Reminders
Sock it to the Can
We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our college community last Thursday with donations of non-perishable food items and winter woolies including new socks, beanies and scarves, as part of our Sock It to the Can Pyjama Day, supporting our local St Vincent de Paul chapter.
Thank you to everyone who donated - our Year 11 students leading this initiative and the local Vinnies volunteers, were incredibly grateful. Your kindness will make a real difference and help support many local families doing it tough this winter.
It's not too late to donate - we will be collecting items until the end of the first week of Term 3. Items can be brought to TA spaces or left at the College Office. Thank you for your support.

Lost Property Reminder
We have a number of unnamed items in our lost property box including school jumpers and jackets, shoes, drink bottles and lunch boxes.
We ask families to please check for any items your child may be missing before the end of term. All unclaimed items will be donated to Vinnies during the school holidays.
The lost property box is located outside the door between the College Office and F-4 quadrangle.
Bus Zones Safety Reminder
Families are reminded a bus zone is in place in Tulloh Street from 8.00-9.00am and McCormick Road from 8.00-9.00am and 3.15-4.00pm on school days.
To allow bus drivers to perform their duties safely and for the safety of students and other road users, please follow all street signage in these zones.
Vehicles other than buses are not permitted to park or stop in bus zones to drop students off during the indicated bus zone times.
End of Semester Overdue Library Books
We have a few long-term overdue books that we would love to be returned to the library so others have a chance to borrow them.
Please speak to your children about any library books they might have that need to find their way back to school. The holidays are a great chance to check under beds and car seats for missing books.

Congratulations to our final SOLE Stars for Term 2.

Sandhurst World Youth Day Seoul 2027 Pilgrimage
Expression of Interest Now Open
Led by Bishop Rene Ramirez RCJ, the Diocese of Sandhurst pilgrimage to World Youth Day Seoul 2027 offers participants the chance to deepen their faith, encounter the universal Church, and grow as intentional and missionary disciples alongside millions of young Catholics from around the world. The estimated cost is $6,000–$7,000 with CESL subsidies available.
