Edition 10 Term Four | 26 October 2018
From the Principalrsquos Desk Welcome to the final term for 2018 Itrsquos hard to believe how
quickly this year is going
Our Year 12 students have now completed their formal
education here at the College Our recent graduation assembly
enabled our Year 12 class to pass on a number of messages to
our younger students teachers and parents and there was a
strong theme of gratitude for their education for each other and
for the opportunities they have had during their educational
journey at the College That evening we celebrated Mass at
St Paulrsquos Church followed by the Graduation Dinner The whole
day was a wonderful celebration of both them as young people
and what we seek to build for all of our students here at
St Lukersquos ndash good relationships On behalf of the St Lukersquos College
community I wish all our departing Year 12 students the very
best for the future I hope they will look back on their time at
the College with fond memories To our ATAR students our best
wishes and prayers for your upcoming examinations
Recently our College celebrated Mass in honour of our patron
St Luke The Mass gave us a wonderful insight into the man who
was St Luke the Evangelist St Luke highlighted Jesusrsquo great love
for those who operated at the margins of society ndash the poor the
sick and the children His mission is our mission we must
continually reach out to those who need us and offer our
practical and prayerful support
The gymnasium interior was painted just before the holidays
and new tinting was added to all the windows a few weeks ago
This lsquofaceliftrsquo has made a very noticeable difference to this
space My thanks goes to FOSL for their generous support in
funding the cost of the tinting I know both staff and students
are most appreciative of this upgrade as we head into the
warmer months
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Karratha Education
Initiative The KEI has contributed approximately $5 000 000 to
the College during this time These funds cover expenses
associated with revision courses seminars scholarships and
professional development opportunities to name just a few

The Spirit Newsletter
Members of our College community along with some past students attended a sundowner last week to
acknowledge this milestone My sincere thanks goes to the Woodside operated NWSP for their
generous support over the last decade on behalf of the St Lukersquos College community This support has

forward to our continuing association

complements the work Headspace have been doing at the College over the past six months

$16000 raised towards the cost of replacing the chiller in the gym My thanks also to the many
individuals and businesses in the region who donated prizes or services as part of the evening Your

When announcing these students at our final assembly for Term 3 I spoke about servant leadership

making a positive difference in the best interest of the community On behalf of the College I wish
these students the best of luck in their roles next year Irsquom sure they will do the College proud

Leeuwin Adventure Sailing Program
The Leeuwin is such an awesome experience that I couldnrsquot help but sign up and go for a second time
and it was just as amazing as the first Our days consisted of good food not much sleep and lots of
adrenaline filled fun activities Being able to learn about the ship and how it all works as well as meeting
some great people from all over Australia making some life long quality mates is something I will never
forget While on the ship you lose all shame and embarrassment and are encouraged to get involved in
all activities whether it makes you look like a goose or not Irsquod recommend anyone to go on the Leeuwin
if they have the opportunity itrsquos a chance to improve personal skills meet new people and have a great
time

Leeuwin Adventure Sailing Program
The Leeuwin is such an awesome experience that I couldnrsquot help but sign up and go for a second time
and it was just as amazing as the first Our days consisted of good food not much sleep and lots of
adrenaline filled fun activities Being able to learn about the ship and how it all works as well as meeting
some great people from all over Australia making some life long quality mates is something I will never
forget While on the ship you lose all shame and embarrassment and are encouraged to get involved in
all activities whether it makes you look like a goose or not Irsquod recommend anyone to go on the Leeuwin
if they have the opportunity itrsquos a chance to improve personal skills meet new people and have a great
time
