College Leaders

During Semester 1 each year, students in Years 3-6 can apply for College Leader. Any students in Years 3 – 6 who have shown that they lead by improving the lives of others at the College through continuous and ongoing service, can apply to be a College Leader.

To apply for a position, we ask students to write a letter to Mrs O’Donnell outlining the service that they are already involved in, frequency and impact that this has on the College. Letters can be brought to front Reception.

The presentation and announcement of this responsibility will happen twice a year. College leaders will be presented at our Assembly on 22 March this Term.

Welcome to New Students

Last week, we were able to welcome our new students from Stage 1 to Stage 3 with a milkshake with a mate at our Mango Café. It is exciting to welcome so many new families to our College. 

Stage 2 and 3 Swimming Carnival

A reminder that parents of our Stage 2 and 3 students are very welcome to attend and assist at the Swimming Carnival on Tuesday 20 February.

At this stage you should have received your order forms, if these have been misplaced please contact Reception to be able to provide you with your Shootkey to complete your order online before 21 February 2024.

Families wishing to have sibling photographs can collect an order form from Reception and will need to arrive at the CCC between 8:15 and 8:30 am as per the schedule below.

Drop Off

In the mornings, we ask that students keep their bags with them and not drop them to their classroom areas until 8.20am. There will be a bell that rings to signal this time. Students may access the Western Carpark, Pavilion and Café or Gotfredson area prior to this time. There is space for them to place their bags there while they wait.
