"On Tuesday evening, the College celebrated the annual SA ACEL Awards.

 

Our Year 12 First Nations Captains, Mia and Aleah, led the Welcome and Acknowledgement of Country for the event. They represented our Cardijn community with great pride, honouring Indigenous peoples past, present and emerging, and were outstanding ambassadors for our school.

 

As last year’s Australian Council for Educational Leaders (SA) Alby Jones Gold Medal Award recipient, our Principal, Steve Byrne, delivered the Alby Jones Oration at this year’s awards. Drawing on his experience across 102 school terms as a principal, Steve shared insights and wisdom gained throughout his leadership journey.

 

He challenged us to reflect on our vocation and consider our calling in life. For many of us, that calling is to teach. Steve reminded us that our work is not just a profession, but a calling to serve with purpose and compassion."

Time: 7pm (show runtime is approximately 45 minutes to an hour)

Learn today. Work tomorrow. 

Approximately half of Cardijn students graduate with both their South Australian Certificate of Education and a nationally recognised vocational qualification. VET programs provide practical, hands-on learning that develops workplace skills and industry knowledge while students are still at school. 

The Pathways Expo is the only opportunity to have all of our Registered Training Organisations together in one location. Students and families can explore course options, discuss entry requirements, understand SACE credits, and discover how vocational training can support future employment and further study. 

Meet with our VET team and learn how VET can become part of your pathway from Year 10 onwards. 

• Read and interpret drawings and diagrams.
• Accurately measure and mark out materials.
• Safely use hand tools and power tools.
• Cut, shape, and join materials.

The Premier’s Reading Challenge recently gifted Marian's Library with some guest passes to attend Adelaide Crows home games!

To acknowledge the students who have already submitted their reading records for the Premier’s Reading Challenge, a special draw took place at lunchtime on Wednesday in Kolbe house.

Congratulations to Lucas (Year 8), who is the winner of the first guest pass for himself and three others to attend an Adelaide Crows home game of his choosing.

Library staff will provide more opportunities to win a guest pass as we continue with the Premier’s Reading Challenge until September.

The Year 5 students recently enjoyed an exciting day visiting the Migration Museum and South Australian Museum.

As part of their HASS learning, students explored exhibits about Australia's history including Aboriginal cultures, colonisation and migration over the years.

The excursion provided fun and interesting opportunities to further understand many different perspectives and make connections to their learning.
