Welcome to Term One

Last week, after close to 5 years of planning and preparation by our Board and founding staff, we had the absolute joy of welcoming our first students to Term One at Newman College!

Week One culminated in our first Mass and Blessing of the school, celebrated by our Chaplain Fr Conor of the Brisbane Oratory in Formation.

Students, staff, families and Board members gathered in the chapel to celebrate the school’s first Mass together, giving thanks to God for the countless blessings He has poured down upon Newman College over the long period that has led up to this opening. Fr Conor then visited each of our classes and blessed both the students and their classrooms. This special celebration highlighted how central our Catholic faith is to our school’s mission and culture, informing our identity as a classical school.

The students and staff have enjoyed settling into the rhythms of daily life at Newman College, and we are blessed to have the continued support of such a strong community behind us as we embark on our opening year.
