Our amazing Year 7 debating team competed in the grand final round of the Catholic Schools Debating Association competition last Friday night.
While the girls presented a strong and convincing case, unfortunately they were defeated by their opponents. Despite the girls accepting a graceful defeat, their talent must not be overlooked.
The CSDA Debating Competition is the biggest competition of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, so the fact that our talented ladies made it this far is a huge achievement in itself.
The College community is so proud of the teamwork and determination that they have displayed throughout the entire season, and we are excited to see where 2020 takes them!
Finally, a huge thank you to the families, friends and staff who give up their time each Friday night to support the wonderful work of the debating team!

This morning, our Year 12 student leadership team attended the Dawn Service at McQuade Park in Windsor, joined by a number of students who are RAAF Cadets. Our College Captains, Kurt and Ava Grace, laid a wreath on behalf of the College, and Phebe Dalton contributed to the service by reading a prayer. It was a beautiful and moving service, providing opportunity to reflect and remember the sacrifices of so many who ensured our freedom through their dauntless courage. π Lest we forget.

π©ββοΈπ§ββοΈ Today we hosted our first BPC Careers Breakfast for students from Years 9-12, with a spotlight on the Healthcare Industry. We were both delighted and honoured to welcome back 7 alumni students from the College who have all followed different pathways to take up a variety of incredibly successful roles in healthcare. Our speakers included a Registered Nurse, Doctor, Paramedic, Psychologist, Speech Pathologist, Paediatric Nurse and a Dermatology Nurse. Students and parents gained valuable insights and were inspired with stories of direct and alternate pathways, as well as career success post-school. We would like to thank Laura, Hannah, Mitchell, Phillip, Monica, Michelle and Brad for donating their time and sharing their stories with our community - we are so grateful for your investment and input. πππ We look forward to hosting the next BPC Careers Breakfast in Term 2 - All About Apprenticeships! #bpcpathways
