Champagnat Week Celebrations



It has been a big few weeks planning for one of the big events on our annual calendar, Founders day celebrations and now it is all over. Things began on Thurs 3 June with whole school singing and liturgy practices and then that afternoon the Superior General and Vicar General of the Marist Brothers' dropped in to chat with about 50 keen teachers and supporters to listen. Friday was D Day - Champagant Day  with the day beginning with mass with our 2 special guests from Rome. Our theme in the year of the priest was 'Come Follow Me'. A highlight was one of our spanish speaking boys welcoming and introducing Br Emili in Brother's native language which greatly impressed him, before presenting him with a Socceroos jumper.

The day followed with games, barbeques, cross country and staff/student touch football games before finishing the day with staff drinks......but later that evening in a Brazilian restaurant (we couldn't find a french one) about 20 keen Marists gathered around the table to end the day with good food and some wine!

A great finish to a fabulous day. Onwards and upwards for planning for 2011.
