Catholic Schools Week

This week we celebrated Catholic School’s Week! The theme is “Living Life to the Full” and for this we created activities for the girls to reflect on, as well as time to spend with our Lord in Adoration in the chapel. This year’s focus is on living our lives with the hope of a brighter tomorrow, as we reconnect with our communities. Pope Francis reminds us that “From panoramic vistas to the tiniest living form, nature is a constant source of wonder and awe” (Laudato Si, 85). Living in wonder with all that surrounds us, as well as not forgetting the wonder within ourselves, is the invitation this week has offered us at Rosemont.

1st year Flower Power

First years unleashed their practical and creative skills to launch Project “Flower Power”!   Students are to bring in a flowerpot (can be a recycled jar) and select a bulb – iris; freesia; crocosmia; gladiola. Looking forward to lots of learning about gardening. Will keep you updated on progress!
