Members of our College community are warmly invited to join us for our next Working Bee on Saturday 8 August from 9.00am – 12.00pm.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families while assisting with general grounds maintenance and light improvement projects around the College. Tasks will include supporting the upkeep and enhancement of our outdoor spaces, refreshing key areas, and helping with small preparation activities that contribute to the smooth running of College services.

Lunch will be served at approximately 11.30am as a thank you to our volunteers.

Whether you were serving students on the front line in the Two Wolves Café and Canteen, or working behind the scenes in the kitchen, your time, energy and commitment helped make the day such a success. Our staff are truly grateful for your willingness to support this important community event.

Thanks to your efforts, we sold out with more than 600 donuts, 300 Choc Tops and over 300 drinks sold throughout the day.

Thank you once again for your generosity and support. We could not have achieved such a wonderful outcome without you. 

Grandparents Mass & Morning Tea

The recent Grandparents Mass and Morning Tea was a wonderful and heartwarming occasion. It was a pleasure to welcome grandparents into our College community and celebrate the special role they play in the lives of our students. The Mass provided a meaningful opportunity for reflection and connection, while the Morning Tea allowed families, students, and staff to come together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended and highlighted the strong sense of community that makes our College so special.
