Stoph explained to the VCE Business Management class, the day-to-day operations, staffing in a rural area, licensing procedures, his entrepreneurial skills, the challenges in business during a pandemic and the way forward.

14.01.2022 CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK | The theme for Catholic Education Week 2020 is Listen to what the Spirit is saying. This theme focuses on listening and discernment which is borne from rich dialogue. Pope Francis defines discernment as more than intelligence or common sense: It is a gift which we must implore. If we ask with confidence that the Holy Spirit grant us this gift, and then seek to develop it through prayer, reflection, reading and good counsel, then surely we will gr...ow in this spiritual endowment. Catholic Education Week Prayer: Gracious God, nurture in us a discerning heart, to hear the Holy Spirit in the voices of others, to challenge our own will, desires, fears and prejudices and to be open to your will. Amen #catholiceducationweek #listen #listentowhatthespiritissaying #ourgift #faith #smallschool #bigoppportunities #stbc
