Colouring Competition
Blake and Gabe are running a small colouring comp for the kids.
A local Yarraville illustrator has provided the picture. A teacher and speech pathologist at PEGS, has written a children's book about Covid so we thought we would give away a few books as a prize as we think it's an important message.
The entry details are on our Instagram.
To be in the draw for a prize, just email the entry to: gabrielle@hedleyperrett.com.au

This unusual year has had implications for so many students and their landmark years at school. For example, whether it is a Foundation or a Grade 6 student, their enjoyment of their landmark year at school has been very different. Some things haven’t been able to happen, but some other good things have appeared in their place. The same is happening at our school, some of the activities or events our Year 7 students we looking forward to haven’t been able to run in their traditional format, but, others have appeared in their place, it has been the same for the Year 12s in their very important final year. We have been amazed at our school at the way our students have adapted and been flexible and, most importantly, maintained an incredibly positive attitude towards school. The very hard work by students, their parents and the creative efforts by the teachers has been key in to this.
Sadly, though all of this we have been unable to run tours for families of our campuses. Instead, we have been sharing great insights into life at the College through our short videos each week. In place of our Open Day and Information Morning we are planning to conduct a Virtual Information Morning for both campuses on Saturday 12 September this year. The Notre Dame Campus event will start at 9 am and St Paul’s will commence at 10 am. Both sessions will run for an hour, during which you will hear from our College Principal, student leaders and parents. Then there will be a virtual tour and the opportunity to participate in a Q & A with student ambassadors and College leaders.
Simply click on the link to register and we will send you the Zoom link the day prior to the event.

Dear Families and Friends
I hope you are keeping safe, warm and well during what is a challenging time for us all.
In amongst all of this our school continues to work towards an exciting and sustainable future as a co-educational Catholic school in the tradition of Blessed Edmund Rice. We are very pleased to announce that we have secured the lease for the Presentation College Windsor (PCW) site for 2021 and beyond. We will operate our reimagined school across two adjacent, historic sites with a bold master plan for major capital development in the future.
This campus compliments our Westbury St Campus which will be known as Edmund Rice Campus, after our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice. The PCW site will be named Presentation Campus, after Presentation Sisters and in recognition of Presentation College. This acquisition provides us with the opportunity to extend our subject offerings and be innovative in our use of the facilities and learning spaces to benefit students of all year levels.
Our latest newsletter Reimaginings contains more information and updates about our school and is available here:
