25.01.2022 Well done to Waterford Maali House for winning the Term Three House Competition- back to back Terms!!!

24.01.2022 Today the Year 12 students commenced their Retreat Week with a Reflection morning at the beautiful St Mary's Cathedral. The students started the morning with a visit to the historic, first Cathedral of Perth-the Pro Cathedral and then walked up the hill to the present-day Cathedral where they were given an exclusive performance in the Choir loft by the Musical Director of the Cathedral. Students then took part in a tour of the Cathedral and completed Graduation reflection activities, focusing on 'Legacy', with the morning concluding with a Prayer liturgy. A wonderful way to commence a memorable week for the Graduating Class!

21.01.2022 Day 2 of R U OKAY week!! A banner was created, as a College Community to form a pledge to always ask a friend or family member if they are ok?

21.01.2022 The weather was perfect for the inaugural Clontarf Conservation Crew event yesterday afternoon. 25 students, accompanied by 5 staff as well as Reed, Micheline and Sam from the City of South Perth cleaned an adjacent area to the College that will serve as the perfect Bush Tucker garden. All were determined to clear the suffocated area of weeds and overgrown vegetation and plants. The Year 7, 8 and 9 students in the Conservation Crew were full of determination and zest as they could slowly see all their efforts come to fruition. The area looks fresh and ready for the next phase, which involves mulching and planting. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm the group had, investing their time and energy into a future learning area. Congratulations to the wonderful efforts and.....we're only getting started!

12.01.2022 A snapshot of the absolutely amazing three days of Year 12 Retreat on Noongar country in the South-West of W.A., at Roelands Village! The students fully grasped the opportunity to learn more about Noongar culture, the Stolen Generations and Reconciliation and further explored the idea of Faith and Spirituality; participating in a variety of activities, all whilst continuing to develop close connections with each other, creating lifelong memories, as they prepare to graduate. It was a magnificent Retreat Week for the students, building on the Year 12 Reflection Day from Tuesday!!!

07.01.2022 A lovely Advent Liturgy in our beautiful Chapel this morning. An opportunity for students and staff to give thanks for the year of many learning opportunities and to reflect on all the positives of 2020. Advent, the time of preparation before Christmas, is a season of hope and waiting and the Advent Wreath is one of the important symbols for the season. Each week of Advent a candle from the wreath is lit, with the first being the purple candle of Hope, this was lit today by ATA, Jaymea. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus, and so there was a very special, delicious, birthday cake, to celebrate Jesus' birthday, enjoyed for morning tea by students, staff and visitors!

07.01.2022 The Year 7 and 8 female students attended a Discovery Day at the The University of Western Australia today. They participated in a range of hands-on activities in Zoology, Sports Science and Engineers Without Borders. Our students also met current Indigenous university students and staff from The School of Indigenous Studies, named Bilya Marlee (river of the swan). The students discovered there are so many cool things to study at university and so much assistance available if they wish to pursue further study once they complete their secondary education.

06.01.2022 Happy Birthday, from everyone at the College, to all our students and staff celebrating their birthdays during the month of September!

06.01.2022 - - This is the start of the new Liturgical Year. Advent is the season leading up to Christmas, a season of hope and preparation.
