Grandparents Day 2016

What a wonderful day we had for our Grandparents Day on Wednesday 14 Spetember! Our students were delighted and overwhelmed by having their Grandparents join them in the classrooms. In particular it was delightful to see Lucy in Year 1A; she was speechless when her Grandparents arrived from Launceston when she wasnâ€™t expecting them to be able to attend.

Franklin v Denison Football and Netball

On Wednesday ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ hosted the annual 5/6 Catholic Denison v Franklin Football and Netball representative matches at the College.

Students enjoy new Rua Hub

It is open for all Year 7â€“10 students before school (8.15-8.35am) and during lunchtime (1.05-1.45pm) each school day. The Rua Hub has a lot of history attached to it. Br Peter Dezani, w

ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬â€™s biennial Creative Arts festival is two weeks away, and when it came time to choose a studentâ€™s art to feature in the publicity for the Festival, the Creative Arts teachers agreed: the artwork of Year 10 student, Kate Lovell, was the first choice! You might have noticed her work adorning our website, or in posters and invitations. Lovely!
