Founders Week and Charity Day Celebrations

This week, we take the opportunity to reflect on our founders; St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Venerable Catherine McAuley, Fr Julian Tenison Woods and St Marcellin Champagnat. We recognise the contribution they made to our College and our community. We also celebrate the way in which we can follow in their footsteps of faith, action and community in a way that brings life to our school, parish and local community.

Today, students in Champagnat and Woods came together for a shared recess (Champagnat) and lunch (Woods) in the Multi-purpose room at the College. We are appreciating student participation in events this week and look forward to the Whole School Mass to be held on Thursday 14 June at 9.00am in the Barrie Holmes Stadium. I welcome parents/carers and family members to join us for the Mass...
