12.01.2022 Grade 9 students Colby, Xavier, and Hugh filming their Fishing Mockumentary as part of their English studies. This is the Life! Look out for it on the big screen!

12.01.2022 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.

10.01.2022 The Alex Gadomski Cup between St Virgil’s College and The Hutchins School. Wow, what a match this was! Both teams played hard and fair, in a high tempo and high...ly skilled exhibition of schoolboy football at it's best. Well done boys. In its 3rd year, this football match is a Year 9/10 game and aims to honour one of SVC's former students Alex Gadomski and to raise awareness and much needed funds for The Alex Gadomski Fellowship.all in order to find a cure for bone marrow failure. Two great schools with plenty of sporting rivalry and tradition, coming together for a terrific cause. Final score: SVC 16.5.101 defeated HUT 11.6.72 Best on Ground and winner of The Alex Gadomski Medal was Sam Banks-Smith from Hutchins. Fantastic to have Alex's brother, Lachlan Gadomski on hand to present the Cup to SVC Captain Fletcher Hooker and the Medal to Sam Banks-Smith. Breakdown of the scoring by quarter: Q1 SVC 5.1.31 HUT 2.2.14 Q2 SVC 4.1.25 HUT 2.1.13 Q3 SVC 4.1.25 HUT 4.2.26 Q4 SVC 3.2.20 HUT 3.1.19 Congratulations to everyone involved.

05.01.2022 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.
