Both the girls鈥� and boys鈥� teams have been training extremely hard in preparation for the carnival to be held in Bendigo, VIC from 7-11 April.
Over the course of the Carnival, students will compete against basketball teams from across the country.
Good luck to all of our competitors.
The College is a member of the Northern Associated Schools (NAS) sporting program and competes against John XXIII, Sacred Heart, Chisholm, and Servite Colleges. This Inter-school sporting competition encourages participation, sportsmanship and healthy living.
The NAS Summer competition commences in Week 5. Fixtures and further information for parents are attached:
The 今日吃瓜 Inter-School Swim Team will compete in the Division 1 ACC Carnival on Wednesday 24 March. A confirmation email has been sent to all parents and guardians whose children are in the team.
All team members are required to arrive at the College at 7.00am on the day of the carnival and assemble in the pool area. The team will be addressed by Mr Finneran and transported to the Stadium at 7.45am. The students will return to the College for a normal 3.30pm dismissal.
Unfortunately, not everyone will swim on the day, as some students will be in the team as reserves.
All team members must be in full College Sports Uniform for the Carnival and must have College bathers to compete in. These are available from the College Uniform shop. Boys have the option of wearing the College blue racing skins.
There will be no canteen facilities for the team, so each member must bring their lunch, water bottle and any other food required for the day.
Parents are welcome to attend the day as spectators. The first event commences at 9.00am.聽

Dr Justin Coulson is one of Australia’s most respected relationships speakers, authors, and researchers.聽He is one of very few people in Australia with a PhD in Positive Psychology – and the ONLY person in the country (and almost the world) whose PhD includes a careful look at the intersection of Positive Psychology and relationships, particularly in family life. Dr Coulson will be presenting the following session:
How to get along with your kids and help them get along with you (and their siblings).
We all saw we get along just fine at home… but there are those uncomfortable niggles. There’s the eye-rolling, the disrespect, the lack of motivation to help out, and the sibling warfare. If we’re honest, most adults have been known to shout a bit too, and let’s face it, we don’t always listen that well to our kids.
Conflict and friction at home cause more trouble than we need, and interfere with everyone’s wellbeing. Wouldn’t it be great if there were some simple, practical things we could do to help everyone get along better – starting right now?
In this session, you’ll learn the best ‘relationship rules’ for a happier family so home life really does feel loving… most of the time聽followed by a Question and Answer session.
