Many families at our College, and certainly in the community of Alice Springs, have relatives and friends affected by these stressful events.

Unfortunately the date for this meeting was not included in this year’s calendar. Please note that the meeting is scheduled for the Tuesday, not the normal Thursday slot. The meeting will conclude the matters of the 2010 Executive, in readiness for the Annual General Meeting in March 2011. Our Year 12’s will be on retreat for three days during the coming week, from 16 th -18 th February. This time away from normal classes will be a special get- together for these students as they consider the journey ahead; their last year of secondary schooling.

Lately our thoughts and prayers have focussed on our fellow
Australians who have been devastated in recent times with the
on-going barrage of natural disasters. Many families at our
College, and certainly in the community of Alice Springs, have
relatives and friends affected by these stressful events. In
response, our REMAR students have coordinated a fund raising effort that will
be held tomorrow at each of the campuses.
Despite the vagaries of the local weather, a number of activities have been held
during recent days. The swimming lessons for years 6 and 8 have commenced
and will continue for several weeks, while on last Tuesday all of our year 9’s
gathered for a reflection day to focus on their goals for the coming year. Last
evening it was good to welcome many parents and their sons and daughters,
from years 9 to 12, to a gathering at the Sadadeen campus
Due to the lateness of our Opening School Mass this year, to accommodate the
proposed opening of the new College hall on 18th March 2011, it has been
decided, just for this year, to issue the student leaders with their badges of
office at simple ceremonies at each campus. The leaders at the Traeger campus
were inducted on last Friday’s campus assembly, while at the Sadadeen
campus, a similar ceremony will coincide with tomorrow’s presentation of an
award to the 2010 Dux of the College, Samuel Heckathorn. The Bath Street
leaders were announced today. All the 2011 student leaders will be
acknowledged in the liturgy for the Opening School Mass, as well.
During the next fortnight (Weeks Four and Five) our College Advisory Board
and the Parents’ and Friends’ Association will begin their regular round of
meetings for the year. These groups play a central role in the life of the College
and provide an important focus for parental involvement.
The Advisory Board will meet on Monday, 14th February at 6.30pm (Board
members, please note the later start due to a calendar clash with the Finance
Committee) while the P&F meeting will be held on Tuesday, 22nd February,
commencing at 7.30pm. Unfortunately the date for this meeting was not
included in this year’s calendar. Please note that the meeting is scheduled for
the Tuesday, not the normal Thursday slot. The meeting will conclude the
matters of the 2010 Executive, in readiness for the Annual General Meeting in
March 2011.
Our Year 12’s will be on retreat for three days during the coming week, from
16th-18th February. This time away from normal classes will be a special get-
together for these students as they consider the journey ahead; their last year of
Nibblies will be provided and the bar will be available to purchase drinks for 18+.
Bring your family and friends down for a swim and enjoy a
relaxing afternoon.
