Upcoming College Events
We are excited to announce a Breakfast Club - this is a Term 4 trial.
In recognising many children and young people face challenges that prevent them from starting their day with breakfast, our Breakfast Club is designed to ensure every student has the opportunity to enjoy breakfast in the morning. Research shows missing breakfast can lead to fatigue and difficulty concentrating, which often impacts learning and behaviour.
We are thrilled to have support from Eat Up Australia, an organisation dedicated to providing children in need with nutritious food. Their generous donations of pre-made sandwiches, ready for toasting, will play a crucial role in our breakfast program trial. These sandwiches not only offer a convenient option for our busy mornings but also ensure students have access to breakfast.
By implementing this breakfast program, we aim to create a supportive space where all students can thrive academically and socially. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this initiative will have on our school community!
The Breakfast Club will be available to all students on Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30am – 8:50am.
Students can access a toasty from the Community Lounge 2 windows (same area as canteen orders).
Please see the following invitations for three upcoming Year 12 Graduation events:
Graduation Mass (St Mel's Christ the King Church - extended family welcome) - please note, the College will be closed for this ceremony from 1-3pm.
Graduation Ceremony (St Anne's College - extended family welcome)
Graduation Dinner (The Woolshed - students and parents/carers only)
