Last week as a College we focussed on the virtue of Wisdom and character strength: Love of Learning.  In our final term of the year we pray for God’s strength in all our learning endeavours.  

Eternal God 
Bless all schools, colleges, and universities, 
that they may be lively centres 
for sound learning, new discovery, 
and the pursuit of wisdom; 
and grant that those who teach 
and those who learn 
may find you to be 
the source of all truth; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Amen.

NAPLAN Online – Community engagement with NAPLAN Online resources 

Last week’s NAPLAN Online School Readiness Test went extremely well.  Students had a good time exploring the online platform and we will continue to expose them to this testing environment as we proceed towards Online testing in 2020.  There are several resources readily available online for teachers, students and parents to access in preparation for NAPLAN Online.  Those with specific focus for parents will regularly be promoted in in our College Newsletter. Some essential sites for parents to begin exploring are listed below.

We will again collect donations to support St Vincent de Paul’s Christmas Appeal.  We look forward to presenting St Vincent de Paul with amazing hamper supplies again in 2019.  Donations can be placed in the College Office or in Classrooms until Week 8.
