Principal’s Welcome
New Student Entrance, officially opened on the 30th of March by Senator David Van.
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to the 2021 Winter edition of Always Aloysius. Although we are only nearing the midpoint of the year, it has already proven to be one of great opportunity, new learnings and certainly one that is living up to our 2021 College theme of Hospitality. This edition reflects this, with features on the Student High Achievers of 2020. We have also welcomed and farewelled staff and students, and improved school facilities which were officially opened by Senator David Van. Whilst we are preparing for 2023, when we will welcome the first group of boys at Year 7 and become the first Catholic coeducation College in the inner City of Melbourne, we are reminded that schools
are always places where the present is a wonderful mix of the past and the future and I think this edition demonstrates that St Aloysius College is certainly in that space.
experiences our girls are exposed to. Perhaps rather than ‘always’ we should just recognise that we are all part of ‘wonderful Aloysius’. Enjoy the read, and the Winter. In the footsteps of Catherine McAuley,
Our focus is always on ensuring that the history and traditions of the College are honoured and lived, and that twentyfirst century opportunities, facilities and thinking grow. We are always Striving for Higher Things....and, as such, we chose Hospitality as our College theme.
