Kewell visits Our School

This week we join with other Catholic school communities internationally who share our Marist tradition, by celebrating Champagnat Week and particularly Champagnat Day, which we celebrated on Tuesday 6 June.

In 2018 there will be a Synod of Bishops in Rome on ‘Youth, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment’. Pope Francis has asked that the voices of young people be evident in the Synod conversations and so every diocese throughout the world has been asked to provide information about their young people.

Tension Woods College students and guests were the ‘Rainbow in Someone Else’s Cloud’ on Friday 2 June when they purchased a ticket to support the 2017 Charity Ball. All proceeds from the event will be distributed to the Timor-Leste communities visited by students in this year’s immersion trip.

Good luck to our year 6 & 7 students representing the College in the Lower South East SAPSASA netball and football teams in Adelaide this week. 

Friends of Tenison Woods College; past scholars since the inception of Marist Agricultural College or the Convent of Mercy, parents of former scholars, past staff members, past volunteers, in fact anyone who is proud to be or have been associated with Catholic education in the Mount Gambier; are invited to our Shining Light Awards on Saturday 14 October, 2017. More details to follow, including information on how to purchase tickets, but for now lock this date in your diary, let your old school friends know and get along – you won’t be disappointed!

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.

The biannual trip to Italy has been scheduled for 27 September – 20 October 2018 (although these dates may change slightly). This is an exciting opportunity for students at Tenison Woods College and Grant High School currently in Years 9 and 10 and adults who wish to accompany the group.

In April this year, I embarked on one of the most eye-opening trips I think I will ever have. Accompanied by Cosi from ‘South Aussie with Cosi’ and 40 other hardworking Australians from across the country, I travelled to Cambodia to do charity work. 

A strong contingent of Tenison Woods College students took part in this year’s SAPSASA Cross Country at Oakbank in Adelaide on Thursday 1 June.

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.

The Sugarloaf Café is inviting parents to meet at the café to catch up over a coffee and their culinary delights. Come and try the café once you have dropped off your children in the morning or call in before you collect children at the end of the day. With a special area dedicated to adults, it’s a great place to catch your breath, take a moment for yourself and meet other parents who enjoy great coffee!
