On Holy Thursday, College Principal, David Mezinec served up hot cross buns to students who attended breakfast club before school. Students enjoyed the treat of not only the hot cross buns, but also the novelty of their Principal making them breakfast!
Holy Thursday also saw Year 6 and 7 students involved in the Project Compassion Middle School Caritas A-thon. Students and staff set off up the Sugar Loaf trail to raise money for Caritas. During Lent, Religion classes learnt about the vital work of Caritas throughout the world and the difference our fundraising can make to the lives of others.

This is a day (Easter Sunday) of great joy and hope for all peoples of the world.”
