21.01.2022 A wonderful celebration today of our special relationship with the Mary Rice Centre in Kenya. We enjoyed an entertaining soccer match, a moving Mass celebrated superbly by Fr Suresh, tyre and water bucket races and our Tjunge Mary Rice Centre Walkathon - all under blue winter skies! It was a great opportunity to stand - and walk with our brothers and sisters in Kibera. Asante Sana to Bridget Jenkins for leading our day, our parents and staff who cooked an amazing African luncheon and our boys for raising funds for the specially abled children of the MRC!

04.01.2022 It was a great privilege for Grade 10 students to experience spending the afternoon with the Tassie Nannas. The Tassie Nannas are a group of determined and creative grandparents who have been advocating for the rights of refugees for many, many years, knitting publicly in the Hobart CBD every Friday in protest and educating the wider community on the lived experiences and treatment of refugees and asylum seekers Sue Todd, who worked as a trauma counsellor on Nauru, spoke abou...t and the rules, conditions and the daily lives of the people she had worked with there, and also shared some very compelling photos and firsthand insights. Margaret Eldridge shared stories of the people she had welcomed into her own home and cared for and helped, living the Gospel of St Mathew in the most generous and genuine way. The Nannas also spoke about their activism and the practical ways in which we can all take action to fight injustice; they write letters to Politicians, participate in rallies and public events and have a big social media presence. They were able to show the boys that people can act collectively on things they feel strongly about, and that there are things they can do at an individual level too. At the end of the presentation our Service Leaders presented the Nannas with three blankets that had been knitted by our College community as part of the Service Leaders Refugee Week campaign in June. The blankets will be given to some recently arrived families and hopefully bring a bit of winter warmth, colour and care to those experiencing their first Hobart winter.

04.01.2022 Preparations are coming together for our Thanksgiving Ceremony tonight in the Quad, commencing at 7.15pm. If you can't be there in person, please tune in to our live broadcast on the College's You Tube Channel - https://youtu.be/DCP68f8_xIg

03.01.2022 Change in Start time - 2020 Thanksgiving Liturgy and Awards Ceremony. Please be advised that following feedback from students and parents, the decision has been taken to move the start time for the 2020 Thanksgiving Liturgy and Awards Ceremony on Thursday to 7.15pm (previously scheduled and advertised as 6.30pm). This will enable families to have dinner prior to the ceremony and should enable most parents and carers to more easily negotiate after work traffic and arrive at t...he ceremony in a more relaxed manner. With the change in start time please note the changes in arrival times: Grade 10 boys are required at the Edmund Rice Hall by 6:45pm. Grade 9 boys and other award winners are required to be in their seats by 7pm. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to a wonderful evening and for those members of the St Virgil's Community that cannot be in attendance, please tune in LIVE on our College YouTube Channel.
