2024 Yearbook

KATHY HOLDING PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

2025 was the archdiocesan year of the Holy Spirit. Hennessy students were challenged to focus on the fruits of the spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. My motto is always that ‘Country kids can do anything’ and this is nowhere more evident than at Hennessy. I believe that Hennessy students are very special. It is an absolute privilege to work with young people and to watch them learn and grow. We are so fortunate to have such talented, friendly and generous students in our care. This year we welcomed many new students to Year 7 and Year 11 as well as other year groups. Our Year 12 Class of 2024 has now left and eagerly awaits their HSC results, this class will be greatly missed for their positive influence on the College community. Special recognition must also go to our student leadership team led by Jasmine Sullivan and James Payne. The student leadership team have worked tirelessly to be a student voice and to organise engaging and fun activities for the College. A huge thank you to our many parents and carers for their support. Student outcomes will always be at their best when supported by a strong school/home partnership. I would also like to thank the Community Council for their support and wisdom this year, led by Mrs Natalie Turner. I would like to acknowledge Father Jiss and Father Mark who are much valued members of our Hennessy community. Their ongoing support and guidance and involvement in masses and liturgies has been much appreciated throughout the year. We wish Father Mark all the best in his move to a new parish in 2025.
