Our first few weeks back have been filled with energy and action with all our students getting to know each other in their new classes, with new teachers and then of course school photos, Opening Mass, House Welcome Evening, the Aspire9 Launch and our House Swimming Carnival.
House Swimming Carnival
It was fantastic to see so many of our students decked out in House colours and participating in so many events.
Congratulations to Sebastian House (again) and Mr Sean Egan for taking out the trophy. Well done also to Assisi House and Ms Kate Swift who came in second as well congratulations to Romero House and Mrs Josie Luppino who came in one the podium in third. A great day all round!
New to the Leadership Team on the Mornington 7-9 Campus in 2024 is Ms Kate Swift, Assisi House Co-ordinator. We wish Kate well and welcome her to Padua as she moves into this Leadership role after having previously been a House Leader at Sacred Heart College, Geelong.
All other Leadership roles in the Junior Campus remain as they were in 2024, and we look forward to consolidating the growth already achieved as we continue to settle into out amazing Coolock Learning Centre.
I welcome all students and families who are new to the College and look forward to working with you over the years ahead. Myself, the Assistant Heads of Campus, House Co-ordinator Team and Homeroom Teaching Team will continue to provide support for your sons and daughters in the year ahead on their learning journey.
At Padua College we want every student to recognise and utilise their God given talents, to be the best that they can be, and to make a positive impact on their world. This is our North Star and our guiding light. It encompasses our 'why' at Padua College, and allows us to align our vision, values and actions. Students are encouraged to understand how they learn, and are motivated to extend themselves beyond limited horizons to fulfil their true potential. We want every person to:
My sincere hope and prayer, is that, each child in the Mornington 7-9 Campus is able to aim for their North Star and make a positive impact on their world in 2025.
Wishing you all continued blessings.
