Welcome back to the final term of the year! I would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Lisa Liebregts for doing a great job in my absence. I know Mr Tim Maxwell and the rest of the staff supported Lisa in a wonderful way as I was enjoying a fabulous holiday exploring Spain and Portugal. On Monday this week, the staff had a reflection day at the Mary MacKillop Centre in South Perth. We spent time learning more about the life of Mary MacKillop and what type of person she was. One thing that stood out was her immense resilience. She dealt with incredible adversity, and yet she remained strong. What was the secret to her resilience? It was her prayer life and trust in God. Mary spent time in prayer and meditation and this is something we too, are going to spend more time focusing on this term.
