Tenison Woods Catholic School warmly welcome our new Archbishop Patrick O’Regan to Adelaide.
It is with great appreciation that we welcome the announcement of our new Archbishop Partick O'Regan. Pope Francis appointed Bishop O'Regan, currently Bishop of the Diocese in Sale Victoria as the 12th Archbishop of Adelaide.
Our Year 6 students joined other Catholic schools at the Adelaide Cathedral Hall in Wakefield St.
These school leaders participated in a Just Leadership Day facilitated by Suzy Penberthy from Caritas Australia. They learnt about and spoke about their hopes for the future, global influences on these hopes and those in the world who don't have the power to change their circumstances.
At TWCS we reflected on our school theme 'We show love in all things as we live, learn and lead' and today all students showed love by kindly donating a gold coin to our Shrove Tuesday Bushfire Appeal.
