Our Junior Boys Football Team has done it! After a successful group stage campaign and a heroic effort in the semi-final, the boys booked their spot in the grand final match against St Andrew’s College. Both teams showed grit and determination as they played in pouring rain and strong winds. The game had all in attendance on the edge of their seats, with big tackles, tremendous saves, near misses, and some impressive passages of play going end to end. Both teams gave their all and, with the clock ticking away and the game still scoreless, it looked as if a penalty shootout would be the only way to separate them. Then, with only 40 seconds remaining, the St Columba's boys broke the deadlock, with their corner tactic routine paying off and giving them the crown! Congratulations to the team and enormous thanks to the hardworking and dedicated coach Mr Flaherty.

✨ The St Columba's Astronomy Night - a brilliant night under the stars! ✨ A huge thank you to Angel, Claudia, and Charlie from Macquarie University for running the show and bringing the wonders of the universe to life - your passion and knowledge made the night truly unforgettable! Despite the cold winds, our community showed up in force, bundled up and ready to explore the night sky. The clear skies gave us the perfect backdrop for some spectacular stargazing, and the energy and excitement were absolutely contagious.

IGNITE FOOD DRIVE The St Columba's community is taking part in the Ignite Food Bank Drive, with year groups competing to bring in the most-needed items for our local Ignite Food Store. The winning year level will earn House Points. 📦 Only specified items from the Top 20 List will be counted towards the competition; however, all donations are welcome and appreciated. 💬 Why it matters: With the rising cost of living, many people in our community are doing it tough, including young families, the elderly, people facing homelessness, and those escaping domestic violence. The Ignite Food Store, run by Jesuit Social Services, supports thousands of people every year, offering hope, dignity, and essential food to those in need. Your generosity makes a real difference!
