Year 7 News – 2 October 2025

STEAM

Students have been learning about forces and are now starting to explore different bridge types. These are Roman arches and a Da Vinci bridge – bridges which are held together by forces alone, no glue, nails, string etc required. A special mention to Georgia J who was the first student to put together the Da Vinci bridge using so many pieces.

NEW FLAGS

Lisa Chesters MP visited the Year 7 final Term 3 Assembly to present our flag-raising team with a new set of Australian flags for Coolock Campus.

MERCY DAY

What a terrific day we had! We are so proud to lead our Year 7 students. We are watching them grow and become more confident as they take their place within our college and feel a sense of truly belonging.
