Bishop Brian visits our College
Bishop Brian Mascord recently visited the Year 12 students at St Francis Catholic College, offering words of encouragement and spiritual guidance as they approach the end of their schooling journey. During his visit, Year 12 students had the opportunity to ask thoughtful and engaging questions, reflecting on their faith, purpose, and hopes for the future. Bishop Mascord also met with the College Captains and senior student leaders, alongside Director Peter Hill and Assistant Director Joanne Kenny, to discuss leadership, service, and life beyond school. His presence was a valued reminder of the support of the wider Church community during this significant time.
Years 11 and 12 Studies of Religion II Unit Excursion
Year 11 and 12 Studies of Religion II students recently visited the Sydney Jewish Museum as part of their learning on Judaism. The excursion provided a powerful opportunity to deepen their understanding of Jewish beliefs, practices, and riutals—particularly in relation to contemporary Judaism. Students engaged with personal survivor testimonies, explored sacred texts and cultural artefacts, and reflected on the enduring significance of faith, resilience, and remembrance. The experience enriched their classroom learning and fostered a deeper appreciation for interfaith understanding and human dignity.
