On Monday 22 June, we held our Term 2 Whole School Assembly. This gathering allows us to shine a light on the many activities our students have participated in across Semester 1. It is a way of acknowledging the many students who are doing their best to fulfil this year’s scriptural theme: ‘Whatever you do, do it with all your heart.’ Colossians 3:23a. Stopping to gather together to recognise these achievements is a way we connect to our College value of joy and is an important element of being a vibrant college community.

In the assembly, we were able to acknowledge the team of students who make up our SRC. The following students were given their leadership badges for their commitment to the College:

Hannah K (College Captain)

Aprila D (College Captain)

Carina B (Year 12)

Aarchi K (Year 12)

Romi L (Year 11)

Isabella L (Year 11)

Caitlin S (Year 10)

Evie C (Year 10)

Chiara M (Year 9)

Stephanie S (Year 9)

Kita D (Year 8)

Charlotte N (Year 8)

Two Year 7 students will join the team in Semester 2.

During the assembly, we were also able to make a presentation to Hayley Marriott, Fundraising and Engagement Lead at McAuley for Women and Children, with the funds that were raised from this year’s Dare2Donate campaign. This fundraising tradition began in 2014 and each year various fun activities are run in the last week of Term 2 so that we can direct our efforts to support this valuable service. On Friday, our teachers bravely stepped up and fulfilled their dares, with Barnaby Joyce and ‘Kath & Kim’ a few of the characters who made a special appearance. Thank you to Jessica Battersby, our Student Leadership Coordinator and the hard-working Year 12 Student Leadership Team for coordinating these events for the College community.
