Holy Thursday Easter Liturgy

On Holy Thursday the St Edward’s and St Joseph’s communities came together to participate in a liturgy that highlighted the important Easter messages of love, hope and sacrifice. The liturgy was led by senior students from both Colleges and the talents of students from both schools were on display with outstanding music and drama performances. It is special occasions like this Easter Liturgy that showcase the wonderful relationship that exists between St Edward’s and St Joseph’s in providing a Catholic Education for young people on the Central Coast. A values-based education which challenges students to think deeply about the type of young person they wish to be. We look forward to creating a increased range of co-educational experiences with St Joseph’s into the future.

I would like to congratulate and thank the many staff and students who worked together to bring the Easter Liturgy to life. We are blessed to have such great talent within our two schools.

 

 

Winter Uniform

Families are reminded that at the commencement of Term 2, all students are required to wear their full winter school uniform Monday to Thursday, consisting of the College blazer, College shirt, long pants and tie. The College tracksuit is to be worn on Friday by students in Years 7-10 while our senior students continue to wear their winter uniform. Parents and students are reminded that skate shoes are not considered appropriate sporting shoes and are not to be worn in PE lessons or on Friday. Students are not permitted to wear their College tracksuit top or any other non-school jumper with their winter uniform and that only the College jumper or College Blazer or Senior Jacket are to be worn.

End of Term Message

I would like to congratulate and thank students who have applied themselves to so many of the academic, spiritual, social justice and extra-curricular activities throughout the term. The Term 1 Interim Reports will be available on the College Portal on Friday April 12.  These reports provide important feedback to students and families in relation to the newly developed College Learner Profile. I encourage students to take time to reflect on the information provided in these reports to assist them in establishing learning goals for the remainder of the year.

The holiday break provides a good opportunity to relax and reflect on the start to the year and to re-energise for the term ahead. I wish all students and their families a safe and happy holiday.  Monday April 29 is a gazetted Staff Development Day and there are no classes scheduled for this day. Term 2 classes will commence on Tuesday April 30.
