25.01.2022 We remember with thanks, those who made the supreme sacrifice for us in times of war. We pray that their offering of their lives may not have been in vain. May your grace enable us this day to dedicate ourselves to the cause of justice, freedom and peace; and give us the wisdom and strength to build a better world. The Last Post and Rouse was played by Ethan Nankivell (Year 10).

21.01.2022 On Tuesday our Year 7s participated in a Footy match against Bunbury Catholic College. As the ACC Carnival was cancelled due to COVID restrictions, the students welcomed the idea of having a friendly off-campus against their mates at Bunbury Catholic College. The students looked great in the new blue College Sports Uniforms. Even though it was a wet and windy day, they had a great time and showed respect and sportsmanship on and off the field. Thank you to Sport and Rec Certificate students Sam Roberts and Dom Celisano for their umpiring efforts and to the PE staff and Mr Cameron Embry for their assistance in the organisation of the day.
