Year 9 Service Week
We are pleased to once again partner with Blessing Bags in 2024. This organisation is a not-for-profit, run by volunteers and seeks to support and empower people currently experiencing homelessness and those at risk or experiencing homelessness. Their vision is to see people experiencing homelessness treated with compassion while receiving the appropriate support, and for these individuals to have access to safe, affordable and secure housing.
The mission? To provide people experiencing homelessness with essential items that we often take for granted. We aim for a judgement-free approach to our work to ensure our services are accessible. Since its founding in 2015, Blessing Bags has distributed more than 17, 000 hygiene bags. Providing a little bit of relief and a message of hope to those who need it. We hope that through our efforts we can help the mission of helping those in need. The founder of Blessing Bags said about her inspiration to help those in need, ‘Now that I have Seen, I am Responsible’.
Blessing Bag Day is Wednesday 26 June. Our goal is to exceed 600 bags for the day.
Over the coming weeks please drop off any donations to the Blessing Bag collection point at the reception:
- Deodorant (roll on)
- Shampoo (300ml is preferred)
- Conditioner (300ml is preferred)

New Parents Induction
To assist new families to the College with their transition into the community, parents are invited to participate in the New Parent Induction Program.
Consisting of two evening sessions, the induction program provides an opportunity for new parents to meet together, ask questions and gain a deeper insight into the working of the College. Parents will learn how we go about educating your children and the fundamental values around who we are and what we do.
Session 1: The first of two sessions, this session provides a deeper introduction to the College exploring who we are as a learning community. We discuss what Christian Education involves, how it works and the stories we are telling. Our hope is that you will leave this session better equipped to partner with staff on your child’s education journey.
