What a night! Last night, St Columba’s proudly hosted our Inaugural Academic Showcase Evening and it was a huge success! With 77 students sharing their incredible work from Semester 1, the evening was a true celebration of learning, creativity, and passion. From learning how to fish to exploring what makes horror films so scary, and even uncovering the secrets to the perfect cupcake – there was something for everyone. Art, music, science, English, history – every subject came to life through our students’ hard work and curiosity. A massive well done to all involved – your pride and enthusiasm were truly inspiring.

We had another great session of The Feed at the College yesterday!

Lisa was accompanied by Spencer and Ayusha, trainee Environmental Health Officers currently studying at Western Sydney University. It was a fascinating insight into the vital work they do to keep our communities safe and healthy.
