Director of Campus Report
Last week we welcomed our Year 7 students to the Rosebud Campus and we are already well settled and ready for a big year.
Congratulations to our McAuley Sports Captain, Cassie McCarthy, Year 9 McAuley 3, for her achievement in the 42nd Australian Minnow Championships. The competition was held at McRae Yacht Club from 2-8 January this year and Cassie placed 3rd overall and was awarded 1st female. Well done Cassie. We look forward to you sharing your gifts through your leadership role this year.
We encourage you all to inform us of your children's achievements so we can share their story, celebrate together and give them the recognition they deserve.
Upcoming events for the Rosebud Campus include:
Opening Assembly - Friday 7 February
College Assembly - Tuesday 11 February
Swim Carnival - Friday 14 February
Aspire 9 Launch - Wednesday 19 February
Opening College Mass - Thursday 20 February

St Vinnies Bushfire Appeal
When we gather for our whole College Opening Assembly next Tuesday 11 February, we will take the opportunity to have a school-wide appeal for the St Vinnies Bushfire Appeal. The assembly will include a liturgy focusing on the College Year of Light and how we can be a light to others, particularly in their darkest times. We ask that students bring a gold coin donation if they are able to do so.
We thank you for your support.

Padua College Rugby Top
Padua has introduced a new rugby top for students to wear with their sports uniform. It is replacing the polar fleece, but is being phased in gradually so it’s not an immediate cost for parents.
Year 7s are to wear the rugby top and/or soft shell jacket over their PE polo top for sport. Students in all other year levels (8-12) can still wear the polar fleece with their sports uniform on the days they have PE, or the new rugby top if parents wish to purchase them.
The rugby tops are not to be worn as an alternative to the blazer.
The cost for the rugby top is $85.00 and they can be purchased through the Dobsons uniform shops at Padua’s Mornington and Rosebud Campuses.
