25.01.2022 Pursuing your passion can be daunting, but speaking with someone who has been through the ropes can help! Year 12 students Ella and Elizabeth, both interested in applying to international schools for fashion design, visited All Hallows graduate Amelia Scott at her gelateria this week for a chat about her experience with the Parsons School of Design in New York. Amelia begins online study with Parsons this month after completing a Summer Intensive Program in New York last year, and gave the girls some great advice on the international application process. Thanks Amelia!

24.01.2022 Cascian House has been hard at work collecting donations for their wellbeing mission, @Share the Dignity, whose work directly benefits those experiencing period poverty. Donations help to support many women, restoring the dignity of those in need. Cascians Dignity Drive doesnt close until 31 August, so theres still plenty of time to donate sanitary items at Student Services for your chance to win a Westfield Card! First prize will be drawn tomorrow for Cascian Colour Day #sharethedignity #womensupportingwomen #donate

23.01.2022 The festive season has come around so fast! It’s been a strange year, but thankfully this hasn’t affected the joy of giving. Giving and sharing is the very essence of Christmas and, although so many events this year had to be cancelled, St Rita’s thanks the many businesses who so willingly supported us and the education we provide to the girls of St Rita’s. For this reason, over the next week we will be shouting out businesses who have kindly supported us throughout the year..., so we can now support them in the lead-up to Christmas! Today’s shout out goes to Trevor Sim at Clayfield Jewellery, an awesome supporter of the College - and just five minutes away. With a huge End of Year sale now on (30-50% off storewide), it’s the perfect time to find some stunning pieces in time for Christmas. We would also like to thank Harcourts Ascot Clayfield, Specialised Plan Management, Clear to Work, Madison Cleaning Services and Liquor Legends, along with GOA Billboards, 97.3, Brisbane Racing Club, Datacom, Place Real Estate Ascot, Media Suite, Quality Food Services, Dominos and Grill’d Ascot for their support in 2020.

20.01.2022 What is String Theory? How can you make a balloon float without helium? How does our nervous system work?
