Little Athletes, Big Day in the Sun

Lent and our Ecology – Awareness is great. Action is better!

Our community is developing a range of communal actions during the Lenten season to bring about change in our world.  Fundraising throughout the six weeks of Lent will contribute to Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion Campaign “For a Just Future.” 

Lent 2018

Through Lent we’re asking for your help to raise money through Project Compassion. By doing so, your donation can help communities around Australia and the world.

With the support of Caritas Australia, proud young Ramingining woman Evangeline has risen to the role of Senior Artsworker at Djilpin Arts Aboriginal Corporation...

Do you know an Old Scholar or former member of the College community who has gone on to do great things?

Each week we will be sharing with the community, a recipe from the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.

This week, some Year 7 students prepared and cooked Homemade Ratatouille in their Stephanie Alexander kitchen cooking class.

Recently retired Poplars Manger, Gill Clayfield, is collecting used clean underwear, summer clothing and small toys for a poor Cambodian Village. Underwear is a luxury that many in Cambodia cannot afford. Rather than discard outgrown underwear, why not donate to those who really need it...
