Perroton News

Perroton has had a great start to 2024, on Wednesday 1 February we welcomed new Tutors, Ms Kritikos and Ms Basha to our Perroton community, as P1 and P5 tutors. We are also very excited to welcome our new Year 7 students to Perroton and it’s been great to see them stepping up and getting involved.

House Mass 

On Wednesday 28 February, Perroton House came together to celebrate our annual House Family Mass and Supper. The event brought together the entire Perroton community of students, families and staff to celebrate the commencement of another exciting school year.

We extend a huge thank you to Father Brian Wilson from Holy Name of Mary Hunters Hill for leading the Mass and to all that got involved. In his Homily, Father spoke on the qualities of our House Patron Marie-Francoise Perroton and what it means to have courage, setting the tone for the year ahead. 

For 2024 the Perroton House mission is ‘PCP’: to have pride, to show courage and to participate. This was exhibited by our wonderful Perroton Choir who kindly chose to share their gifts at Perroton Mass. As the year continues we urge the students of Perroton House to continue sharing their gifts and talents and thank them for all they have done already in the year.

At the conclusion of the Mass, the community gathered on La Valla Terrace to share in a supper provided by our hospitality students. The supper served as a way for students, staff and families to strengthen pre-existing connections and to form new ones developing our sense of belonging. 

We are extremely grateful to have such a loving community in Perroton House and would like to thank all who were able to join us at the College. May we all be inspired to show courage in our lives as we continue on our Marist journeys following the example of Marie-Francoise Perroton.

Caritas Project Compassion  

This year, Caritas Project Compassion has a theme of “For all future generations”, featuring stories from the Philippines, Samoa and Malawi. To contribute to this charity, Perroton House held a Krispy Kreme Day on 28 March. The total raised was approximately $380.00 and we are proudly contributing that to help individuals in need.

Keep up the great effort Perroton – PCP!
