Easter and the sacred story of Jesus’ death and resurrection is the most important Christian festival and the one that is celebrated with great passion. As Christians, we believe that Christ undertook suffering and death willingly on our behalf, in obedience to God the Father

St Edward’s College holds at the very heart of its foundation a commitment to the promotion of respectful and inclusive relationships. We are in a unique position as an all-boys school to foster in our young men a deep understanding of the role that they play in working alongside the women in their life in becoming part of the solution to the inequities that exist in society today.

The College has introduced an opportunity for students in Years 8-11 to participate in a leadership role within the school with the introduction of a Leadership program titled “Be the Voice”. This program is an initiative of the Pastoral Team and is led by our Deputy Principal Mr Jay Sutton and Director of Pastoral Care Mr Paul English.

We gathered as a community on Tuesday February 9 to celebrate the Commencement Mass to begin the school year. We thank Father Greg for joining us in this celebration. This important event provides the opportunity for us to unite in prayer for the year ahead, asking the Lord for guidance, courage and resilience in the pursuit of our own goals as individuals and as a community in striving to be the best we can be.

Welcome to all our new families to the St Edward's College community. We are very excited about the year that lies ahead, the challenges of last year when we all had to adapt and respond to the every changing social landscape due to COVID-19, provided us with an opportunity to grow, learn and try new approaches to the way in which we teach, communicate with families and organise our day to day operations. We are very thankful to families for the support they have given us during what has been a difficult period.

It is with great sadness that I inform members of our community of the passing of Wendy Weir, the College’s Property Maintenance Supervisor on Saturday November 28. Wendy was inspirational to all who knew her for the way in which she battled cancer over a fourteen-year period, never complaining or asking for special consideration.
