Welcome back to our returning families, we look forward to building on the successes of last year and continuing to support your child’s growth and development in 2025. In addition, we offer a special welcome to our new families—we are excited to have you join the Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs community and look forward to partnering with you to make the most of your child’s time at the College.

Although only two weeks in for our students, our staff have been busy preparing to ensure a productive and rewarding start to the year for all students, with a range of opportunities and experiences planned to extend learning beyond the classroom. Whether in faith, social, academic, or sporting contexts, each opportunity offered has been thoughtfully designed to help students grow, build friendships, and create lasting memories.

Term 1 is shaping up to be particularly exciting, with various camps, a visit from our Italian sister school, our College Swimming Carnival, and the start of the Year 10 Premier League, to name a few. These events offer students wonderful opportunities to connect, learn, and explore new experiences.

All College camps and excursions will be communicated well in advance via the Operoo platform, where you’ll find consent forms and other important information. Our Experiential Learning Coordinator, Ms Linda Bracco, has provided further insight into the Operoo platform in this newsletter edition.

Below you will find a snapshot of key dates for Term 1, and we encourage you to continue to engage with our newsletters to hear more about these experiences as they take place.
