23.01.2022 We encourage you to complete the youth food poverty research survey. It is the first survey of its kind in Central Victoria, to hear from young people aged 16-24 about the barriers to accessing food relief - so they can respond directly to their needs in future projects. Bendigo Foodshare is one of the local projects supported by students and staff at CMC, through awareness raising, fundraising and donations. It is great to see current and past students taking part in this video. Take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YouFoods #cmcBendigo #cmcJustice #cmcCommunity

23.01.2022 CMC are proud to serve our community by supporting the great work of Bendigo Foodshare. Our food drive, led by our Year 10 Virtues students, has encouraged our College community to donate staple food items and inspired one of our Virtues classes to make Christmas cakes, gingerbreads and rum balls to donate. All goods have been delivered to the wonderful volunteers at Bendigo Foodshare 200 kg of staples as well as the gift treats. Thank you to everyone for their generosity and support. #cmcBendigo #cmcCommunity #cmcYear10

18.01.2022 Key Transition Steps to Year 7, 2021 There are five key steps which allow us to best prepare for each child’s start at CMC. Our intention is to obtain as much information as possible, in partnership with our families, about their child’s learning and social needs before commencement. Transition Meetings are the first step and families were sent booking information via email yesterday. http://bit.ly/cmcTransitionSteps #cmcBendigo #cmcTransition #cmc2021Year7

16.01.2022 At the end of Term 3 we always celebrate Mercy Day. Despite the challenges of 2020, we were determined to mark this event, significant to both our College and the global Mercy community. We couldn’t do everything we normally do, but we could dress up in our house colours and costumes. Thanks everyone who has shared a photo so far keep them coming. There will be a second cut of the Colours of Mercy Day video. Upload info in SIMON. #cmcBendigo #cmcMercyDay #cmcCommunity #cmc2020

15.01.2022 iGEN students have been meeting (virtually) with the residents at Bethlehem each week. The residents have put in a few requests and the students are now at work on clips, including virtual tours of local landmarks and images of the outdoors and new developments in the city. #cmcBendigo #cmcYear10 #cmciGEN

14.01.2022 On Mercy Day, 7C2 were amazing in their response to the ‘Call to Action’. They were invited to contribute further in our Mercy world, so they wrote letters to residents of Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged. Some residents have been isolated for several weeks and we know the letters and contact will be very welcome. #cmcBendigo #cmcMercyDay2020 #cmcFaithandMission #cmcCommunity

07.01.2022 Students enthusiastically joined in the netball activities at the beginning of term after months with no netball. Once a week, there was a practice game to give players a chance to get back on the court to play and, on a separate day, there was a skills session for students of all abilities to learn new skills from experienced netballers. Sadly these have ceased since the return to remote learning, but stay active at home. Read on to hear about the new Virtual Activities, which are updated daily. #cmcBendigo #cmcSport #cmcCoCurricular https://www.cmc.vic.edu.au/staying-active-from-sport-at-sc/

05.01.2022 Have you ever wondered about the plaque and rock at the front of Coolock? It is of great significance for tomorrow. On 15 August 1945, after more than three years of war in the region, the Japanese accepted the Allied Nation’s terms of surrender and the Prime Minister, Ben Chifley announced that the war was over. 50 years on, at Catholic College Bendigo (as it was known then), students used History Week to better understand the events leading up to Victory in the Pacific (VP...). The week culminated in a solemn ceremony at Junortoun on 15 August 1995. Students planned and helped build a Peace Garden which surrounded a plaque commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Peace in the Pacific. A time capsule was buried near the plaque and was intended to be opened on the 75th Anniversary in 2020. Unfortunately, the 75th Anniversary of VP Day in 2020 is marred by the restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has become necessary to delay the unearthing and opening of the time capsule to a time when our students can be present. A national service will be broadcast live across Australia by the ABC and streamed online from 10am on Saturday 15 August. #cmcBendigo #cmcCommunity #cmcHistory #VPDay2020 https://www.cmc.vic.edu.au/vp-day-remembered-at-cmc/

05.01.2022 Mercy Day tomorrow. Don't forget to dress in house colours or costumes. Even though we are celebrating virtually, we will bring you together in the House Colours video if you send a photo. Your Learning Mentor will send the link to participate in the Liturgy and Call to Action. #cmcBendigo #cmcMercyDay #cmcCommunity #cmcHouses

04.01.2022 Happy Fathers’ Day. Today we celebrate all the fathers in our community. We honour the inspiration and nurturing you provide, especially in these difficult times. We hope that you have found new ways to enjoy Fathers’ Day together even if you were forced to be apart. Thank you for everything you do. #cmcBendigo #cmcCommunity #FathersDay2020

01.01.2022 GIVE & HELP OTHERS Your time, your words, your presence...take the chance to "Pay it Forward" and "Give thanks" throughout this week. Scientific studies show that helping others boosts happiness, increases life satisfaction, provides a sense of meaning, increases feelings of competence and improves our mood and reduces stress. Even the smallest act can count, whether it's a smile, a "thank you" or a kind word. Larger acts, such as volunteering in your local community or contr...ibuting to global causes can also make a difference to the life of others and your own. More ideas for paying it forward and random acts of kindness: http://bit.ly/cmcPaying_it_forward | 5 ways to wellbeing across 5 weeks | #cmcGive #5waystowellbeing #cmcWellbeing #cmcCommunity See more
