From the 2025/26 College Co-Captains

As we approach the end of Term 1, it has been incredible to witness the energy, spirit and involvement across our college community. From the enthusiasm of our Year 7 students settling into high school life, to our senior students embracing the challenges of their final years, it is clear that 2026 has already been a meaningful and memorable year.

Over the past few weeks, our school has been buzzing with amazing events including the Swimming Carnival, Campus Experience, Harmony Week and Project Compassion initiatives. A particular highlight was International Women’s Week, where our community came together to reflect on this year’s theme, “Balance the Scales.” Through various activities, including the balance scales installation, our collaboration with Cerdon College, a special Mass, the teacher vs student tug-of-war, and the Sisters in Song concert, we raised awareness, united as a community, and celebrated what it means to be women of action.

We are also excited to introduce our new student-led initiative, “Keen to Clean,” which encourages all students to take pride in maintaining a clean and respectful environment. With the help of our new mascot, JMClean, we look forward to seeing each year group get involved in the competition!

In addition to this, next term we will be launching our new Student‑Led Newsletter! This will be a dedicated space for students to stay connected with what’s happening around the College; from achievements, to clubs and co‑curriculars, to sport and missionary initiatives. We can’t wait to see the creativity, voice, and leadership this project inspires across our community

As the term comes to a close, we encourage everyone to keep showing up, giving things a go, and most importantly, being kind; to your peers, to your teachers and to yourselves. 

Let’s continue this term embracing our theme:

“With Goodness at Heart, We Unite in Action.”
