Prayer
Lord,
You invite all who are burdened to come to you.
Allow Your healing Hand to heal me.
Touch my soul with Your compassion for others;
touch my heart with Your courage and infinite Love for all;
touch my mind with Your Wisdom,
and may my mouth always proclaim Your praise.
Teach me to reach out to You in all my needs,
and help me to lead others to You by my example.
Most loving Heart of Jesus,
bring me health in body and spirit
that I may serve You with all my strength.
Touch gently this life which you have created,
now and forever.
Amen.
This week’s prayer speaks to personal news that I wish to share with the Sacred Heart College community.
I have recently received news that I have been diagnosed with an early-stage cancer. I am currently asymptomatic. I will have treatment early next term with very good prospects of making a full recovery. The treatment will require me to be away from school for 6-8 weeks and I expect that to be during the second half of third term and into the September holidays. After treatment and recovery, all advice indicates that I will be free to return unhindered to school.
Personally, I would like to thank my family for their unconditional love and support, and also that of the leadership team.
My message for anyone of a certain age in the SHC community is to make sure that you avail yourself of the various medical tests that we are privileged to have in Australia. They can be irritating and time-consuming but they can also be life-saving.
Feast of the Sacred Heart
On Thursday of this week, the College community gathered with our College Chaplains and special guests, Sr Madeline and Sr Carol to celebrate the school’s feast day. The opportunity to celebrate Eucharist as the term comes to a close is a privileged one as is the opportunity to recognise a small number of students and staff through presentation of Spirit of Sacred Heart awards.
End of Term Arrangements
Second term for all students concludes tomorrow with arrangements for coming weeks detailed below:
- Friday 26 June All students conclude at 2.30pm for mid-year holidays
- Monday 13 July Student Free Day (RE PL Day) - Please note the office will be closed on 13 July.
- Tuesday 14 July All students commence term 3
Staff Farewells
With first semester coming to a close, Sacred Heart College is farewelling two teaching staff members:
- Natalie Port (Mathematics) – Natalie is returning to full time study
- Zarya Volya (English/French) – Zarya has accepted an ongoing teaching position at the Alice Miller School.
Bereavements: Your prayers are asked for the McNally family on the passing of Helena Muster, grandmother of Finnian Year 8 and Max Year 11. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Yours in Mercy,
Dr Darren Egberts
