WEEK FIVE


OPENING OF EARLY LEARNING CENTRE
Thursday 6 March was a very exciting day as we 'moved into" the Early Learning Centre.  Led by the College Captains, the Student Leaders escorted our youngest students down the boulevard through a guard of honour of older students.  College Captains, Teaghan Barone and Giordarna Rigoli, cut the ribbon at the entry to the Centre and the children had the opportunity to look through  the new facility with their Senior buddies, before the adults entered.   It was delightful to hear the exclamations of joy as they explored their new learning spaces. The school community was joined on the day  by architects, builders and representatives from the Catholic Education Office.  Father Richard blessed the children in their new Centre, before they headed off to class.    Once the new secondary building is completed we will have an official blessing and opening of this stage of our building programme.


ACC SWIMMING CARNIVAL
The Associated and Catholic Colleges Swimming Carnival will be held at Challenge Stadium on Tuesday.  Thanks to Mrs Christina DaVini, Mrs Fiona Wainwright, Mr Brendan Buckley and Mr Gareth Elliott for their work in training the students.  Results will be posted on the LIFE@HCC blog after the event.

CAMINO
It is just three weeks now until we leave for our trip to Italy and Spain. Last Sunday we did a training hike up the West Terrace Trail in Kalamunda - it was a good chance for students to continue to break in their hiking boots.  On Monday we will be walking from Leederville Station, around Lake Monger to the Catholic Education Office.  Ms Debra Sayce, Director of Religious Education, will address the students on the topic of Pilgrimage in preparation for our pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella.

OPEN DAY
On Thursday we welcomed about 200 visitors to the College for Open Day.  Thanks to staff who set up the interactive learning displays and to students who assisted on the day.  We had lots of positive feedback, particularly in regard to the welcoming and articulate students who acted as tour guides and assisted with the learning displays.

3 YEAR OLD PROGRAMME
We will begin a 3 year old programme next term.  Parents interested in more information about this programme should contact the College Office.
