Going the Distance at the Melbourne Marathon

Congratulations to Ms Jones and Mr Doran, who took on the Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival, with both teachers successfully completing the half marathon!

The 21.1 kilometre challenge was a memorable occasion for both runners.  Ms Jones beat her previous time by 4 minutes and, for Mr Doran, it was an especially significant milestone, as he completed his first-ever half marathon race.

Their achievements are a testament to the dedication, training and perseverance required to take on such a challenge.  Well done to both Ms Jones and Mr Doran on an outstanding effort and congratulations on reaching the finish line with personal bests!

Year 7, 2027 Assessment Day

On Saturday, 10 October, the College welcomed Grade 6 students who have enrolled at the College in 2027 for Year 7.  Our newest members of the community spent the morning navigating a series of PAT tests which will allow the College to best support their transition into secondary school.  It was a wonderful atmosphere as students were able to get together formally as a year level and spend some time getting to know each other.  We look forward to seeing them again at the Orientation day on Tuesday, 8 December. 

Thank you to all families who attended the morning and congratulations to all our graduating class of 2032.   

Year 4 Discovery Day

The College held its third and final Year 4 Discovery Day for this year on Monday, 12 October.   Approximately 70 students from Galilee Regional Catholic PS (South Melbourne), Holy Rosary PS (Kensington), St Brendan’s PS (Flemington), St Joseph’s PS (Northcote) and St Augustine’s PS (Yarraville) joined us for a fantastic secondary school experience.  

Students participated in a Scavenger Hunt around the College, visiting sacred sites and significant areas of our College… including the Canteen.  They then split up into three groups and rotated around various activities which included, dancing, cooking and a STEM activity.   A wonderful day was had by all and we were so pleased to see such joy and excitement in all of the primary students' faces. 

A big thank you to the teachers who ran activities and to the Academy students who assisted on the day.
