Laudato Si’ 

The buzz on the street is avocado seeds! To celebrate Laudato Si’ week, (Pope Francis’ Encyclical on Care for Creation) each primary class has been given an avocado seed to water and nurture over the coming weeks and months. Some classes have even named theirs!

Sustainability Policy

Our Environmental and Sustainability Officer, Michelle Dance, has been busily working on a Sustainable Purchasing Policy for the College focusing on the use and purchase of environmentally and socially responsible materials, products, and services whenever possible. Already we have moved to recycled paper, locally produced milk, and are sourcing fairer traded coffee – an important commodity in any school staffroom!

This policy was positively received by the College Board and P&F and can be viewed on the College website under Current Families, Policies. By making lots of small changes we can create a better world and model to our children the importance and positive impact of our decisions.

Remembering Hamish

Each Grade 2 class has received a plush sausage dog with a beautiful Hamish name tag. Based on Hamish's favourite dog and beloved pets, these cuddly dogs will follow the students as they progress through the College.

In consultation with the Cullen family, Hoodies for Hamish will take place on Monday, 30^th August which is Hamish’s Birthday. Funds raised on this day will go towards the Brain Cancer Foundation. https://www.curebraincancer.org.au/home

Staff recently raised $181.70 for Brain Cancer Foundation with a Friday afternoon tea and are planning to hold a raffle next term.
