Today, we had our Year 7 Form Mass. This was a wonderful event which saw the boys participate exceptionally well in not only their singing and responses, but also in the readings and a drama performance during the Gospel.
This mass was the first time that the boys have celebrated mass together in the chapel and this in itself is an important event, keeping in mind the importance of our faith here at the College. As well as this, however, at the mass, the boys were presented with their College Bible. Mr Tarlinton spoke to the boys about the importance of them looking after their Bible and his hope that it would be something that they would have with them not only for the time they are at Joeys but also beyond.
A special thanks must go to the Religious Education staff who worked with the boys in preparing each part of the liturgy. Seeing the boys participate as they did is a clear indication that the boys have a deep respect for their faith and the Religious Education Staff have helped greatly in fostering this so far this year.
