elcome to this first edition of the new St Gregory’s College publication, ‘Hearts & Minds.’ Each semester, the College will publish an edition which will aim to capture many of the events that have taken place throughout the past six months. Each edition will also capture the generous spirit and the warmth of the College community that exists at St Gregory’s. We have chosen to name this publication, ‘Hearts & Minds’ because that name captures the very essence of our community at St Gregory’s College. Each day, staff, students and parents all work together to shape the talented young people in our care. Our work is collaborative and when our students open their hearts and minds to all the possibilities and opportunities that exist at St Gregory’s, then magic happens, and our students take part in a wonderful journey to becoming agile graduates of the College.
Over the past six months, the College has continued to ‘blossom’ in so many ways. Our Junior School is at capacity in terms of enrolments and the rollout of the Primary Years Program learning framework (as part of the International Baccalaureate) continues to grow in stature. The Senior School certainly has a spring in its step this year following the outstanding Higher School Certificate results from the 2020 cohort. Learning and teaching are very much at the heart of what we do at St Gregory’s. We are fortunate to have a teaching staff who are committed and dedicated, ensuring our students receive the very best “all round’ education possible. My hope is that each edition provides insights into the dynamic life of the College at St Gregory’s. At the heart of the education we offer at St Gregory’s is our determination to pass on to the students we educate,
