Catholic Youth Summit

Six Year 10 students attended the Catholic Youth Summit this week themed BE (the right) ATTITUDE. This was a great forum for students to network and learn how they can be a Catholic leader. 

St Louis Day - 27 June 2019

Yesterday St Louis students celebrated their House Day at John XXIII College. We celebrated a paraliturgy in the Chapel reflecting on the life of our patron St Aloysius Gonzaga followed by a shared pizza lunch in the Hall. We also celebrated some of the outstanding contributions from St Louis students so far this year. Homeroom teachers were asked to put forward the names of students who had made an extra effort in respect to Homeroom time or House spirit.

The following students were awarded a St Louis award:

Eighteen students and two staff were also involved in cooking meals for The Shopfront after school. Lots of fun was had and hopefully the meals prove to be delicious. The celebration culminated today with a special focus at the Community Mass on Saint Aloysius Gonzaga and St Louis students were involved in the Mass.

It was a pleasure to see all students involved and enthusiastic in our House day celebration. A special mention must be made of the House staff and our various student leaders for their help in organising the day.

Careers and Enterprise

An innovative session, in designing and printing a personal name tag, was recently conducted by past student Tom Anderson-King for the Years 11 and 12 Career and Enterprise students. The final product, using the College’s 3D printers, were a testament to Tom and the students and the capabilities of technology in the world we live in.
