The Divine Dance acts as a constant reminder of the Holy Spirit that inspires the light that we are all expected to be. The different flames, all colours, shapes and sizes, represent a celebration of our diversity and the different gifts we all bring. The flames also challenge our school leaders as role models walking in the Footsteps of Mary Aikenhead, and as such, at each assembly our College leaders will carry the light in for us. We introduce you to our 2022 College Co-Captains, Adriana Cilia and Annalise Ferbrache, who have shown exemplary College spirit and great resilience and determination to lead their peers, and who will be the first to carry the light. We look forward to this being a tradition in the making. (Left) Adriana Cilia and Annalise Ferbrache, 2022 College Co-Captains, with the Divine Dance.
