Dear parents and students 

Blessing & Opening of STEM Block

This Wednesday 4 December is a special day in the history of Mount Carmel Catholic College as we celebrate the blessing and opening of our new STEM block. Leading the ceremony will be Bishop Brian along with many local, state and federal members of parliament, dignitaries from the Catholic Education Office of Wollongong and the Capital Block Grant.

As a Christ centred community that focuses on opportunities for excellence for all students, our opening and blessing ceremony provides both these things – an opportunity to connect and celebrate our values and rituals as a Catholic community through the blessing ceremony and an opportunity for students to strive for excellence in STEM with the official opening of the facilities.

Most importantly the people who will be using these facilities every day, our staff and students, play an important part in being present and engaging in this special day.

Students are therefore asked to be:

• In attendance on the day (as per any other day)
• Punctual and arrive at school on time ready for pastoral time at 8:45am
• Wearing their full summer school uniform on the day
• Attentive to all grooming expectations

PDHPE and sport uniform should be brought separately and changed into after the ceremony if required. 

A more detailed outline of the morning will be shared with students on Monday, so students are aware in advance in changes of bell times and lessons.

Stay safe, go gently, take care.

Ms Samantha Giles
