School Nurse Program
As part of the Department of Education Primary School Nursing program to screen our students in Foundation, the school nurse will be visiting the College on 27th October, 2025.
An envelope with further information and a QR code to access the online School Entrant Health Questionnaire has been sent home with Foundation students this week.
We ask each family to complete the questionnaire as soon as possible. Please attend to the questionnaire by 20th October, even if you do not wish for your child to see the school nurse.
Thank you for your attention to this. If you require any further information, please contact Leanne Reed, F-12 Learner Diversity Leader, at the College.
St Augustine’s Students Shine in Frozen Jr.
Have you purchased your tickets to see St Augustine's students Jasmin, Eden and Willow in action this weekend in Echuca-Moama Theatre Company’s magical production of Frozen Jr?
They’ll be performing alongside a cast of 36 young people aged 8-18 years from across the region, bringing Arendelle to life on stage from 10–12 October at Echuca Paramount.
Let’s cheer them on as they share their talent and hard work with the community!

Every Old Phone Counts - do you have one?
Our Years 7 and 8 Outdoor Education classes are supporting Zoos Victoria’s Fighting Extinction – They’re Calling on You campaign.
We are asking everyone to bring in old mobile phones, tablets and accessories (chargers, cords, etc.) that you no longer use.
Why? 🦍 Recycling these items helps reduce the need for mining materials that destroy animal habitats, protecting endangered species like gorillas.
Every phone makes a difference:
5 phones = health monitoring of a baby gorilla for a day
10 phones = petrol for vets to reach the forest
50 phones = anaesthetic for an injured gorilla
100 phones = rain gear so vets can work in bad weather
📱 Where to donate: Phones and accessories can be dropped into the collection box at one of the following boxes:
The College Office
Year 7 Space
If you can, please unlock phones and reset them to factory settings. More information on data security can be found at https://www.zoo.org.au/phone/
Every phone counts – together, we can make a difference! 💚
They're Calling On You | Zoos Victoria
No one knows exactly how many Eastern Lowland Gorillas survive in the wild, but with 8,500 believed to be remaining they are Critically Endangered. The survival of every gorilla counts. You can help gorillas in the wild simply by recycling your phones . Every phone raises funds to support the work of the Gorilla Doctors, who provide life-saving medical care.
