In the last few weeks, our Year 11 students have been through a rigorous selection process in their quest to become College Leaders for 2024\/2025. Impressively, 60 girls put themselves forward for leadership positions and they are all to be congratulated for their willingness to serve the College. This takes courage, confidence and resilience! To those young women who graciously accepted that this wasn\u2019t their time to be in a formal leadership role, life will certainly provide other opportunities to step up and lead.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am pleased to announce our Santa Sabina College Student Leadership Team for 2024\/2025: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The College has been a hive of activity in the last few weeks celebrating both Science Week and Book Week respectively. Once again, our Science Showcase delivered a TED Talks style event where experts from our community spoke to the theme: ‘Species Survival \u2013 More than just Sustainability.’ Their presentations were really interesting covering diverse examples of how their cutting-edge research is positively impacting our world. There was also a whole week of exciting Science activities on offer during recess and lunch across all campuses and I thank our teachers for bringing Science to life for our students \u2013 as they do every day!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Book Week highlighted the power of storytelling. Reading is one of the single most important ways children learn about people, places and perspectives while also developing their vocabularies along with their ability to write well. Reading novels deepens a young person\u2019s capacity to concentrate and it is a good way to relax. Our inaugural Writers Festival was a huge success and students enjoyed spending time in workshops with contemporary authors. You could feel the joy at both the Primary and Secondary Book Parades this year and teachers went all out to dress as their favourite book character. We were so pleased to welcome parents to witness the spectacle and thank those who also went above and beyond by dressing up and joining in the Book Parades.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have seen that we have embarked on a social media campaign in the build-up to our very first Giving Day which will take place on 4 September. Volunteers will join staff to reach out to people in our community throughout the day in an effort to raise money to support the construction of the new Gymnasium and Aquatic Centre. We will be grateful for any contribution that you can make<\/a> to help our children access these exciting new facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
