Prayer of Blessings for Students
who lead at Trinity May you have the grace and wisdom
To act kindly, learning To distinguish between what is
Personal and what is not. May you be hospitable to criticism.
May you never put yourself at the centre of things. May you act not from arrogance but out of service.
May you work on yourself, Building up and refining the ways of your mind.
May those who work alongside you know You see and respect them.
May you learn to cultivate the art of presence In order to engage with those who meet you.
When someone fails or disappoints you, May the graciousness with which you engage Be their stairway to renewal and refinement.
May you treasure the gifts of the mind Through reading and creative thinking
So that you continue as a servant of the frontier Where the new will draw its enrichment from the old
And you never become a functionary. May you know the wisdom of deep listening,
The healing of wholesome words, The encouragement of the appreciative gaze,
The decorum of held dignity, The springtime edge of the bleak question. May you have a mind that loves frontiers So that you can evoke the bright fields
That lie beyond the view of the regular eye. May you have good friends To mirror your blind spots May leadership be for you A true adventure of growth
(Adapted from John O’Donohue, Benedictus: A book of
Blessings, 2007)
Congratulations to students elected to leadership roles for 2016!

The Year of Mercy Reflection God’s mercy transforms human hearts; it enables us, through the experience of a faithful love, to become merciful in turn. In an ever new miracle, divine mercy shines forth in our lives, inspiring each of us to love our neighbour and to devote ourselves to what the Church’s tradition calls the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. These works remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant to help our neighbours in body and spirit: by feeding, visiting, comforting and instructing them.
MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS FOR LENT 2016:
“I desire mercy, and not sacrifice” (Mt 9:13).
The works of mercy on the road of the Jubilee, 4 October 2015, Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi

KLA News - PDHPE Term 1 this year has begun with a flying start for our Yr. 7 students. Some excited and some apprehensive, our Benedict and Champagnat students have launched into the Aquatics Program held at Birrong Leisure Centre. The program aims for students to develop their aquatic skills, including safety in and around water, stroke development and correction and practicing survival skills. The students have been fantastic! Their behaviour and approach to this program has been admirable and we commend them on their outstanding behaviour. We look forward to the continual participation of all Yr. 7 students throughout the term and thank all the staff involved with this program.
Meanwhile, on the Auburn campus, Yr. 12 Community and Family Studies students have handed in their first HSC Assessment Task. This was based on their own research of various issues in the community and the impact of these issues on an individual's well being. All of our Yr. 12 PDHPE and CFS students should now be focused on their half yearly examinations, which are coming up during their exam block in weeks 9/10. We look forward to a great year of learning. Ms Klimko and Mr Fox Don’t Forget…… IT’S COMPULSORY – Hats are to be worn in PDHPE practical. This is compulsory during Terms 1 and 4.
