The readings and prayers during todays McAuley House Mass focused on the theme Gráthe Celtic concept of love, and our McAuley House #ahsisters even decorated each pew with beautiful reflections on what Grá means to them. We invite you, too, to reflect on what love means to you

Thanks to the generosity of our staff, #ahsisters, families and Motorama Group, we were able to reach our 2020 Whole School Project goal to purchase a people-mover for Mercy Community's Romero Centre! The vehicle will ensure that Mercy Community - Romero Centre's vulnerable and marginalised clients can access crucial services and engagement in the wider community

19.01.2022 Today we celebrate Mercy Day. The 24th September marks the date Catherine McAuley opened the House of Mercy in Dublin in 1827 a place of shelter for not only the sick and the poor, but also as a school to educate young women in need. In lieu of an official live Mass from Dublin, a pre-recorded Mass is available that includes contributions from across the globe including our All Hallows School Senior Choir singing The Suscipe to conclude the Mass.

19.01.2022 It has been a significant week for our #ahsistersclassof2020, with the commencement of practice external assessment tasks! Today was particularly special for the cohort, with our Year 12 #ahsisters filling Loretto Hall and the LSE rooms to work on an English paper. These practice examinations replicate a true experience of the conditions, length and complexity of External Assessment and are an important aspect of our students preparations. Well done to our seniors, who have demonstrated remarkable focus, motivation and positivity during this milestone!

Our students also had an opportunity to ‘Say G’Day in Turrbal Language’, with informative displays aro...und campus to highlight various greetings and traditional names of some of Brisbane suburbs!

10.01.2022 This week we welcome back our rowers to the All Hallows School boatshed. By the look of the smiles, getting back together to train with their #ahsisters post COVID restrictions was worth it. Good luck for the remainder of the 2020 rowing season!

08.01.2022 Congratulations to our Senior A Debating Team who won the QDU Grand Final last night!

08.01.2022 To our Class of 2020 #ahsisters: as you walk out through the green gates one last time as a student, we want you to be aspirational and inspirational. We want you to bite off more than you can chew and then chew hard. We want you to take every opportunity afforded to you. We want you to be bold. We want you to act for others and to model those values respect, compassion, integrity, joy, service and justice that have shaped you and made you an All Hallows’ girl. Hold the spirit of the AHSisterhood and this special place always in your heart. And may the God of Peace and Mercy always watch over you and keep you safe

The aim is for produce to be used by our Mercy Cooking Group volunteers, who prepare food for those doing it tough in the wider community. Eco-Justice Group students and supervising staff will care for the seedlings as they mature and we will keep you updated on the harvest later this year!

05.01.2022 Our Year 8 #ahsisters have been designing a Careers Day poster advertisement as part of their English assessment this term. A key component of the project is for students to promote a specific occupation while challenging gender stereotypes, so it was fantastic to welcome back two past pupils to speak with our Year 8 cohort and share their personal career journeys. Bridgette Bouma (Senior 2009) discussed her role as a Jillaroo, VET nurse and work in agriculture, while Jamie-Lee Lewis (Senior 2008) spoke about her experience playing for the Gold Coast Titans and being a Carpenter and Concrete Trainee!
