Combined Schools Mass

Last week, the College was incredibly fortunate to host the annual Combined K-12 Schools' Mass.

This annual event celebrates our shared faith, community spirit, and commitment to Catholic education. Students from St Bernard’s, St Mary’s and Carroll College came together to celebrate a mass with the theme of reconciliation. It was a beautiful expression of unity and fellowship among the three schools and a testament to the strength and vitality of our Catholic school community. We thank Father Loi and Father George for celebrating mass with us and look forward to continued pathways events throughout the year.

Year 8 Formation Day

On Friday 24 May, one hundred Year 8 students participated in the annual Year 8 Formation Day, centred around the theme ‘Who Am I?’ Students participated in various team-building exercises, which helped them develop stronger bonds with their peers and enhance their collaborative skills. These activities were not only fun and engaging but also provided valuable lessons in communication, trust, and cooperation. In addition to the team-building exercises, the day included moments of prayer and spiritual reflection.

Overall, the Formation Day was a meaningful and enriching experience, offering students a balance of active participation and introspective contemplation. Thank you as always to Mrs Belle Barling, who organised and facilitated the day, along with the many staff members who supported her.

Winter Sleepout

This winter, several senior students and staff members will be participating in the St Vincent de Paul Winter Sleepout. This event aims to raise awareness of the realities faced by many men and women throughout Australia this winter, and to raise funds to assist our local St Vincent de Paul. All proceeds will go to those who need it most in the Far South Coast area. Please consider donating if you can. The link below takes you to the page, where you can either donate to the cause in general or to a specific participant to help them reach their goal.
