Regis Art Club Murals
The Regis Art Club provides an opportunity for students with a love of visual arts to express their creativity and develop their artistic talents. Over the last three years, students in the Art Club have been responsible for designing and executing a number of murals around the Campus, including Mr Smith’ s office and the foyer of the technology room. The Art Club is currently designing a mural to decorate the space between the Music classroom and Visual Arts classroom. It is great to see the boys expressing their creativity and leaving a legacy on the Regis Campus.
Participation in the Art Club is voluntary and sessions are held during lunch breaks and after school. Over the last three years, more than 80 students have participated, completing a range of projects and enriching their experience of creative expression at Saint Ignatius’ College.
Regis Mothers ' Day Mass
On Friday 12th May, Regis boys welcomed their mums to the Campus to celebrate the Mother-Son Mass, an important community fixture in the Regis calendar. Jonathan Allfrey welcomed guests with a poem from Glaedr the Poet, an excerpt of which is below:
A mother’ s love endures forever Its unbreakable bonds no one can sever No matter how much I have grown My mother’ s love is always shown She has become a mentor and a guide Within her always I am able to confide.
Fr Jack McLain SJ celebrated the Mass, encouraging boys to consider the special role their mothers play in their lives. This celebration is one of many over the year that allows the Regis community to reflect with gratitude on God’ s gift of love. It was wonderful to see so many mothers and grandmothers in attendance, participating in the boys’ education. The Regis Choir performed beautifully as always, ably led by Mr Kirk Hume and Ms Christine Moriarty. Thanks go to Regis Liturgy Coordinator Ms Emma Kent who prepared the Mass and to all the families who made the effort to come to Regis to celebrate as a community.
