It is great to see the boys expressing their creativity and leaving a legacy on the Regis Campus .
Participation in the Art Club is voluntary and sessions are held during lunch breaks and after school . Over the last three years , more than 80 students have participated , completing a range of projects and enriching their experience of creative expression at Saint Ignatius ’ College .
Regis Mothers ' Day Mass
On Friday 12th May , Regis boys welcomed their mums to the Campus to celebrate the Mother-Son Mass , an important community fixture in the Regis calendar . Jonathan Allfrey welcomed guests with a poem from Glaedr the Poet , an excerpt of which is below :
A mother ’ s love endures forever Its unbreakable bonds no one can sever No matter how much I have grown My mother ’ s love is always shown She has become a mentor and a guide Within her always I am able to confide .
Fr Jack McLain SJ celebrated the Mass , encouraging boys to consider the special role their mothers play in their lives . This celebration is one of many over the year that allows the Regis community to reflect with gratitude on God ’ s gift of love . It was wonderful to see so many mothers and grandmothers in attendance , participating in the boys ’ education . The Regis Choir performed beautifully as always , ably led by Mr Kirk Hume and Ms Christine Moriarty . Thanks go to Regis Liturgy Coordinator Ms Emma Kent who prepared the Mass and to all the families who made the effort to come to Regis to celebrate as a community .
