25.01.2022 Aranmore paid our respects to the traditional owners of the land at the annual Welcome to Country & Smoking Ceremony earlier this week. Student leaders, staff and community supporters of the College joined families from the Aboriginal Student Program as Elders of the Whadjuk Nyoongar people asked the deceased spirits to cleanse and watch over our community as we start a new school year together.

25.01.2022 The Addams Family has opened to rave reviews! Well done to everyone involved. (Limited tickets currently available at the door for Sat 1pm matinee but all other shows have sold out).

25.01.2022 I took a group of very keen and eager Yr 7/8s to Kingsway Christian College to compete in a 9-round fixtured comp for NWAS Netball yesterday. Playing 9 Rounds in one-day is pretty much unheard of and so the team had a long haul ahead of them. Admittedly many of them would tell you that netball is NOT their first sport but that didnt stop them! The girls had a tough start against a very tall and very strong JSR team, but they never gave in! Once we got a handle on the fo...otwork rules, the loose passes, and the heads in the right direction the girls became a force! The rest of the day saw the girls achieve 5 wins and 3 losses with a welcomed BYE around lunch! No matter what position I asked them to play, they all chipped in and gave it their best and they ultimately surprised themselves most often. Steep learning curves for many, whilst being supported by each other. Sportsmanship, attitudes and efforts were all brilliant - Well Done, girls! A great day for Aranmore! - Mrs Cherie Farnan (Specialist Netball Program Coordinator) #LearnMoreAtAranmore #GirlsInSports #AranmoreNetball See more

24.01.2022 Join us in a salute to our wonderful students and their numerous achievements in 2020!

24.01.2022 Today is Aranmore's Year 10 Christian Service Day...and what a perfect way for students to use our new kitchen for the first time then by cooking meals for the homeless. #LearnMoreAtAranmore #CatholicEdWA

24.01.2022 Parents from the Intensive English Centre (IEC) accepted Mrs Postmus invitation to visit the College for morning tea. Not only did the mums and dads bring delicious food to share but the dads happily showed off their dish-washing skills and washed up afterwards.

24.01.2022 Behind every great Science teacher is an equally impressive Lab Technician. Mr Daniel Stanes is Aranmore's awesome Lab Tech. During Science Technician Appreciation & Recognition (STAR) Week, Id like to recognise and thank Mr Stanes for the professional support and invaluable knowledge he contributes to Aranmore. From building Solar Systems to repairing skeletons, not to mention the buckets of slime he makes for Founders' Day, Mr Stanes goes above and beyond to support practi...cal science at the College. Mr Stanes talents and expertise are not limited to the Science Dept; he also supports both the IT Dept and the Library. So if you see Mr Stanes, please thank him for the outstanding work he does behind the scenes to make science fun and an engaging learning experience. - Mrs Geoghegan, HoLA (Science) #LearnMoreAtAranmore #STARweek20 #CatholicEdWA See more

24.01.2022 Students from our Specialist Music Program had Aranmore Primary students bobbing away to musical renditions ranging from the Avengers theme song to Incy Wincy Spider yesterday.

23.01.2022 IEC 4 were very luck to have Sr Gabriel visit and answer their questions on her life as a Nun.

Thank you Sr Gabriel for blessing us with your time and enthusiasm! #CatholicEdWA #LearnMoreAtAranmore #IntensiveEnglishCentre

23.01.2022 NWAS Year 7/8 Boys Soccer PREMIERS! Going up against some tough soccer teams in the NWAS One-Day Carnival, the boys managed to stay undefeated throughout the competition and did not concede one single goal against, whilst scoring 38 goals in 6 games. What an outstanding effort: ARANMORE PREMIERS YEAR 7/8 (finally a win for this soccer coach)!

20.01.2022 Year 7s have been busy this term in Design & Technology making book and folder holders; a handy storage piece for their study desk!

19.01.2022 The last activity for RE Week was the Year 8 Religious Icon Scavenger Hunt where students competed in groups to find religious icons around the College.

17.01.2022 How does an author create a memorable picture book? Our budding Year 8 writers discovered this and more at the English incursion workshop for young writers by The Literature Centre.

16.01.2022 'More for a Cause': Each day this week as part of RE Week activities, Year 9 students raised awareness of different charities and movements that were near and dear to them during lunchtime by inviting their peers to visit their stand and be informed about how they could help make the world a better place to be. Pictured are students supporting and advocating for the Black Lives Matter movement. "Our Earth needs constant concern and attention. ... Each of us has a personal responsibility to care for creation, this precious gift which God has entrusted to us." Pope Francis Nov 28, 2014 - Mr Luke Halden #LearnMoreAtAranmore #BlackLivesMatter

16.01.2022 Happy Founders' Day! Today (September 24) is also the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy, which is held dear by the Sisters of Mercy as it is on this day in 1827 that Catherine McAuley opened the first House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin, Ireland. Enjoy the fun and festivities today, and happy holidays when they start! With blessings of mercy - Sr Emma (Head of Ministry) [When you see Sr Emma and Sr Janina today, please don't forget to wish our special Sisters a happy feast day.]

09.01.2022 Hello from Dryandra: This image is of one of the two Woylies we caught. They were both already tagged. This was unexpected as they were tagged over half a kilometre away and they don't usually travel that far. One of them had one of their ear tags missing so Brian replaced it. It is just like getting your ears pierced. - Mrs Geoghegan (Photo credit: Mrs Geoghegan)
