Uganda Project

We continue to build on the very positive relationships that has been established between Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs and St Luke’s parish, as well as our sister school St Francis Primary School in Kizinga Uganda.

By reaching out in friendship and solidarity with the community of St Francis, Kizinga we have given hope to hundreds of children and their families who otherwise could not access education. The support of our students has enabled the construction and furnishing of a brick classroom, a food program, the refurbishment of the church with a concrete floor and soon the installation of water tanks.

Compassion, empathy and love for one another are the cornerstones of our teaching at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs and we are immensely proud of our community for continuing to embrace the Uganda Project.

Father Emma Kiwanuka Parish Priest at St Luke’s Mannya recently delivered to St Francis Kizinga Primary School the produce for their food program, that we as a College community provide through our fundraising initiatives.

The St Francis community sent the following video messages of thanks to our CRCCS community:

CRC Caroline Springs Parents & Friends Association

This year we are looking to further develop our Parents & Friends Association as we see this as a very important support group for our College. Unfortunately, last year due to COVID-19 restrictions we were unable to meet regularly and hold our usual social events. Meetings are open to and attended by interested parents/carers, friends of the College, teachers and administrative staff as well as the Principal, or one of the Deputy Principals.

Everyone is welcome to come and meet other parents, to learn more about our wonderful College, as well as participate and share in general discussion (often relating to significant issues about College events). We are currently awaiting an update to the CECV School Operations Guide to provide further information regarding the Health and Safety Guidelines for these meetings. Further information regarding the first meeting to be held in early Term 2 will be made available in the coming weeks.

We would like for interested parents to please email the College at: principal@crccs.vic.edu.au
