It is with deep sadness that we share the news with you of the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dr Davis. His dedication, kindness and unwavering commitment to the young people of Thornleigh Salesian College have left a lasting impact on all of us.
In this time of sorrow, we hold his family and loved ones in our prayers, asking the Lord to grant them strength and comfort.
Our school is a home. We aim to provide a place where our children feel, and are, safe. We care about their well-being and provide structure and kindness so that they can flourish.
We are a school, a place of learning. Academic achievement is at the heart of this but so too is personal development. We work hard every day so that our children know more, can do more, understand more and are kinder, more compassionate and more generous of spirit.
In our school God is at the centre of all that we do. We are a place where spiritual growth is fostered and nurtured. We encourage all our children to discover their spiritual self and to grow as human beings.
In our school we aim to enjoy every day. We encourage children to experience new things and to make new friends. We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities and holiday opportunities for our students so that they have a wide range of cultural activities.

On Sunday we had a tour of the Salesian headquarters in Rome and celebrated a special Mass with Fr Steven, before finding some time to relax and capture our experiences in our journals.Pope Francis visits the icon of Salus Populi Romani after he travels overseas, to give thanks to Our Lady for his journey...on our final morning we also made a pilgrimage to visit this sacred image and gave thanks for the experience of faith and friendship we have had on our trip to Rome!

On Day Two we made a pilgrimage to Vatican City, exploring the museums, seeing the amazing frescos in the Sistine Chapel, and crossing the threshold of the Holy Door in this Jubilee Year. Fr Steven led us in prayer, urging us to have lives that are open to others, so that we can journey through life as "pilgrims of hope."In the afternoon we explored the main sights of Rome, including the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps, finishing our day by sampling some authentic Italian cuisine...who ate the most tiramisu?!
