MACS Silver Rerum Rovarum Award
A big congratulations to our students involved in the MACS Rerum Rovarum awards, who won Silver!
The Rerum Rovarum Awards are an opportunity for students to complete social justice projects within the school, aiming to create change.
Our students identified that we could improve the biodiversity of our College campuses, and so created garden beds with that aim.
Here is an excerpt from their winning report:
"The committee began by researching plants and found that planting Indigenous plants is one of the most sustainable ways to restore the biodiversity of an area (Australian Plants Society). Indigenous plants attract local wildlife, including bees and butterflies, thereby supporting local ecosystems. Additionally, as Indigenous plants are already well adapted to the local climate, Indigenous plants require limited watering thus contributing to the sustainable use of water.
The plants were purchased from Newport Lakes Nursery, a local nursery specialising in Indigenous plants. A variety of wildflowers were chosen to make the garden beds enticing for the community."
Well done to Minh Trinh, Emmanuel Salvana, Noel Mathew Paluvelil, Leon Lieu, Sajal Ram, Don Amala and Kapish Ramsahaye!
Year 12 Celebration Day
The Year 12 Celebration Day is looked forward to by all our graduating students, as they let off some steam in Karaoke, dress up, and share some final time together as a whole cohort before the more formal events of the following day.
The costumes were fabulous, the singing was amazing, and everyone had great time!
Year 12 Graduation Assembly and Mass
To conclude the celebratory element of our Year 12s finishing their formal schooling with us, we hold a Graduation Assembly and Mass, recognising all the students and blessing them as they continue with their journeys outside the walls of our College. Congratulations to all our incredible students who we farewelled for a final time later that evening at the Valedictory dinner.
We wish you all the best as you move forward, and look forward to seeing you for alumni events in the future!
All Soul's Mass
The 6th of November saw Caroline Chisholm Catholic College marking All Soul's Day with a mass. As a Catholic College, the rituals and liturgical calendar events are an important part of our school life, and it was wonderful to see a number of staff and students attend our first All Soul's Day mass.
Christmas Tree going up and MacKillop Christmas Appeal
We have officially launched our annual MacKillop Christmas Appeal!
While we know it may feel too early to start celebrating the festive season, with final day of term on the 6th of December, we wanted to give as many people the chance to contribute as possible. With that in mind, last week we put up and decorated Christmas trees at both sites, ready for your donations!
We will also have a number of fundraising events up until the 26th of November. You can donate online here: https://www.mackillop.org.au/g...
