Our students have certainly embraced the full flourishing life of Padua College. Indeed, in John’s Gospel Jesus directs us to live our lives in this way, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10: 10.
Reminders
Could I please ask parents to access the Main Reception (not Village Administration) should you require a face-to-face meeting with a Year 7-9 campus staff member. Due to Child Safe requirements, we must have parents sign in via appropriate channels. Thank you for your support in this space.
Winter Uniform is required for all students from 1 May, please ensure uniform as per the College student organiser is in place for the changeover date.
Year 7 Camp
Our Year 7 students have returned from camp at Ferngully Lodge in Healesville and have had a great opportunity to be with the other student members in their House as well as getting to know their House Co-ordinator and a number of other staff.
Students were able to participate in the zip line, giant swing, the leap of faith, survivor, a trivia night, House Liturgy, and other fun activities.
Sincere thanks to the staff who gave up time away from their own families as well as a commendation to our Year 9 Leaders who ran a number of activities.
Particular thanks to Mr Patrick Janes Assistant Head of Campus – Student Wellbeing and Growth, along with each of the Year 7-9 House Co-ordinator team - Mr Sean Egan, Mrs Rebecca Haas, Mrs Josie Luppino, Mr Matthew Laurie, Mrs Jodie Williams, Mr Matthew Price, Mrs Beth Meades, and Mrs Kelscha Hutchison - who each led their respective camp groups. All reports indicate that the camps were an opportunity for growth and a step along the road that we each must take as we move into and through the 'teenage years'. Please enjoy some photos below.
Wishing you continued blessings.
