End of year Celebration  (2010)

There was great excitement on Wednesday December 1, when the Catalyst Clemente Newcastle community gathered in the Lord Mayor’s Reception Room to celebrate the achievement of students over the 2009-2010 academic years. 

Guests included students and their family and friends; the Lord and Lady Mayoress, John and Cathy Tate; Sr. Ellen Royan from the leadership team of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Lochinvar; Professor Jude Butcher Director of Australian Catholic University’s Institute for Advancing Community Engagement; and representatives from CatholicCare, Compass Housing, Samaritans and other supporters.

During the afternoon Lord Mayor John Tate presented students with a local certificate acknowledging their participation in various courses over the two academic years. 

Two students have now completed the course.  The Lady Mayoress and patron of Catalyst Clemente Newcastle presented them with the gift of a frame.  These students will graduate from Australian Catholic University with a Certificate in Liberal Arts at the university’s Graduation Ceremony in 2011.  It is our hope that they will use the frame to display their Certificate for all to see. 

The celebration also gave students and learning partners an opportunity to share their experience and for students to thank all those who have supported Catalyst Clemente Newcastle over 2009-2010.

The celebration ended with a song by Catherine Mahony to the accompaniment of Greg Smith and fabulous afternoon tea.
