23.01.2022 Each year our College collects items for our local St Vincent De Paul Conference who make up Hampers so that locals in need can enjoy a wonderful Christmas Dinner. And Chisholm has always responded generously. This year, Covid is interrupting how we usually donate. Finishing on 27 November, we are collecting money to give to our local SVDP conference so that they can provide Christmas Lunch or Dinner to those who need it. Each House has the challenge to collect money to prov...ide Christmas lunch or dinner. If each House raised $300 that is, $2 per student then this goal will easily be achieved. This will be the final House Challenge for the year and the House that collects the most money will win the challenge. Thank you for supporting this Appeal. See more

08.01.2022 Our Sustainability Garden, which was made possible by an EnviroGrant from the Logan City Council, has produced its first harvest. In the last week, we have harvested lettuce, squash and beetroot the result of the hard work of our students and staff.

06.01.2022 With this very hot weather, it has been important to keep up the water to the vegetables growing in our Sustainability Garden. The arrival of summer brings rapid growth for our vegetables, but with warmer days and settled weather comes the inevitable pressure to keep plants hydrated and happy. If you're not careful, hot, sunny weather can make you a slave to the watering can - so it's time to get water wise in the garden! Here are some water-wise tips from our garden to your ...own garden at home: How you water is important. Apply water as close to the roots as you can, and try to avoid wetting the foliage, which is wasteful and can promote disease. A watering can will help you to get in among the foliage, and while you're doing so you can inspect your plants. Never water in the middle the day when most of the moisture applied will quickly evaporate. Sometimes the soil surface looks dry when, just beneath, there's plenty of moisture. Check by digging a hole to see how dry the ground really is. If it's moist where the roots are, leave watering to another day. Known as mulching, adding a layer of organic matter onto the soil surface can dramatically slow evaporation from the ground. Suitable mulches include Sugar cane mulch and garden-made compost, topped up as necessary during the course of the growing season. The best results come from repeatedly applying organic matter such as compost over a number of years. All that organic matter works to gradually improve your soil's structure and its ability to hold moisture, ultimately ensuring the health and vigour of your plants. Feeding your soil with lots of organic matter makes such a big difference to its moisture-holding ability, while watering exactly where it's needed, when it's needed, will save a lot of time - and water! Our Sustainability Garden was made possible from an EnviroGrant provided by Logan City Council. See more

04.01.2022 Griffith are hosting an online event called ‘Frequently unasked questions Live.’ This is a great opportunity for our Senior students to hear directly from current Griffith students in an interactive forum.

03.01.2022 On Friday, our College Family said goodbye to the graduating Year 12s of 2020. Our first ever Year 7 cohort, and the first to take up the challenge of the new senior system, they have been shining lights at Chisholm for the past six years. Through their commendable work ethic and generosity of spirit, they have contributed immensely to our College. We are grateful that they were able to share in their graduation with parents and siblings before walking the guard of honour, formed by College staff and students. Although Graduation Day is always a little bit sad, we are full of joy having seen them become terrific young men and women, ready to go out and serve the world. Congratulations class of 2020!

01.01.2022 The Advent season is a four week period before Christmas that celebrates the anticipation and coming of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. The origin of "advent" is from the Latin word adventus which simply translates "coming" or "arrival". Not only is the Christian meaning for preparation and celebration of the coming of Jesus Christ, his birth at Christmas, but also to celebrate the new life when someone accepts Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and lastly, the anticipation of Jesus r...eturning again. The four Sundays of Advent each have a specific theme or focus. The purpose of each theme is to spend time reflecting on the true meaning of the season - the life of Jesus Christ. A tradition in the lead up to Christmas is to have an Advent wreath. Three candles are purple and one is rose or pink. The first candle represents hope. ... The pink candle, generally lit on the third Sunday of Advent, represents joy. The fourth candle signifies love. Some Advent wreaths include a fifth white candle signifying "Christ" which is lit at Christmas. Yesterday, the first candle of Advent was lit in Churches around the world. See more
