Leaders of the Pack Program with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation

Some of our students have been involved with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation program, Leaders of the Pack. It is wonderful to witness our students being positively impacted and working on individual aspiration. Recently they completed Vision Boards and Smart goals, and have upcoming events including mentorship visits. 

VCE VM Literacy Class

Our Year 12 VCE VM Literacy classes had an incredible incursion on the 9th of May, including a "Build a Billycart" activity, as well as a Team Trivia activity and a Scavenger Hunt

The sessions encouraged students to utilise communication skills and team building initiatives to complete tasks. 

Grade Six Trivia Night

Each year we welcome students who will be starting Year 7 with us in the following year to a Trivia Night, so that they can meet and get to know the other families and students from their year level. 

This year was incredibly popular, with more than 200 people coming along! Congratulations to our winning teams, and thank you to everyone who contributed to the evening. 

Mother Day Mass and Breakfast

Each Mothers Day we mark the week before with a Mothers Day Mass and Breakfast. Beginning with a Mass where we recognise and bless the mothers and important mother figures in our community, we move into the Madeleine Centre for breakfast.

We saw more than 100 people attend this year, which is a significant increase from previous years. It's lovely to witness our most important traditions grow!

Year 9 SJ Students

The Year 9 SJ boys worked in their LM groups on a ‘crossing the river’ activity, aiming to promote collaborative decision making, problem solving and team synergy. They were provided with a small amount of equipment to use, along with a few constraints, the rest was up to them as an LM to decide how best to use the equipment. Through an exposure to failure and self-correction each group was able to build some level of success, and 9C went on to travel the furthest.

Blind Soccer Awareness Session

Some of our HPE students recently completed a session where they learned about playing soccer without being able to use their sight.  

Kool Skools Excursion

A number of our Year 9 CTK students got to experience Kook Skools, where they practiced their incredible music skills in a real recording studio. They also got to hear back their music, put it together and take professional 'band photos'.

Year 11 Reflection Day

Our reflection days have continued, with Friday 17/05 featuring our Year 11 Reflection Day.

Students heard from Father Rob Galea, who is the founder and executive director of ICON Ministry, and an acclaimed author, singer, and songwriter. 

NEST 

Our School is running OzHarvests' NEST program again this year, and as always the scent of the food they're cooking makes the rest of us hungry!
Their most recent delicious creations were a pasta bolognaise, made with extra veggies, and some seriously yummy oat chocolate chip cookies!
