Faith, Mission and Community News - 26 March 2026

  • In Harmony Week, we celebrated the many cultures that make up our community.
  • Next Tuesday, we gather for the Easter Liturgy, Caritas fun with the Solidarity Walk and Carnival fundraising for Project Compassion.

Last week, our College proudly celebrated Harmony Week, a national celebration that recognises Australia’s rich cultural diversity and promotes inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for all. 

Throughout the week, students and staff participated in a range of engaging activities, including chalking “hello” in different languages across the campus, enjoying cultural music during lunchtime, and taking part in traditional Indigenous games on the oval at Coolock. These activities provided a meaningful and engaging way to acknowledge and celebrate the many cultures that make up our community. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together and celebrate the rich diversity at Catherine McAuley College Bendigo

Last Day of Term

Next Tuesday, 31 March, our College community will pause to come together for our Easter Liturgy, a time of reflection, hope, and preparation for the Easter season, while also fundraising for Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. At our Coolock Campus, students will take part in the Solidarity Walk along the O’Keefe Trail, and at St Mary’s Campus, students will enjoy a lunchtime carnival in support of this important cause. These activities provide meaningful ways for students to live out the Gospel call to compassion and justice. We sincerely thank our students and families who have generously supported this year’s Project Compassion fundraising campaign,
