Leanne and George both did an incredible job, with Leanne coming 6th in her age group, and George managing to complete the full race even while unwell.

ACU Step Up Program
Congratulations to all our students who recently finished and graduated the ACU Step Up Program!
Introba Work Experience
Some of our students completed work experience with Introba over the school holidays.
Below is a reflection from Mandy Nguyen about her time there.
The work experience hosted by Introba, in collaboration with Engineering Australia, gave us the opportunity to be engineers for a week and experience the working lifestyle. 7 of us had the chance to represent Caroline Chisholm Catholic College and work with 4 other schools on this project. We were given a project brief to design the layout of a block of land given to us with set requirements we had to fulfil. There were 6 teams, 5 allocated to designing a building on the land and one acting as town planner. I was one of the town planners which allowed me to explore all the different types of engineering and work on my leadership, communication and organisation skills. Additionally, Introba had organised expert engineers in various fields to teach us a little about their work and what they contribute to the community. We also had the opportunity to use 3D printers which were supplied by one of Introba's sponsors, allowing us to bring the designs to life. After we completed the designs and brief, we presented it to the Introba team, engineer guest speakers and other guests allowing us to show off our final designs. This was a great experience to gain insight into the engineering work field, develop my skills and meet new people. I'd suggest this program to anyone interested in engineering or to those who want to gain insight into the working lifestyle.
Year 12 Visual Communication Design Class
We love having our Alumni back to our school, and recently we were thrilled to welcome back Cindy Nguyen and Ana Diaz from the class of 2017, who ran a workshop in our Year 12 Visual Communication Design Class. These industry professionals brought their real-world expertise into the classroom, helping students develop and refine their concepts through hands-on learning. They worked with our students on brand strategy, typography and app design.
It was a real full circle moment, having these talented individuals run workshops in the same space where they once spent their time learning seven years ago!
Year 7 and 8 Lacrosse Tournament
Our Year 7 and 8 Lacrosse teams completed in the recent School Sport Victoria Lacrosse Tournament. While we may not have come home with a trophy, it was an incredible day, with our three teams performing exceptionally well, and it was a wonderful example of teamwork and sportsmanlike behaviour.
Nallei Jerring Leadership Program
The Western Bulldogs’ Nallei-Jerring program provides support to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait islander young people, by providing opportunities through the Western Bulldogs as a way of encouraging leadership. Over six sessions with other Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander participants, students are provided with a range of life, cultural and sport experiences in which to learn and develop. These include cultural games, connecting with culture, meeting Bulldogs players who share their inspirational stories and yarning circles.
Conducted at the newly refurbished Whitten oval facilities, students have engaged in a range of opportunities. The purpose of the program is to enhance the cultural knowledge of those involved and develop skills in leadership, teamwork, resilience and communication.
Two students from our College are participating in this year’s program.
Western Bulldogs Community Foundation
Our students had an amazing time engaging and learning from Western Bulldogs’ AFL Player, Tom Liberatore, at our most recent excursion to the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation Leadership Program. It was very engaging, and our students asked some great questions.
It was also wonderful having our students connect to these community programs as ways to build positive relationship and connections with peers outside their normal classroom, plus enable community connections with the mentors and organisations involved.
Year 9 MAV Mathematics Games Day
Some of our Year 9s had an exciting day earlier this week, visiting St Albans Secondary College for the MAV Mathematics Games Day!
Congratulations to our students who participated!
Medieval Incursion for the Year 8s
Our Year 8 students across both campuses recently completed an incredible Medieval Incursion, where they got to dress up, try on armour, and discover some medieval war techniques!
