CELEBRATING 200 YEARS This year across Australia, we celebrate 200 years of Catholic Education. On Monday 24 May, masses were held nationally on the Feast of our Lady of Help of Christians, as part of celebrations. A group of student representatives, along with Principal, Ms Rita Grima and Head of Faith and Mission, Ms Renee Fleeton, headed to St Patrick’s Cathedral, joining representatives from schools across Melbourne, to attend the mass. Celebrations will continue throughout the year. Visit 200years.catholic.edu.au for more information. (Right) St Columba’s College students attend mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral.

This year’s College Opening Eucharist was a special event for the St Columba’s College community. On the 11th March, we gathered together as a community in one space, it was the first time we were able to do this in more than a year. Lead by Auxiliary Bishop Terry Curtin, we reflected on all that we had endured in 2020 and welcomed the beginning of new year, with particular focus on our timely College theme of Hope.
