Sesquicentennial 'Back To' Day - Year 9 Encounter - Happy Mother's Day

The Sesquicentennial ‘Back To’ Day was a great occasion for our College community, as we continued to celebrate and reflect on 150 years of our history. It was wonderful to welcome so many past students who joined us for the Jubilee Mass, the book launch, the ceremonial cake cutting, morning tea (that went all day), the art exhibition, and guided tours. A highlight for many was the opportunity to step back in time through the display of historical artefacts and photos in the St Mary’s Hall, sparking memories, reconnecting friendships, and sharing stories from years gone by. Thank you to the Sesquicentenary Committee and their team of volunteers for their exceptional organisation, setup, and hospitality throughout the day. (Read More)

Year 9 Encounter Day

The Year 9 Encounter Day saw students participating enthusiastically in each activity. The high level of student engagement was evident throughout the day, and I thank the staff for creating such a meaningful and well organised day. (Read More)

Year 7 Enrolment 2027

In the first week of May, we opened our doors to hundreds of Year 6 students from a wide range of schools in our region for their Discovery Days. Classrooms were full of activity, with students experiencing the energy and atmosphere of CMCB firsthand and enjoying exploring the Coolock Campus.

Year 7 Enrolment for 2027 closed on 8 May and we thank all those who have lodged an application.

Mother’s Day

Students collaborated with Ms Stephanie Donnellon to create a beautiful tribute video for mothers, which was shared on our socials for Mother’s Day. The following quote from Pope Francis, featured in student diaries, beautifully captures the significance the impact of our mothers. 

“A society without mothers would be a dehumanised society, for mothers are always, even in the worst moments, witnesses of tenderness, dedication and moral strength… Dearest mothers, thank you, thank you for what you are in your family and for what you give to the Church and the world.”

Happy Mother's Day
