Justice & Solidarity 

We are committed to local and global justice and peace, grounded in a spirituality of action and reflection. This inspires us to listen to, walk with, and learn from all creation—especially those who experience powerlessness. 

Karanja Visit – A Global Connection 

This week, we were honoured to welcome Karanja, our host and guide during the Edmund Rice immersion experiences in Kenya. Karanja works with young people in Kibera, one of the largest informal settlements in Africa. His visit to our College was a powerful reminder of our connection to the global Edmund Rice network. His work and his message to students—about resilience, hope, and the transformative power of education—was deeply moving and inspiring. 

Liberating Education 

Empowered by liberating teaching and learning experiences, we open our hearts and minds so that we are hope-filled and free to build a better world for all. 

Book Week – Celebrating Storytelling 

We celebrated Book Week with great enthusiasm and creativity. Our library team curated a vibrant program of activities, and it was wonderful to see staff and students embracing the joy of storytelling through dress-ups, shared reading, and literary exploration. These experiences encourage students to think critically, dream boldly, and engage deeply with the world around them. 

Punctuality – Setting the Tone for Learning 

A gentle reminder to all families and students about the importance of arriving to school on time. Punctuality sets a positive tone for the day, supports effective learning, and helps build lifelong habits of responsibility and reliability. It is a sign of respect, for others and for ourselves and reflects the values we uphold as a College community, where integrity, personal responsibility, and commitment to excellence are nurtured. Being on time is a simple yet powerful way students can demonstrate readiness to learn and contribute meaningfully to the day ahead. 

Uniform and Personal Grooming – Pride in Presentation 

We also remind students of the importance of wearing the uniform with pride and maintaining high standards of personal grooming. This includes: 

• Correct haircuts 

• Being clean-shaven 

• Wearing blazers 

• Shirts tucked in 

These expectations are not just about appearance—they promote self-discipline, set a positive tone for the day, and reflect our shared values. When students present themselves well, they are more likely to engage positively in their learning and contribute respectfully to our community. This supports a learning environment where students are prepared for life beyond school.
