Dear Parents and Friends of the College,
On Wednesday we marked the beginning of the Lenten season with an Ash Wednesday liturgy, which was followed by our first Excellence Assembly. Congratulations to all of the Merit and Excellence recipients who were presented with certificates, badges and Blues Awards during the ceremony. With the scholarship results bring published the day before, we were able to acknowledge the two scholarship awards gained by Jared Papps. It is important that we take the opportunity to acknowledge publicly our top scholars, as academic achievement is our core business. Younger students can also view the process and aspire to excellence, with the Blues Awards acting as additional motivation. Thank you to the student leaders for comparing the Excellence Assembly.
Today I have had the pleasure of meeting many of our parents at the Athletics Sports. The weather was ideal for track and field events and the keen spirit of engagement in House competition was obvious. Thank you to Ms Casey and her team for organising both last weeks swimming sports and the athletics programme today. Thank you also to the College staff and volunteers who helped with the all important administration of these days.
Also getting into their pre-trade course initiation have been our VPath students. Basic heath and safety skills have been covered with students by Mr Alan Grant, our caretaker. Projects that have been tackled include replacement and restoration of the wire in the cricket nets and assembly of the newly purchased octagonal wooden tables for the quadrangle areas. Thank you to Mr Grant for his patient sharing of his expertise.
Over the Christmas holidays, Mr Ryan and myself have worked to provide additional website services. Our improved year planner and detailed fortnightly calender coupled with a YouTube channel and Facebook presence have given a much improved web presence. I would encourage you like us on Facebook and gain the benefits of a simpler link to the College.
God Bless.
Paul Olsen
Principal
