7 SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2026 Pope Leo XIV - Magnifica Humanitas - ‘Magnificent Humanity’ In his recent encyclical letter Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV reflects on the dignity and beauty of the human person, created in the image and likeness of God. He calls Christians to recognise the value of every individual and to promote a culture of encounter, compassion and solidarity. The document emphasises that true human flourishing is found in relationships rooted in love, justice and service. Pope Leo encourages the faithful to become witnesses of hope by respecting the dignity of all people and working for the common good. Encyclical Letter: www.vatican.va Final Service for Year 13 Students On 22nd May, the school community gathered for the final service for our Year 13 students. It was an opportunity to give thanks for their contribution to school life and to celebrate their achievements throughout their time at Thornleigh. The Headteacher, together with members of the Sixth Form Leadership Team, offered messages of encouragement and gratitude, acknowledging the positive way in which students had embraced and lived the values of our Salesian community. We wish all our Year 13 students every success and blessing as they begin the next stage of their journey. Welcome to Bro Raphael SDB Following the May half-term break, we were delighted to welcome Bro Raphael SDB as Assistant Chaplain to Thornleigh Salesian College. Originally from Eswatini, Bro Raphael has recently completed his theological studies in London. He joins us as part of his pastoral ministry and will work closely with students, particularly within the Sixth Form, supporting the spiritual life and mission of the school. We look forward to the many gifts and experiences he will bring to our community.
