Year 8 Aspire Presentations

Our Year 8 Aspire students spent part of last term visiting social enterprises, learning about their purpose and how they operate in order to develop their own concepts. These ideas were presented to the Year 7 Aspire students, with students responding to questions about the feasibility of each proposal.

Well done to all students, who clearly thought carefully about their presentations and worked diligently throughout the term to develop them!

Maribyrnong Youth Sustainability Summit

Some of our Eco Committee members recently participated in the Maribyrnong Youth Sustainability Summit. Below is a reflection from our Year 9 CTK Sustainability Captain on how the day went:

“On Wednesday, 10 June, students from the Eco Committee attended the Maribyrnong Youth Sustainability Summit at Footscray Town Hall. Throughout the day, we participated in sustainability workshops facilitated by CERES and learned about important environmental issues in our community. We also heard about sustainability programs being run by other schools, including initiatives focused on recycling, waste reduction, and environmental awareness.

We enjoyed sharing ideas and exploring how we can further develop our own environmental leadership. The day left us feeling inspired, informed, and excited to apply what we learned in our own school community.”

    Performing Arts Showcase

    Our College’s Performing Arts Showcase for Semester 1 was held in Week 9, with students from Years 7, 9, 10, and 11 performing their Drama and Theatre Studies pieces for fellow students, family, and friends.

    The performances were incredible, and guests reported being highly impressed by the calibre of acting on display.

    Congratulations to all the students who participated!

    100 Days of VCE and VCE VM

    Our Year 11 students came together last week to celebrate 100 days of VCE and VCE VM with a shared breakfast and show. Students had a wonderful time, cheering on the magician, enjoying breakfast, and celebrating the milestone of reaching 100 days of their VCE and VCE VM journey!

    VET Sport Coaching

    Our Year 1 VET Sport, Aquatics and Recreation class recently visited St Lawrence Primary School in Derrimut, assisting with the running of their Athletics Day.

    Our students described the experience as highly worthwhile, providing them with valuable real-world opportunities to demonstrate their competencies in organising and running a sporting event.

    We were incredibly proud of how our students conducted themselves throughout the day - well done to everyone involved!

    Un-limited Concert

    Last Friday, our students from Years 7, 8, 9, and VET Music came together in the QA to enjoy an incredible performance by the musical group Un-Limited. It was a fantastic way for our students to spend the second-last Friday of term, and we were thrilled to see so many students actively involved and engaged throughout the concert - including an impromptu dance party at the end!

    Vinnies Winter Sleepout

    A highlight of our College's fundraising efforts, the Vinnies Winter Sleepout is a unique opportunity for students to learn about homelessness in Australia. 
    Students heard directly from members of St Vincents, as well as completing a number of activities designed to help them understand the difficulties faced by those St Vinnies aims to help.

    Activities included trying to design a menu for a fortnights worth of food, based on current catalogues and a budget of $150, a centrelink activity, and exploring truths vs myths about homelessness, as well as fun breaks for dodgeball and drawing activities.

    Brennan Fun Run

    Our 2026 Brennan Fun Run continued the tradition of coming together as a community honour our late Principal, Robert Brennan, and raising funds for the Smith Family. 

    It was a wonderful afternoon that highlighted what makes our community so special, with a real feeling of warmth and togetherness. Thank you to all who contributed or participated - if you'd like to make a donation, you can do so here

    Term 2 Assembly

    On the last Thursday of the Term, the entire College came together to hear about what our Learning Areas and portfolios had been working on for the past 10 weeks. 

    The students celebrated one anothers academic achievements and videos with wrap-ups from each campus, as well as hearing from some of our incredibly talented musical students.

    Sacred Heart Day

    Our annual Sacred Heart Day was held today, and as always, it was fantastic!

    Staff and students came together in the morning, with a smoking ceremony and a mass, to prepare and center themselves. We also celebrated those who won gold Waa Awards and Spirit Awards.

    Students then participated in the Sacred Heart Day Fair, dunking staff members in the dunk tank, purchasing snacks from a variety of stalls including KFC Go-Buckets, sushi, rice paper rolls and pizza. Also popular was the petting zoo, fresh roses and the photo booth.

    After the Fair, sustained by the snacks, students came back into the BDH to cheer on their friends and classmates in the Talent Quest, where we saw everything from martial arts demonstrations to a sneak peak of our upcoming musical, Legally Blonde Jr.

    We hope everyone enjoyed the day, and takes the joy and excitement into the school holidays, coming back rested and refreshed for Term 3!
