CELEBRATING SERVICE, FAITH AND COMMITMENT

As Term 1 ends, there is much to celebrate across our College community, with students demonstrating commitment, compassion, and engagement in learning beyond the classroom.

A standout experience this term was the Year 9 Community Service Program, involving 62 students across five days (see the article below for details of the program).

Across the Term, House Chapel gatherings and Easter Services at both Penquite and Elphin campuses provided meaningful moments for reflection and connection. As the College community journeyed toward Easter, students were invited to consider themes of commitment, service, hope, and renewal—values that continue to shape our shared life.

Students also demonstrated outstanding commitment in co‑curricular activities. In sport, students represented the College with pride across basketball, rowing, swimming, and athletics, showing perseverance, teamwork, and sportsmanship. In the Performing Arts, participation in public speaking and Ethics Olympiad provided opportunities for students to develop confidence, critical thinking, and respectful dialogue.

As we head into the end of Term 1 break, we give thanks for the energy and effort shown by our students across service, faith, sport, and the arts. We wish all students, and those staff and families who are able, a peaceful and refreshing April/May Term break, and look forward to another Term of learning and growth together.
