The Evanston Campus community gathered in prayer and reflection today for the Beginning of Year Mass, marking the official start of the 2026 school year. The service provided a moment of shared purpose, grounding the community in faith before the busy academic calendar begins.

Central to this year’s celebration was the 2026 Salesian Strenna: ‘Do whatever He tells you.‘ This theme—a reflection on the call to listen, trust, and act—offered students and staff a spiritual roadmap for the months ahead. In a significant moment for the campus, the 2026 Student Leaders were officially recognised. In front of their peers, teachers, and families, these students were presented with their leadership badges.

We congratulate our new student leaders and look forward to seeing our entire student body flourish throughout 2026.
