As we enter into Term 4, I eagerly look to the Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs community to continue to foster and further develop the already strong relationships with the view to provide the best possible contemporary educational, spiritual and faith experience for our students.
Over the holiday period an enormous amount of work went into preparing facilities such as classrooms, IT facilities, sporting facilities and the College grounds for the students to utilise this semester. I thank the teaching, administrative, support and maintenance staff involved in this important work as it contributes significantly to the comprehensive educational environment for our students.
We are blessed at CRC Caroline Springs to not only have outstanding contemporary, state of the art facilities and resources, but we also have positive, respectful, relationships that permeate all aspects of college life. Our theme for 2024 has been based on 'Respect'. Respect for ‘Self, Others and Environment’. We have a thriving school community that values our strong and present Catholic identity and ethos which embraces our wonderful College motto of ‘Live Fully Act Justly’.
We have continued to have quality learning and teaching occurring every day in the classrooms. We have participated in many co-curricular activities, including SACCSS sporting events and competitions, excursions and incursions, faith and student development days, whole school assemblies and liturgies, music concerts, the recent ‘Live Fully Act Justly’ feast day and a particular highlight of Term 3, was the performing of the College Musical ‘Little Shop of Horrors’, to sell out audiences.
Another highlight of Term 3 was our Live Fully Act Justly day celebrations. It was a day filled with faith, joy, and community. Our students came together to celebrate their spirituality through a beautiful Mass, celebrated by Fr Gerard Keith. This was followed by a whole school assembly where our College Captain candidates for 2025 demonstrated remarkable leadership qualities as they delivered their speeches, outlining their visions for our school’s future. It was heart-warming to witness our students’ dedication to making our college a better place for all.
It gives me great pleasure to announce our college Captains for 2025:
College Captain:
- Jennilyn Magtalas
Deputy College Captains:
- Cienna Victuelles
- Klark Neustro
- Keisha Cortes Alinea
It has been a tradition at our College that on our Live Fully Act Justly Day Celebrations, we also celebrate and honour the teachers and staff who have served our school community with generosity and dedication. They are the ones who have made our school a place of learning, growth, and joy.
We thank them for their years of service, and for the difference they have made in our lives. We are proud of their achievements, and grateful for their service. In appreciation of fifteen years of service we congratulate the following staff: Clara Cremona, Renuka Dhillon and Maria Wasilewski. In appreciation of ten years of service we congratulate the following staff: Hayley Code and Bianca Conforti.
We thank all these staff for supporting our college’s mission to Live Fully and Act Justly and helping us create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone.
We eagerly look forward to Term 4, and immersing ourselves fully in all our college has to offer. May all members of the College community truly live, breathe and enact our College motto of ‘Live Fully Act Justly’.
Mr. Jamie Madigan
Principal
