Live Spiritually...

T he Mission of the College is to ensure that students are able to engage with the person of Jesus Christ through their daily interactions with each other. The College aims to guide our students toward developing this engagement though an appreciation of prayer, masses, liturgies, religious education lessons and social justice initiatives. Our Catholic prayer life is open to all in our community and is inclusive of all faiths. Hennessy Catholic College realises the importance of fostering student wellbeing by involvement outside the classroom. Hennessy offers an extensive retreat and camp program. The program is structured to meet the needs of the individual student at the different stages of their Hennessy journey.

Students at Hennessy Catholic College are provided with a formational and educative curriculum during Years 7-10 (stages 4 and 5), which introduces them to the life of Jesus, scripture, prayer, social justice, as well as a holistic education around the stories and example of our H ouse patrons. Our H ouse patrons are Venerable Nano Nagle (founder of the Presentation Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary), Blessed Edmund Rice (founder of the Christian Brothers), Venerable Catherine McAuley (founder of the Mercy Sisters) and Bishop John Gallagher, the first b ishop in the region.

HSC subjects allow our students to get a basis and understanding of our multi-faith society, give a rigorous presentation of the importance of religion in society and of the need for tolerance and understanding of other faiths. Students are given retreat and leadership opportunities to develop Christian leadership skills that prepare them well for the ir future.
