Afternoon of Excellence

Our Afternoon of Excellence is an important date in our College calendar, as we recognise the students who have gone above and beyond in their academic subjects.

Congratulations to all those who received awards!

Summer Music Concert

Continuing the theme of Excellence, our Summer Music cencert showcased the truly exceptional musical talent we have here at the College. Congratulations to everyone who performed or worked backstage, and to all the staff who supported students. It was a wonderful night on the green, and the community spirit that makes the College what it is was heartwarming!

One Year Reunion

In only it's second year of running, it was gratifying to see so many of our previous Year 12 class return for their One Year Reunion!
Our Class of 2025 returned to catch up with one another, tell stories about what they've been up to, and celebrate having been graduated for a full year before heading on to the Summer Music Concert. 

Engineering Students at Work Program

Over the term 3 holidays, I and 8 of my fellow year 10s had the opportunity to take part in the Engineering Students at Work Challenge. This 5 day Work Experience run by Akorn Education and Engineers Australia, allowed high school students to experience what life is like as an engineer. As part of the work experience, our school alongside other schools had to work together to complete a project. The project required us to work together and create different sections of a hypothetical town. To assist us with this project, engineers from Introba came to speak to us about the different sections of engineering which we could implement into our projects.Over the 4 days we spent at the Engineers Australia office we were able to learn so much. We learned about the different fields of engineering, how they’re used in everyday buildings and we also learnt how to work as a team. Overall, this experience was an enriching hands-on opportunity that prepared us for the world of engineering.

- Tram Do

I would say this was an extremely rare and valuable experience. As a past aspiring future architect, this program has encouraged to change my career to one that includes some type of engineering, such as architectural engineering, or even a substainability engineer, which was presented to us alongside other fields such as fire safety, electricty, hydraulics and more. The program enabled us to work in team with other schools, which I can say for myself, has increased my social skills as someone who is quite antisocial. It also encouraged us to manage our time well, not only individually, but collectively as a whole, which was vital in completing our work in the course of 4 days. Overall, this entire experience was one I will never forget, and I would encourage as many students as possible to engage in the Engineering Students @ Work Challenge.

Australian Catholic Youth Festival

A number of our students attended the Australian Catholic youth Festival earlier this week. The festival included opportunities for engagement with other young people, school and youth groups, Bishops, musicians and speakers. Each of the 3 days saw our students engaging in a wide range of activities including prayer, Mass, workshops, talks, live concerts, games, justice issues and an interactive expo.

House Activities Day

As part of our end of year celebrations, our junior students participate in a House activities day, where they compete across a number of acitivites, including baking, art tasks, sporting games and more. 

Year 7 STEM Day

Our Year 7 students participated in a STEM day in their final week for 2025, exploring all things Science, Technologies, Engineering and Mathematics. 

There were a range of incredible acitivities put together by our staff, and our students finished the day with a better understanding and appreciation for all the STEM subjects!

Class of 2026 Senior Formal

On Monday our Class of 2026 celebrated their Senior Formal, formally marking the beginning of their time as Year 12s with the College. 

It was a wonderful evening, and we hope all those who attended found it a celebratory way to start their holidays before their final year with us. 

Year 9 Graduation and Campus Christmas Liturgies

On the final day of their classes, our Junior students said farewell to their Year 9 classmates before they move to the Sacred Heart Campus, as well as observing a final liturgy for the year, recongising and celebrating Advent.

We also welcomed and congratulated our new Junior Campus Captains into their new roles, and thanked the outgoing Campus Captains.

It's a big moment for our Year 9 students, as their responsibilities and expectations change, and as they complete the last day on their St John's or Christ the King Campus. We look forward to welcoming our new Year 10s on site at Sacred Heart next year!
