We are thrilled to share the success of this year's Founder's Day! The entire school community came together for a day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a shared sense of purpose. Students and staff alike enjoyed participating in a variety of activities that made the day truly special. Some of the standout moments included the ever-popular dunk tank, where brave volunteers took the plunge for a good cause, and the high-energy bubble soccer matches that had everyone on their feet (or off them!). The lolly shop was a sweet treat for all, and the Mario Kart tournament brought out some friendly competition, with cheers echoing throughout the Theatre. But beyond the fun, Founder's Day was also about giving back. Thanks to the generosity of our College community, we raised a significant amount of money for the organisations and charities we support in Kenya. This incredible effort will make a real difference in the lives of those in need, and we couldn’t be more proud of the contributions made by our students and staff. Thank you to everyone who participated, and supported this fantastic event, with a massive thank you to the staff for facilitating and supervising the activities. Founder's Day 2024 will be remembered as a day of joy, unity, and meaningful impact. We look forward to making the next one even better!   [foogallery id="55095"]   [embed]https://youtu.be/9GNv_fiK8zw[/embed]

We congratulate all students who received awards at the Semester 1 Academic Assembly during Week 1. This year, we introduced a new format for our Awards categories, aligning them more closely with our College Values and Code for Learning. Our updated award categories are designed to reflect our College Aspiration Statement, which encourages students to embody respect, autonomy, and resilience. These traits are essential for personal growth and lifelong learning, and we believe that recognizing them through our awards program reinforces their importance. The Learner Profile, a key component of our academic environment, has been integrated into our classroom practices and is pivotal in helping students understand our expectations for their learning journey. The Profile, together with the College Values, guides students in developing contemporary learning dispositions necessary for success both in and out of the classroom. This year’s Academic Achievement Award recognizes the top 3% of students in each course based on their cumulative assessment marks for Terms 1 and 2. This accolade celebrates those who have excelled academically and demonstrated exceptional commitment to their studies. We are immensely proud of all our students and their achievements. Their dedication and hard work reflect the values we cherish and strive to instill in every learner. Congratulations once again to all our award recipients listed below   Award Recipients   [foogallery id="54385"]

This year we just snuck in before the weekend’s rain! A fantastic week of weather and a looming weekend forecast meant that a few options had to be put in place to accommodate the carnival. Fortunately, the weather held off and we were able to run the carnival in its entirety. The overnight cloud cover meant we arrived with dry grounds for the start of our day. We kicked off with the 1500 m races, followed by the 200 m races as we awaited our student arrivals. Age groups then rotated through three field events before we returned to the velodrome for the 400 m races. Age groups then returned to finish the final three rotations before we watched the 100 m finals and the relay races, as the school came together in their house groups. Highlights for the day included: The excellent behaviour and overall participation of the students in attendance. It was great to see them embrace the community spirit of the carnival and enjoy having a race and a laugh with their mates.

Boys who have been successful in making the College team will be notified in the coming weeks of their events in preparation for the CSBB Athletics Carnival in Week 7, Term 3. A big thank you must go out to all staff who helped in their varied roles to make the day a success.   [smallgallery fooid="53001"]

Years 4 and 5 Music Enrichment Program On June 4, enthusiastic Year 4 and 5 students, nominated by their Catholic primary schools, gathered at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æÒ•îl College for a memorable Music Enrichment program. This exciting event, organised by Mrs Annette Rankin and supported by talented Year 9 and 10 students from both ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æÒ•îl and St Joseph's Colleges, aimed to ignite a passion for music and performance among the young participants. Throughout the day, the students embarked on an enriching musical journey filled with diverse activities. They participated in an African drum workshop, a vocal workshop, explored innovative sounds with computer music, and learned to play and sing a group band piece, "Three Little Birds." This piece was specially arranged to accommodate all instruments and voices, ensuring that students of every skill level could join in and contribute.  The sessions were run by our Performing Arts faculty: Mrs Annette Rankin, Mrs Jodie Connor, Mr Paul Toole and Mr Justin Kane. The culmination of their hard work and creativity was showcased in a special performance for their families, highlighting the students' ensemble talents and enthusiasm. The Music Enrichment program not only provided a platform for young musicians to shine but also fostered a sense of community and collaboration across different school years and institutions. We would like to thank all staff and students involved in making this day a success. Your dedication and effort have made a lasting impact on the young musicians who participated.   [foogallery id="53348"]   [embed]https://youtu.be/HXob9MAi8k0[/embed]
