2024 Yearbook

MISSION & MINISTRY Assistant Principal Mission & Ministry MARY WRIGHT

As we reflect on the year 2024 at Hennessy Catholic College, the theme of "Learning Dynamically Through the Spirit's Fruits" resonates deeply within our community. This year has been marked by spiritual growth, leadership development, and a commitment to service, in the portfolio of Mission and Ministry.

In the Ministry space, we have been fortunate to have Mr Miller at the helm as the Liturgies and Ceremonies Coordinator. His dedication and care have created numerous opportunities for our students to connect with their spiritual journeys. The Catholic Schools Youth Ministry Program (CSYMA) has flourished this year, with over 20 students from Years 9 and 10 participating. These students have demonstrated remarkable leadership and personal development as they explored their faith, leading sacramental retreats for children from our feeder primary schools—St Mary’s Young, St Joseph’s Boorowa, St Joseph’s Grenfell, and Trinity Murrumburrah. We eagerly anticipate the continued growth of this program in the coming year. Our students have also engaged in a diverse array of pastoral programs to address the challenges of today's world. The Year 10, 11, and 12 girls participated in the Tomorrow Woman program, which empowered them to own their stories and share them courageously. Additionally, the Cyber Safety Project provided invaluable tips on safe internet use, while various programs focused on mental health, respectful relationships, and consent, addressing these critical issues head-on.
