A Student's Prayer to Madre Nazarena

Faithful Companion of our Founding Father,
Lover of the poor and oppressed,
Your selfless devotion to duty,
Is the path we all try to tread.

Inspire your daughters who follow,
So their lives can echo yours,
Hope and compassion, peace and love
To serve, as you also have served.

Opening of 2008 Academic Year (Added 18 Mar 2008)

On Thursday 28 February 2008 at 6:00pm in our Chapel, we had a Thanksgiving Eucharistic Celebration for the opening of the 2008 academic year and for the Foundation Day of our FDZ House here in Richmond, Victoria. The presider of the celebration was Fr Peter Norden SJ.

We wish to thank everyone who joined us in thanking God for his blessings.

Cultural Night (Added 30 Jan 2007)

At the end of the 2006 school year we had a Cultural Night—a thanksgiving celebration.

Photo: Students gather for the thanksgiving celebration.

There are many reasons to say thank you to our Creator. They are numberless because every expression of life from him is gratuitous. Everything is a gift: life itself, freedom, intelligence and reason, friendship and love, and the whole of creation.

	As the year draws to a close, a multitude of events has happened, a volume of words has been spoken, born of a thousand thoughts.
	As the year comes to an end, an array of emotions has been experienced, felt of a hundred needs, and drawn out of many wants.
	As the year smoulders into the past, a range of decisions has been reached, formed from a vision for tomorrow, and inspired by the presence of our Creator.
	As the year becomes no more, and we focus on what has been, let us remember that the Source of our being is with us, asking us but one question: "What part of your days could you have lived differently had I been in your mind?"

Eternal Word, we thank you for the gift of each day. We thank you for the gift of our lives. As we journey into the future, help us to rely on you as our mentor in all that we say and do. Forgive us when we do not love you and others as we should. Inspire us to do all of our good works in your name so that we can become your instruments of peace and harmony in the world. So be it.

As part of the Cultural Night, the students enjoy a meal together:
