25.01.2022 The message of our Wellbeing Week Listening Liturgy is challenging in its contradiction: Blessed are the poor in spirit. It is in moments of crisis, when our external security collapses, that we are forced to assess where we derive our fulfilment from. Can periods of suffering, where we invert our gaze within, actually be viewed as ‘blessings’ in distressing disguise?

24.01.2022 Our annual St Vincent de Paul Christmas appeal is underway, and we are seeking gift donations for our local Footscray region branch. St Bernard’s has long supported this cause, where families donate gifts that will be handed out to those who need it at the annual St Vincent de Paul Christmas lunch, to be held in early December in a Covid Safe way. Simply drop off your gift at the Front Office no later than Wed 25th November, 3pm. We appreciate this year has been a challenging... one. St Vincent suggested up to $20 if you can. Please see a guide below for recommended age groups to assist you. Vinnie's has asked that if gifts are wrapped and write what the gift is/who it's for on the outside.

23.01.2022 Our College ERA for Change Group brainstorming ideas & ways they can support the community during lockdown. Great Work Team!

22.01.2022 Good Afternoon Everyone! Today is R U OK Day, some great information below about how to check in on your loved ones & further the conversation if they do need help. Lets keep looking out for each other, especially during this trying time

22.01.2022 On this Second Sunday of the Season of Creation, we are invited to crush our calculators, go further than we think possible and match the Master’s compassion by loving without limit.

22.01.2022 Dr Michael Davies brings us a video address from inside the Chapel, with the help of the Student Council for 2021!

20.01.2022 Another great week at the College - So much going on!

19.01.2022 The word respect literally translates to ‘look again’. Our Gospel this Sunday reminds the disciples that he is found where they haven’t been looking in the homeless, rejected, outcast and outsiders. So, in the lead up to Christmas, we’re told to ‘look again’ for the birth of the Christ in our world. Christ could be anywhere, because Christ is everywhere.

19.01.2022 Jack Ricarrdi, Lachlan Sholl & Nathan Williams - Great photo taken before last nights game! We are very proud of you all! SBC Represent!

17.01.2022 Roadmap to Summer Ok, let’s do a recap! We will have level 4 for an extra two weeks. But, there are changes from next Sunday to our level 4 restrictions. ... *The curfew is extended until 9 pm and with days getting longer that is great. *People who live alone will be able to have a bubble buddy! The 5k rule won’t apply for bubble buddies but the 9pm curfew still will apply. *Playgrounds will also open. *Exercise will also be extended to 2 hours per day. * Public outdoor gatherings of two people will be allowed or a household for up to two hours. Then after September 28th, based on cases hopefully being between 30-50 cases a day there will be more changes. *Public gatherings increased to five people. *5k radius still applies *There will be a phased return of some workforces and education. That will include prep, grade one, grade two, year 11 and 12, and year 10 for the purposes of their VCE or VCAL studies. * Childcare centres will reopen, as well as more workplaces which totals about 110,000 people going back to work. From October 26, "step three" of the roadmap will start This would commence as long as our average daily number is less than 5 new cases. *Curfew in metropolitan Melbourne will be lifted. *5k radius is lifted *Restrictions on reasons or distances travelled will also be lifted. *Public gatherings will increase to 10 people outdoors, we will be allowed to have visitors at home up to five visitors from another nominated household. *Retail and hairdressing, as well as restaurants, cafes and pubs will be able to resume service from October 26. For hospitality businesses that will mainly be service that is outside. That’s pretty much it for now, we have our map! Let’s find our way to a great Summer together!

16.01.2022 This year, perhaps more than any other, has demonstrated the truth of today’s Good News: We do not know the day or the hour. Today we remember that our role in Life is not that of timekeeper, but of attendant patiently waiting and remaining ready to serve when called.

15.01.2022 On our Third Sunday of the Season of Creation, the parable of the vineyard workers reminds us that Creation is not a ‘quid-pro-quo’ kingdom. In the natural world, there is no equivalence between how much one gives and how much they get. Life does not conform to what the capitalist mind deems ‘fair’. Life is not ‘earned’ or ‘deserved’but gifted. When we wake up and value this unearned gift of existence, we can pay it forward and share it with every living thing.

15.01.2022 Thank you everyone for your donations!

14.01.2022 For our last two weeks of Term the SBC Identity Team will be taking over the Listening Liturgies Podcast!

12.01.2022 A massive THANK YOU! for the multitude of donations we've received for the St Vinnies Christmas Appeal - Each & Everyone one of these gift's makes a massive difference to someone's Christmas

11.01.2022 As we approach the season of Advent, today’s Listening Liturgy is a timely reminder that we should not be too concerned with ‘waiting’. If we are the servant that is focussed on the future arrival of ‘The Master’, we find ourselves paralysed and unprepared. But if we get busy investing, working and giving what we have NOW, we may be the servants that profit tenfold.

11.01.2022 Dr Michael Davies delivers his final term address with some special guests & a call to action for our Old Collegians !

10.01.2022 Good Afternoon Everyone, Just a reminder that the SBOCA Kick 2 Kick Zoom event is this Friday - Come catch up with some Old Collegians doing us proud in the AFL!

08.01.2022 We have a genuinely exceptional employer looking to put on a first year cabinet-maker. Old Collegian, local, quality work. In over 15 years at SBC he is one of the very best employers David has come across. He has high expectations of his workforce, but he creates a really positive work culture.... Sometimes I find those considering an apprenticeship are just focused on a particular trade. Sometimes, they should be looking for the right employer. Please contact David Rosel urgently if you want more details - 9289 1159 / [email protected]

07.01.2022 Good Evening Everyone! Check out our fanastic VCE 2020 Music Concert - Massive thank-you to our Music Department for organsing this & to our Students who made it happen! Great watching :)

07.01.2022 Great way to start the day with the work-shops buzzing!

05.01.2022 According to legend, the one sure way to catch a monkey, is to put a banana in a jar. The monkey reaches into the jar, grabs the banana, but cannot extract its hand without letting go of what he has. Refusing to do so, he traps himself. In a similar vein, today’s Gospel reminds us that our gifts need to be exercised with joy and with courage, risking and even sacrificing what we have, to make room for something more.

05.01.2022 Support Local Business On October 16 our Year 12 students will be celebrating their final formal day of secondary school. Why not help celebrate by ordering a special meal on the night to enjoy with your family from one of the many local businesses in your area.

04.01.2022 We live in a generation of fast-changing fads and fashions. What is trending today will be considered trash tomorrow. With this in mind, our Listening Liturgy Podcast for this Wednesday invites us to go deeper than surface style, look at the contents instead of the container and considerwhat lasts?

01.01.2022 Our 2020 Remembrance Day Ceremony. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. / At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them." ... Lest We Forget.

01.01.2022 As restrictions ease we may, like the nine lepers of today’s Listening Liturgy Gospel, be so overwhelmed by a desire to return to ‘normal life’ that we forget to give thanks. Today, let us be the one leper that recognises his blessing and turn back, reflecting on the daily gifts that are worthy of our gratitude.
