On 7 June, a group of students volunteered for the Soup Van Program run by St. Vincent De Paul Society, as part of our Year 11/12 Catholic Action Program (CAP) class.
Vinnies Soup Vans have been running for over 50 years supporting people who are experiencing homelessness.

On Saturday 1 June, a group of four Year 10 students attended the Women in STEM and Entrepreneurship (WISE) Program at Monash University – a workshop designed to nurture an entrepreneurial mindset in the next generation of women.
The basis of the day was to create our own entrepreneurial idea, which we then planned out and pitched to the attendees.

Every year the Learning Commons hosts its own celebration timed to coincide with Library Information Week and Melbourne’s own Knowledge Week.
This year’s theme of truth, integrity and knowledge (TIK) focused on how students are supported in these ideals as they learn in the classroom independently and when visiting the Learning Commons.
Chilly winds and soaking rain mark the end of our mild and delightful autumn days. But here at the College, these mid-term days are defined rather by a hectic array of student activity, energy and excitement, from STEAM Cup rounds to Knowledge Week debates; from SCSA training sessions to morning fitness exercises; from Production rehearsals to NAPLAN; from Careers interviews to High Tea; from Personal Project to VCE Dance/Drama Performances; Soup Van volunteers to Year 9 Adventure Camp; from a State Library visit to Reconciliation Week activities…..lot’s happening!
I wish to congratulate students, staff and families for the positive support and endorsement of our new approach to mobile phone usage within the school day.
