⭐Student Leaders' Day 2024⭐
Dr Andrew Watson, Director of Catholic Education, invited the student leaders from each of our secondary and boarding schools to meet at Mount Erin Boarding School in Wagga today for the annual CEDWW Student Leaders' Formation Day.

The students were supported by Angie Cooper from Catholic Education, Diocese of Wagga Wagga, and guided by Stephen Lawrence from the Altum Leadership Group, who encouraged them to reflect on their character and how they can become courageous, capable and confident school leaders.
The day concluded with a special Mass led by Bishop Mark Edwards in Mount Erin Chapel.

To celebrate Presentation Day and to mark the conclusion of the Presentation Sister's Sesquicentenary celebrations, the City of Wagga Wagga honoured the sisters today by unveiling a monument on what is now called 'Presentation Way' opposite Jubilee Park in Bourkelands. Over 90 Claret Ash trees have been planted on both sides of the road that the sisters travelled when they first arrived in Wagga Wagga 150 years ago. Congratulations to the sisters and the members of the organising committee, including Susan Miller (Presentation Australia Sisters Wagga), Virginia Pattison (Catholic Diocese of Wagga Wagga), Patrick Donohue (Mt Erin Heritage Centre) and Millie Bright (Mater Dei Catholic College - Wagga Wagga).

What a wonderful legacy these brave woman have left to the Wagga Wagga community. The original Sisters travelled here in 1874. Wagga at that time would have been very primitive and a world away from their families in Ireland. They, and all of the woman who joined the congregation dedicated their lives to others. Thousands of girls and boys were educated in their schools and thousands of men and women benefited and continue to benefit from the ministries they established. The recognition from Wagga Wagga City Council is very fitting and very much deserved. Happy Presentation Day 🙏🏻❤️

How wonderful! Well deserved!!

Fabulous! Well deserved Sisters 🥰👏🏻

Week 5 of term 4 saw the Vocational Education and Training team continuing to review their programs and practices across Certificate III in Fitness and Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care.

These two courses provide students with the training, skills, and knowledge they need to enter each industry as qualified employees. They also guarantee entry into a variety of different universities, as their qualification is nationally recognised.

Thank you to the staff who participated face-to-face and via Zoom in this wonderful professional development opportunity! ... See MoreSee Less
