Year 9 Father Son camp information
This is an invitation for your son and his father or “fatherly figure” to attend the Year 9 Father/Son weekend at Colo on the 19th and 20th August. This is an optional opportunity, which usually sees at least half of the Year 9 boys and their father (or father figure) attending.
For many Year 9 boys, this age is a time when they are entering a transition to manhood. It can be a time of exciting change and growth that is coupled with times of challenge and struggle for your son (as well as for those close to him). The intent of the weekend is to allow the opportunity for you to spend some special time with each other and strengthen your dialogue with him as he embarks on this transition. Those fathers who have joined us in the past have spoken very highly of their positive and rewarding experiences.
There are links to six documents providing information related to the weekend at the bottom of this post.
Many boys and their dads (or father figure) get a lot out of their Colo experience together and I hope that you’ll be able to join us.
Kind regards,
Paul Bryant, Coordinator of the SJC Colo Outdoor Education Campus

20 minute recess challenge
On Friday 19th May the boys were able to make a donation towards the new Marist School in Timor-Leste. In return they were able to select from a large range of cakes, biscuits and slices. A very big thank you to Anita MacKenzie (mother of Sean) and kitchen staff Wendy and Urmi who greatly assisted with the goodies for the boys.
