Community Initiative

Mrs Hookham’s Pastoral Class started their own fundraising campaign last term with each boy contributing $5. This money was then used to purchase children’s books for a women’s refuge. Today the boys presented Jane from the Manly Warringah Women’s Resource Centre with these books. In total 74 books were donated. Well done boys and Mrs Hookham.

Science Excursion

On Tuesday, the boys went to Walk About Wildlife Park near Gosford on the Central Coast. The study complimented their class work and the boys were able to experience many facets of Australia’s unique wildlife. The boys behaved exceptionally well, in fact they were the best group the Park has had in many years! Well that was the report we received anyway.

Academic Resilience

James Cummins (old boys of the College) returned today to continue his presentation on Academic Resilience with the boys. The boys focused on grit, stress, determination and commitment to academic excellence.

Spring Fair

There are still a few places available for those willing and able to assist at the White Elephant Stall at the Spring Fair. If you are able to do so please sign up on the link below.

Mary Street Gates

Mary Street Entry & New Lift Project

 

Please note the Mary Street entry will be closed from this Monday 23 October until the end of the year. There will be no access to the College through this entry.

There are major works underway with a new lift being constructed between the Br Liguori Resources Centre and the Years 7 to 10 Classroom Block, an upgrade to the Mary Street entry with a ramp providing accessible entry to the teaching block and the restoration of the Mary Street gates.

The closure of the Mary Street gates may cause minor inconvenience, however this is necessary to ensure the safety of students, staff and visitors.
