Year 12 Retreat
Our Year 12 students recently completed their retreat. This event is a culmination of the reflection days and Religious Education that they've completed throughout their time with us here at the College.
We hope that the Retreat set our students up for a successful Year 12, and helped them prepare for their final year here at 4Cs!
Catholic Education Week
Catholic Education Week is an opportunity for all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Melbourne to celebrate their Catholic identity, the pivotal role they play within their local community and the strength of the sector.
As part of this week, the Mass of St Patrick for Schools was held on Friday 20 March at St Patrick’s Cathedral. The Mass provides the religious centrepiece for the week’s events. Student representatives from every primary and secondary school in the Archdiocese of Melbourne join Archbishop Peter for a celebration of the Eucharist. Led by Celtic pipers and a procession of school banners, the Mass recognises the charism of the Catholic education community in a ceremony that honours the commitment to our shared tradition.
Representatives of the College were at attendance to this mass as well as joining The Young Speakers Colloquium for senior secondary students after the mass.
Here are reflections from two students who attended:
This year's Catholic Education Week mass and events were meaningful experiences that deepened our understanding of living faith-filled lives surrounded by God’s protection, centred on the theme “Christ Beside Me: Walking in the Footsteps of Saint Patrick.” The Young Speakers Colloquium event shared inspiring stories from young leaders about faith, growth, and leadership, encouraging us to live out our faith with greater purpose.

On the 20th of March, the Faith and Mission team attended the Mass of St Patrick for Schools and the Young Speakers Colloquium, proving to be an awe-inspiring experience. It began at St Patrick’s Cathedral that displayed the school banners and showcased a Mass liturgy. It allowed me as a student to faithfully connect with many schools, both primary and secondary. With the mass ending, secondary schools were invited to attend the Catholic Leadership Centre which empowered many to listen to students from various colleges talk about their experiences of faithfully connecting with the Lord and spreading the love/message of Christ. It enabled us students, including me, to be influenced and motivated to continue to nourish and spread my belief as a Christian. This uplifting talk brought us to socially connect with others and understand how God is the love in us. The speakers gave us the social connection Christianity gives us as a Catholic community. This was communicated in the Australian Catholic Youth Festival and the Jubilee trips last year, held by the Melbourne Archdiocese.

Cultural Diversity Week and Harmony Day
As a College we celebrated Harmony Week in March, an annual celebration that promotes diversity, inclusion, and respect for all cultures. A day that encourages people to learn about different cultures, understand the importance of mutual respect, and embrace shared values such as kindness, acceptance, and unity.
To celebrate, students wrote messages of harmony and connection on hands that created a lovely display of unity at both campuses.
Students were treated to delicious cultural foods at the canteen and enjoyed traditional Burmese donuts at lunch time.
We witnessed a wonderful performance of African culture, when an African Drumming performance entertained students at lunchtime, and students at CTK also performed cultural dances.
To conclude the week, students were encouraged to wear cultural dress to bring elements of their culture to our school corridors and yard. It was a wonderful week of celebration, recognizing the many cultures that make up the CCCC community.
Open Day
We were delighted to welcome so many families to our College community for our Open Day on Sunday the 22nd.
Is was a wonderful example of what makes our College so special, with connections, fun and learning at the centre of the whole day.
Thank you so much to the many students and staff who generously gave their time and energy to ensure the success of the day. Your enthusiasm, professionalism, and pride in our College were evident in every interaction and played a significant role in creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
We've received lot's of really positive feedback about how wonderful both the staff and students were on the day, including on yours, in rehearsals, at stands and during musical performances.
We also thank the families who joined us, whose interest and engagement made the day so special, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the College in the future!

The College also held it's first rehearsal on Open Day, which was incredible as future families will be able to see the full life cylce of the production, from first rehearsal to the final event.
Health and Physical Education (HPE) Week

The week featured competitions and tournaments, including a Jump Rope competition, Badminton tournament and Year 12 Dodgeball tournament, Bike n Blend sessions which allowed students to use stationary bikes to blend their smoothies, a CTK nutrition stand with Gameday Nutrition, featuring Ruby Tipoldi, an AFLW player, and ending with our annual Athletics day!
Athletics Day
Our College Athletics Day went ahead despite some challenging weather, and our staff and students did an incredible job cheering on their house teams throughout the day.
The winner of the day will be announced at the assembly later in the week.
