R E U N I O N S TA K E T W O Last year meant the cancellation of a number of our events, but we were pleased to be able to welcome our 2019 graduates back onsite for the One Year On reunion on Wednesday 24 February 2021 and our ‘0 graduates on Saturday 27 March 2021. It was wonderful to have our alumnae back onsite and enjoying the time to catch up with their school friends.
PARENT ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE The year has started with a bang for the Parent Engagement Committee (PEC). In Term 1, the PEC hosted our new families for a meet and greet. It was a wonderful evening, and the warm weather allowed for an outdoor event. Families came away from the evening feeling connected and valued, as new members of the St Columba’s College community. In Term 2, the PEC held their annual Father/Male Mentor and Daughter evening for our Year 7 to 9 families. With a turnout of more than 120 people, the night was filled with fun, food and great times. Keep an eye out for more PEC events later in the year.
