19.01.2022 Santa Maria College service groups will be collecting used mobile phones and their chargers to donate to alumni Lucy Franklin (2016), who works at the not-for-profit organisation, Hello Initiative. Lucy was an active contributor to the Santa Maria Service Co-curricular Program and her passion to help those in the community continues today. Used mobile phones will be given to at-risk teenagers who need them to make contact with their parole officer when they are released from... detention centres like Banksia. If they do not make contact they automatically go back to detention. This is not only an excellent initiative but a very sustainable practice and we hope you can help! Please see the flyer attached for more details. Mobile phone donations can be left at the College Reception or in the library. Please bring in by 20 August (before Exeat weekend).

08.01.2022 We love hearing about what youre up to and keeping you connected with your fellow alumni. Share your story here.

08.01.2022 It is so wonderful to hear stories of people living their best life. Gemma Nugent (1993) shares her story here. Heres a throwback from 12 years ago today: me, outside the WA Supreme Court on 4 August 2008. The day of my admission ceremony.... That grin on my face speaks of all the elation and pride I felt that day. Id made it! The road to get to this point wasnt always easy, but I knew Id found something that really suited me. I still love being a lawyer. Im in a particularly sweet spot just at the moment. I have a great balance, delivering tender and legal risk management support to SoundLegal clients, plus promoting and improving access to justice for NFPs and social enterprises via my Curtin Link role at Curtin Law School. I definitely had no idea what 2020 and the years in between would throw at me when this photo was taken... but I think Id have been quietly impressed with all the things Ive achieved. Do you have a special photo that reminds you how far youve come? #goals #growthmindset #liveyourbestlife
