It was wonderful to welcome students and Dads to our recent Father’s Day Mass and Breakfast and to celebrate the special contribution our Dads make to the College, their families and the community. Thank you to Fr Binh and Fr Healy on leading the celebrations of Mass with us. Well done to our students and families who supported the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal, through donations of food and warm clothing, in assisting the needy of our region.

Congratulations to our musicians, singers and dancers on their marvellous contribution to an evening of outstanding performances in the annual Musical Showcase. Well done to our champion Senior girls Lacrosse team, to students and staff who attended the very successful Ski Camp at Mt Buller and to our Debating Victoria (DAV) Awardees, Luke Martin and Tess Meiers. Best of luck to our Year 12 St Paul’s team who have progressed through the first week of DAV finals
