2017 Cardijn Exchange

I was delighted that our young were celebrating their Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist at the weekend masses with Father Dean Marin, following their participation in the Parish Initiation Program over the past 10 months.

On Tuesday 6 June, we will celebrate the Feast of St Marcellin Champagnat. Marcellin Champagnat died on this date in 1840.

A reception student misplaced his school clothes last Tuesday 23 May when getting changed into his PE Uniform before Auskick. His school uniform, including long blue pants, polo top, fleecy top and shoes, ended up in a school bag that was not his.

If anyone has noticed additional clothes around the house, please contact the school or bring them in to the Front Office.

What a fabulous time we had last week for National Simultaneous Storytime! Our students from Early Learning through to a Year 7 class enjoyed the entertaining reading of ‘The Cow Tripped Over the Moon’ by our very talented Director of Learning, Scott Dickson! Throw in some banter with PR team member Jase Scheidl and games and singing by talented reception class teacher, Katie Window and you have a recipe for fun!

Thank you to all those behind the scene helpers who made sure this event ran smoothly and to parents and caregivers who came along to enjoy the event too.

We can’t wait for next year!

Our Reception – Year 7 students had a special visit from Indigenous performer, Dion Drummond on Wednesday 31 May, as part of National Reconciliation Week. Dion is one of Australia’s most experienced Indigenous performers, covering both Mainland and Islander culture. During his visit to the College, Dion shared stories, teaching students about the different traditions of both Torres Strait Island and Aboriginal storytelling, song and dance.

The Homestay Program at Tenison Woods College is a very successful program which has been running since 2001. In that time, we have had families from Mount Gambier, Penola and Millicent who have enjoyed the experience of hosting a student from Overseas.

There will be a Whole School Casual Day on Friday 16 June, to raise money for the Breakfast Club. 

Rehearsals are becoming more intense in the lead up to the Year 12 play, In Absentia which will be performed publicly at 7.00pm, Wednesday 7 June at the Wehl Street Theatre.

Following the grief of a young family traumatised by the sudden loss of a child, these students take us on a journey back to the 70's when the stigma of mental illness was much more prevalent.

The Middle School Social Justice Leaders recently organised a lunchtime book sale. An excellent selection of books were taken from Vinnies Mount Gambier, for the students to sell at the College to some very excited students. 

Year 6 Tenison Woods College student Kai Allen has once again enjoyed a successful weekend on the Karting track.

Allen, who is also part of the College’s High Performance Sports Program, finished in third place during the third round of the ‘KA4 Junior’ category of the Australian Kart Championships, held at Monarto from the 26-28 May.
