Edmund Rice Camp

The annual Edmund Rice Camp was held in the second week of the holidays, with 23 of our current senior students joining numerous past students to put on a camp to remember. The ‘Big Buddies’ worked hard to ensure that their ‘Little Buddy’ had an amazing time. Activities this year included a trip to the pool, a ride on the train at the Botanical Gardens, tie dying and a Talent Show. Once again, the camp was a wonderful living example of how the College continues the work of Blessed Edmund Rice in our local community.

Year 11 Retreat

In the last week of Term 3 the Year 11 cohort travelled to Alexandra Headlands for a three-day retreat. The retreat program, as in previous years, was facilitated by Michael Fitzpatrick. The Year 11 students engaged in the planned activities and discussions with a wonderful attitude. Many of the students went well outside of their usual comfort zone and they have all returned ready to embrace the role of student leaders.
