Love Week

Love week is back in 2026, and we’re sharing the love at Santa! Across five themed days, students were invited to reflect on different forms of love: for themselves, for others, for culture, for the environment, and for the school they belong to. The result was a week filled with colour, laughter, and meaningful moments that brought everyone a little closer.

The week opened with Love Yourself Day, a gentle reminder that wellbeing is the foundation of everything else. The Student Leadership team decorated the locker rooms with small self affirmation notes to start the week with a positive attitude.  Students gathered at St Elizabeth’s during lunch for calming activities like yoga, meditation, and colouring. The atmosphere was peaceful and restorative, offering a rare moment of stillness in the middle of a busy term. The Tim Tams added a sweet touch, making self‑care feel both nourishing and fun.

On Love Your Teachers and Peers Day, the focus shifted to gratitude. The Piazza buzzed with students writing thoughtful Teachergrams to acknowledge the staff who support them every day. It was a day full of appreciation, laughter, and the kind of small gestures that strengthen relationships.

On Wednesday, the school embraced diversity with Love Your Culture Day. Students were invited to help decorate a large cultural banner in the Piazza, adding symbols, colours, and messages that represented their heritage. The collaborative artwork became a vibrant display of the school’s multicultural identity. Lunchtime busking added to the atmosphere, filling the space with music and showcasing the talents of students from across the community.

Thursday’s theme, Love the Environment Day, encouraged students to think beyond themselves. The Sienna Centre Café offered free spiders at recess for anyone who brought a keep cup, promoting sustainability in a fun and delicious way. At lunch, students could attend Mass in the Chapel to show their love of faith. 

The week concluded with a burst of school pride on Love Your School Day. Students gathered on the Small Hockey Field at lunch for the highly anticipated Year 12 Theme Launch. The event brought excitement, unity, and a sense of celebration that perfectly wrapped up the week. It was a reminder of how much the school community has to offer — and how much love students have for the place they learn and grow.
