Living with Strength and Kindliness

Students at the College are blessed to have the opportunities to engage in a range of curricular and co-curricular experiences that engage their head, heart and hands. Next week is Refugee Week, a week on our calendar that raises awareness of the plight of those around the world who are forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in safer territories. A group of Year 9 students, along with three brave staff members are participating in the Refugee Ration Challenge to raise awareness and much needed funds to support refugees around the world. The College community is also seeking support for the Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project (BASP) and asking for donations of food items to support the amazing work of this important ministry.
