25.01.2022 Some more photos from today.

25.01.2022 We are over halfway through

24.01.2022 The shaving continues. Some of our hairdressers are learning new skills.

23.01.2022 First State of Origin game tomorrow night!! It’s also wear Maroon for Queensland at St Columba’s. If you’re brave you can wear blue. Looking forward to seeing all the Queensland support.

21.01.2022 And we are away with Shave for a cure for this year.

20.01.2022 Congratulations and thank you to all the staff at St Columba’s on World Teachers Day.

17.01.2022 As well as celebrating the wonderful efforts of our talented Piano students and those shaving their heads for a great cause, which were both sadly, spectator free events, today also marked a wonderful celebration for many St. Columba’s mums at the annual St. Columba’s Mothers’ lunch, held this year under strict COVID-safe guidelines at Gambaro’s restaurant. As the uncertainty of the year prevented the confirmation of this event until only very recently, our lovely organizers... Maggie & Beck had to contend with many challenges to even get this event off the ground, and in a short space of time. They did a sensational job, and we thank them both most sincerely for their time and efforts in bringing this community-building event to fruition! Congratulations! Super job ladies!

17.01.2022 And there’s more

16.01.2022 Senior Cross Country 2020 update What glorious conditions for a cross country run!!! Our Senior carnival has now finished and our Juniors are just about to commence. ... Well done to all runners, and special congratulations to Burton House, winners of the Marie Davis shield for the 2020 Senior section (Yrs 3-6). Watch this space for another update on our Juniors soon!

16.01.2022 Welcome everyone to Week 8! This will be the Tuckshop's last operating week for the school year. Stocks will be limited in this final week as we prepare to clean the tuckshop and clear all fridges and freezers over the break. Sushi on Friday will still be available. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank convenor Rebecca Yates, and all of the wonderful Tuckshop volunteers for the excellent care and service they have provided to the community, despite many challenge...s in 2020. Thank you for your understanding with these end of year Tuckshop arrangements. See more

15.01.2022 May we remember today all those who have died as a result of War. God give us peace. Help us to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and grant us the grace to pray for those who wish us harm. As we honour the past, may we put our faith in the future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and forever. Amen. ... Lest We Forget.

14.01.2022 The first lot of brave volunteers.

13.01.2022 You may remember last year we started a collection of unwanted / old / broken / empty writing instruments to be taken for recycling at the end of the school year? Thanks to Terracycle and our St. Columba's Green Team, once again we will be taking all of these unwanted items to an official collection point for recycling. It's a fabulous initiative, and one which we've agreed as a school to support each year as part of our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainabili...ty. Therefore, as the last days draw nearer, an empty box has been placed in the reception area for all of these items from either yourselves or the children. Remember it is mainly plastic items, such as pens, highlighters, textas, zooms, liquid paper pens etc that no longer work or are broken. We would appreciate your support in encouraging your child/ren to donate any of their unwanted / old / broken / empty writing instruments to the collection box. Thank you for your anticipated support of this initiative!

12.01.2022 Wishing you all peace and joy this Christmas season.

09.01.2022 It's on tomorrow!!! Shave for a Cure 2020! After a postponement from earlier in the year, it's finally here! It’s unfortunate that we are unable to have the wider school community be part of our annual fundraiser Shave for a Cure. ... This has long been a tradition at St. Columba’s and is one that both the students and parents have enjoyed.

You will only be able to access this video via the link that will be distributed to parents/carers. Our IT Coordinator will email you the link tomorrow afternoon. (We ask that this email containing the link is not to be shared further) Thank you for your understanding, and a huge thank you to all participants and their sponsors!

Tournament of Minds is an international competition. This year in the current climate, we competed nationwide submitting our recorded challenge solution via a YouTube link. ... Last week, we finally had an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful achievements of these children on assembly. Our congratulations go to all participating students, as well as a huge thank you to our wonderful support team of teachers who assisted each team. Special congratulations to the members of the Super Technical team who received a merit (top 10%) and the LL Legends and the Wahoo Arty Arty Ants teams who were awarded Honours (Top 20%) Well done to our other participating teams, the SS Sausages, and the Super Technical Exploring Mathematicians! With these creative minds in our community, and indeed the world, we know the future will be in great hands! Well done to all.

Our Year 2 children chose to create NAIDOC posters celebrating someone they are inspired by that is an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person. We think they’ve done an amazing job!

06.01.2022 It was all about yesteryear last Friday for our Year 3 students, who were simply bursting with excitement about being able to go on their first excursion for the year, to Caboolture Historical Village. The children experienced just how life would have been for some of their grandparents or great grandparents, with the help of their fabulous teachers and the wonderful volunteer staff at the village. There were even a gang of Bushrangers who held up the train, much to the e...xcitement of the children! Some went to gaol, and everyone sang God Save the King, reminiscent of the times! It was surely a day that won’t be forgotten very quickly! Thanks to all the wonderful staff who made this excursion possible for our students.

06.01.2022 Great day for a swim carnival! Looking forward to our Years 3-6 children making a splash today at their carnival that was postponed from earlier in the year! We are so excited to still be able to offer this opportunity to them all. ... Go Skehan , Burton , Barry , O’Shea

05.01.2022 Year 6 Italian Pizza Party Today our Year 6’s celebrated all things Italian as they come to the end of their Italian lessons at St. Columba’s.

Today, the 2020 Year 6 Italian award was presented to Gabby Mollo.... Congratulations Gabby and all Year 6 students. We thank Signor Crollini for another fine year of Italian lessons at St. Columba’s. See more
