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!

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.
