Prep Class visited The Channel History Museum

On Wednesday the Prep class visited the Channel History Museum. It was a wonderful way for the children to gain an understanding of what our local area was like a hundred years ago and to learn about what has changed. The museum is entirely run by volunteers and it really is a credit to their dedication that the children were able to have such a glimpse into "the olden days!'

Visiting St Mary’s for the Installation of Archbishop Anthony Ireland

College Captain Heidi Turnbull, College Student Leader Riley Brereton, and our Principal, Mr Joe Sandric, joined representatives from all Catholic schools in the Hobart region to attend the Installation of The Most Reverend Anthony John Ireland at St Mary’s Cathedral.

Following the ceremony, our students had the opportunity to reconnect with our Parish Priest, Fr Warren.

The College community extends our warmest congratulations to Archbishop Anthony and wishes him every blessing in his new role as our pastoral leader. He can be assured of our ongoing support and prayers.
