This year the College celebrates 90 years of education.  These years have been filled with childhood memories of thousands of past pupils.  

The official celebration of the 90th took place on Champagnat Day, 6 June.  The day started with Mass at St Michael’s and was followed by the burying of a 2008 time capsule. A mass release of balloons with individual inspirational messages from the St Joseph’s learners ended off the school day.

If you maybe found one of the balloons with a verse from a poem in it, here is the complete poem. 

TIME 

Stand before me on the Sign of Infinity... all you of the Earth. With the granting of "The Law of Probenation" comes the application of change... 

I will give you the key. And with this knowledge, please realize, comes the responsibility of sharing it...I will show you the way: (It's very simple). Throughout the Universe there is order...In the movement of the planets ... in nature... and in the functioning of the human mind. 

A mind that is in its natural state of order, is in harmony with the Universe, and such a mind... is timeless. 

Your life is an expression of your mind.You are a creator of your own Universe, for as a human being... you are "free to will" whatever state of being you desire, through the use of your thoughts... and words.

There is great Power there.  It can be a blessing or a curse. It's entirely up to you, for the quality of your life is brought about by the quality of your thinking. 

Think about that. Thoughts produce actions. Look at what you are thinking... See the pettiness and the envy and the greed and the fear and all the other attitudes that cause you pain and discomfort. Realize that the one thing you have absolute control over is your attitude. 

See the effect that it has on those around you, for each life is linked to all Life and your words carry with them chain reactions like a stone that is thrown into a pond. If your thinking is in order, your words will flow directly from the heart, creating ripples of love. 

If you truly want to change your world, my friends, you must change your thinking. Reason is your greatest tool.It creates an atmosphere of understanding which leads to caring which is... Love!
