Our new Creativity Hub is rising. Work is well underway, and it’s exciting to watch the progress as our builders pour the concrete slabs and begin to install precast panels on the ground floor.
Watch this space for more updates next term.
Last Thursday, 12 September, was R U Ok? Day 2024, a significant event dedicated to promoting mental health and fostering supportive conversations.
This year’s theme, Every Conversation Counts, encouraged everyone to engage in meaningful dialogue and offer genuine support to one another.
As the date was the same as the College's Celebration Day, we acknowledged R U OK? Day on Friday 13 September.
Throughout the day, students and staff participated in various activities to raise awareness about mental wellbeing.
In Mentor Group time, students watched R U Ok? Day videos that focused on the four steps to start a conversation and were reminded to check in on each other. Watch now
During Big Break, Bernard House invited all staff and students to make a beaded bracelet with a message for themselves or their friends. It was wonderful to see students from all houses take part. Our staff were also encouraged to chat with each other over a cupcake.
Cobblebank student leaders and one of our newest staff members, counsellor Angela Lim, were featured in a short clip on social media by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) last week, reminding us to check in with our friends and family on R U OK? Day and every day!

Let’s keep the spirit of R U OK? Day alive daily by continuing to check in on each other and fostering a caring and connected school environment.

Our students will participate in presentations from the Cyber Safety Project tomorrow, Thursday 19 September.
The organisation’s mission is to provide communities with future skills, lifelong habits and self-regulation when using digital technologies for work, life and play. It is endorsed by the eSafety Commissioner, and its educational programs and proactive teaching strategies will help our students participate safely and responsibly in a digital world.
The topic for Year 7 students is Thriving Online. Connecting with others online is fun but it’s important to be mindful of our safety. Students will explore the differences between personal, private and public spaces and carefully consider the types of information they share online.
Cybercriminals use tactics to mislead, deceive and extort online, so it’s important to be aware of potentially risky online behaviours, particularly when making friends online.
With the rapid spread of images and videos online, it is essential for students to understand the risks of sharing intimate content. Students will uncover the key steps to take control of their digital footprint and know where to get help and report abuse and cyberbullying.
Year 8 students will explore My Place in a Digital World.
It’s crucial to understand how personal data can be used and how to take steps to protect our privacy. Students will uncover how easy it is to unconsciously expose personal data, such as location sharing and how to avoid oversharing online.
With a focus on learning how to participate in respectful and safe online relationships, they will explore sextortion and Image-Based Abuse (IBA), discussing the risks of sharing intimate content.
Presenters will highlight Digital Citizenship Laws including cyber-bullying and IBA. When something goes wrong online, two in three young people would seek help from a friend first.
Students will learn how to support a friend experiencing online harassment or bullying and how to help them report it.
Our College mobile phone policy has been updated to include guidelines for students' use of headphones.
Below is a summary from the policy for your reference:
Headphones must be kept out of sight in a student’s pocket, pencil case, laptop bag or anywhere appropriate for safe storage.
Headphones must not be used during break times.
Only wired headphones may be used during class time when directed by a teacher, psychologist or Learning Diversity Leader. They must be plugged into the College laptop.
Students who use their headphones inappropriately at the College will be issued with consequences consistent with our existing Behaviour Management Procedure.
The use of headphones in breach of this policy will result in the item being confiscated and stored at student reception until the end of the school day.
