It was wonderful to see so many parents and carers in attendance at our Student Leaders Commissioning on Friday February 24 after several years of disruption due to COVID-19.
The Commissioning was an opportunity to gather as a community, recognising and acknowledging our College leaders for 2023. This significant milestone for these young men called to leadership comes through the love and support of many people – parents, grandparents, family, and teachers.
In his address to the students, Principal Mr Jon Franzin spoke about what it means to be a leader in a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition. Leadership at St Virgil’s College takes inspiration from the Christian Gospels. Jesus said very little about leadership, except to condemn those who misused their position in society for the purposes of personal gain. Rather than talk about it, Jesus modelled leadership. His and all leadership in the Christian context must be focused on service and inclusion and in that spirit.
