Welcome to Term 4

As we begin Term 4, I extend a heartfelt welcome to all members of our Caroline Chisholm Catholic College community. This final term of the year is a time of reflection, celebration, and anticipation. It is a season where we consolidate our learning, deepen our relationships, and prepare for the transitions ahead. As we will be farewelling our wonderful Year 12 students, we will also welcome our new Year 7, 2026 students for orientation at the conclusion of the term.

This term sees us start the construction of some very significant projects. The roof of the Quin Auditorium will be repaired and the building modernised. There is the upgrading of the lift at St John’s Campus and the construction of the STEM Centre. This will make spaces tight, but the future looks great.

To our dedicated staff, thank you for your continued commitment to nurturing the spiritual, academic, social, physical, and emotional growth of our students. Your efforts shape the culture of excellence and care that defines our College. Your efforts go a long way in helping shape the wonderful adults that our students become.

I encourage each student to embrace the opportunities this term presents. Whether it’s finalising assessments, engaging in co-curricular activities, or supporting one another, your presence and contributions make our College a vibrant and inclusive place. You have the control of where you are heading and what you wish to achieve. All the best to you in the final term before the academic year concludes.

A special message to our Year 12 students: as you approach the conclusion of your secondary education, know that you carry with you the hopes and pride of our entire community. Your journey has been marked by resilience, growth, and achievement. We wish you every success in your upcoming exams and future endeavours. May you continue to lead with courage, compassion, and purpose. We look forward to your end of year celebrations but remember that the journey has not ended. In fact, you now need to be sprinting towards the end line.

Parents, thank you for your partnership, interest, and trust. I hope that your child will make the most of the opportunities that will emerge in the next two months.

Let us move forward together with optimism and gratitude, making Term 4 a memorable and meaningful chapter in our shared story.

All the best to you, always,

Nap Rodezno
