Catholic Education Week 2019 celebrated at Glenorchy

Last Sunday saw the beginning of Catholic Education Week. This is a special time when we acknowledge how unique and special our Catholic schools are.

Catholic Education Week 2019

This Sunday, 19 March, marks the commencement of Catholic Education Week in Tasmania. Next week is designated as a time to celebrate the achievements of Catholic schools. In particular for us, it is a time to honour the great educational legacy provided to us by the Salesians of Don Bosco and the Dominican Sisters who together, had the vision to establish ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ as the first coeducational Catholic secondary school in southern Tasmania in 1973.

International Women's Day breakfast 2019

Thank you to the members of the ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ community who joined together for our International Womenâ€™s Day Breakfast on Tuesday morning. It was a brilliant gathering with 250 people in attendance and a great atmosphere of celebration and solidarity with women and girls across the globe.

Fr Peter on Lent

In teaching we are always looking at ways and means to improve student learning. The days of â€˜chalk and talkâ€™ are long gone. New teaching strategies focus on engagement of the student in their own learning and students taking ownership of the process.

Lent Commences with Ash Wednesday

â€‹We mark the commencement of the Church season of Lent with Ash Wednesday, 6 March, and which will conclude on Holy Saturday, 20 April, the day before Easter. There will be Mass in the ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ Chapel at 7.30am on Ash Wednesday. All parents and students are welcome.

7-10 Assembly 27 February

On Wednesday 27 February, we had our first 7-10 Assembly. It was an excellent opportunity for our 2019 College Captains Maddi and Lachie, and Vice Captains Ella and Tom to lead our assembly. We had a number of presentations, specifically ensuring students were aware of the Sport and Creative Arts opportunities in 2019.

Year 7 Bible Liturgy

On Friday 15 February, Year 7 students were presented with their bibles from ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬ in a special Bible Liturgy.

Opening College Mass

â€‹Every year at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ»ÆÆ¬, we plan that the very first time we gather as a whole school community, that it will be in prayer. On Wednesday, 13 February, all students and staff (except Kindergarten) gathered in the Savio Centre to pray. Our focus was to give thanks to God for our College community and to ask God to guide us and watch over us throughout the year.

Our Salesian Priests and Brothers
