The past week has again been a productive one for our community with respect to opportunities for growth in a range of activities that support Faith, Wellbeing and Learning. Our Year 11 Investigating Science and Biology students participated in excursions to Penrith Lakes on Wednesday and Thursday, to take part in valuable “Ecosystem Dynamics” practical activities that support the everyday learning that takes place in the classroom. Thursday also saw Our Year 9 students participate in the MISA Youth of the Year Public Speaking competition and our Indigenous students participate in the Bangawarra Junior Cultural day, which allowed the opportunity for students to engage in a range of Cultural and educational experiences with their peers from schools across the Diocese. Earlier today our Year 10 students took part in their annual Encounter Day, which had presentations on our Marist and Carmelite traditions, Together for Humanity and Catholic Missions. Thanks to all staff and students for their preparation, supervision and participation in these events.

Next week we again see a range of initiatives aimed at further enhancing the Faith, learning and Wellbeing of our students. These include:

• Father’s Day Breakfast before school on Monday morning
• HSC Major Works Exhibition Tuesday at 6.30pm
• Year 12 Academic Reports due on Tuesday
• 2025 SRC Induction Day - all day Wednesday
• Years 7-10 Semester 1 Academic Assembly Thursday
• Year 7 Encounter Day - Friday

Thanks to all staff and students involved in these upcoming events for their organisation and participation.

Please be reminded that as the weather commences to warm up, so does the impact of UV radiation. Students are reminded that College caps are to be worn at all times in outdoor areas, particularly at Recess, Lunchtime, during Sport and Practical PDHPE lessons conducted outdoors. Thanks for your ongoing support with all matters relating to Learning and Wellbeing. As always, please contact your son or daughter’s respective Year Coordinator or Pastoral Advisor should you have any questions or concerns.
