Since 1994, the 26th January has been celebrated as Australia Day.
At its best, this day can highlight the beauty of our national story that is over 60,000 years old. At worst, it can mask the hurt and loss experienced by many of our First Nations people.
With our Franciscan tradition guiding us, we stand strong in our call for truth telling about our nation’s history and our support for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution and a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement-making between governments and First Nations people.
Let us listen, learn and pray for reconciliation.

Next week is the big week. We get to see your familiar faces, as well as meet all our new year 7s and new students. 2023 is going to be a fantastic year! We have lots planned, some new adventures to be had, and different ways to explore what we have on offer in the iCentre. We're still the same, but different 🤣
See you soon!

For those iCentre friends who are in to mysteries, loved Knives Out or The Glass Onion, have we got a treat for you! Starting in Term 1 we need to put together a crack team of detectives to try and solve the mystery of Cains Jawbone. This mystery adventure has been solved only three times since it was sent to print in 1934!
Each page of the book has been printed out of order but it is possible to reorder the pages to reveal six murders and murderers. The problem is that there are millions of combinations that work, but only one correct order.
Get set.

2022 has come to an end. We asked the iCentre team members for some of their favourite moments throughout the year and have popped them in this post.
To be honest there have been so many great moments. From meeting all our new year 7s in January and all the events large and small, formal and not so formal, it's been a wonderful year.
We know every year we say that the next will be amazing, but let's just say 2023 is set to try and topple all the years before... imagine..
Happy New Year everyone.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
Remembrance Day honouring Australian service personnel who have died or suffered in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Lest we forget

Its been a while since we had a HumanOfMtA post, and we promise that we’ll try and make it more of a regular feature – but – we have a great one for you today.
Meet Lillian. Lillian and her father made the most beautiful guitar. Yes, you heard that right, they made a guitar.
Lillian is a keen guitarist and her father had always wanted to build a guitar so they decided to get creative and make a guitar themselves – the guitar is patterned off a Gibson Les Paul, and it is hand made from Burl and Camphor Laurel. Lillian and her Dad made the guitar over an 18 month period (over weekends and after school) and Lillian worked on the electrics. Lillians Dad did the majority of the wood work and used a forge to melt copper pipe to make bronze for the guitar. The guitar is named Tiger Lilly and even has its name carved in to the wood. The first song Lillian played on Tiger Lilly was It’s a long way to the top by ACDC. Rock on Lillian!

Our Year 7 students were fortunate to have Australian author Jane Godwin available to talk with them today about the process of writing and creating characters.
Jane is a fantastic Australian author who has published over 30 books nationally and internationally she has written across several genres and for readers of many ages.
Jane was an incredibly engaging speaker and gave students many useful strategies for writing characters, tips for how to create a character’s voice and write from a point of view. Students also had the opportunity to ask questions (some tricky ones!) and Jane gave wonderful insights into the writing process.

Today, October 11th is International Day of the Girl. Girls all around the word face inequalities and discrimination based solely on the fact that they are girls. In some societies and cultures this discrimination includes exclusion to medical care, schooling, basic legal and human rights, and the ability to live their lives freely. Today is a day to reflect on the challenges faced by girls globally and the potential that you have in your own life. What are you doing to ensure that your voice is heard? You can rule the world, your voice is important and so are your dreams and aspirations. Celebrate International Day of the Girl with a commitment to strive to be the best you can be.
