We were blessed with warm Autumn weather for Tuesday’s Athletics Day; thankfully, the rain held off until later in the day!

Well done to all the students who participated and earned points for their house and demonstrated such enthusiastic team spirit. Thank you to all staff members and our senior VET Sport and Recreation students whose work ensured the day ran so smoothly.

Congratulations to McAuley House who claimed the Overall Championship Trophy for the second year in a row. (Read Athletics Carnival report)

Camp Week

Camps for our Year 8 and 9 students at Anglesea, Falls Creek, the Grampians, and Apollo Bay were an outstanding success, with positive feedback received from both students and staff.

The variety of venues provided rich and engaging experiences, enabling students to challenge themselves, strengthen friendships, and build resilience. Staff have commented on the high level of student conduct and cooperation, which made the camps an enjoyable experience for all involved. Thank you to everyone who supported, organised, and attended these camps. (Read more about the camps in Year 8 News and Year 9 News)

Year 7 2027

The Learning Walks this week have been at capacity and we have been delighted to welcome so many Year 6 families considering enrolment at CMCB for 2027. These took place during school hours at the Coolock Campus, to provide families with an authentic insight into learning and teaching at our College.

There are further walks tomorrow and Monday, then we will open our doors again in April and May for Discovery Days for Year 6 students, and additional Learning Walks. Enrolments are now open online for Year 7 2027. The closing date is Friday 8 May. (Book a visit and find out more about Year 7 Enrolment for 2027)

Harmony Week

We pray for the grace to tear down walls that divide us and build bridges of understanding.

We thank you for the gift of cultural diversity in our country and in our College.

Help us to listen more deeply and connect more closely with others who may have a different viewpoint or background.

May we work for unity amongst all your people.

We make this prayer in Jesus’ name

Amen.
