CURRICULUM
Year 11
The Year 11, Unit 2 Assessment Schedule is now available.
Year 10
Students commenced their Block Exams on Wednesday 12 June. See timetable link below. As it is a Block Exam period, students only need to attend school when they have an exam. However, I understand that it may be difficult for some families to organise transport so supervised study is available for students in the Library.
Please note the following:
- Food deliveries are not allowed. Students must bring their lunch or purchase food from the Tuckshop.
- Students who leave school and go to public places must change out of their uniform.

RYAN HOUSE HIGH TEA
As part of Catholic Education Week celebrations, Ryan House will be hosting a High Tea, in support of Mercy Works, on Saturday 27 July 2024, commencing at 2pm in the Mercy Centre here at TCC. Spend a perfect afternoon with your family and friends enjoying the entertainment including a multi-draw raffle and silent auction whilst being served a delectable High Tea by the students of Ryan House.
Book your tickets via the link below.
Dear Parents,
Help brew a little goodness for young people in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines who suffer extraordinary hardships through poverty and disadvantage.
You’re invited to donate a Multi-Draw Prize for our Ryan House High Tea in support of Mercy Works to help our students serve up some much needed love.
Just like a nice cup of tea, your gift will bring comfort and not only make a difference in young lives today but promote a sense of social justice in the future leaders of tomorrow.
In our faith based community we all experience fullness of life when responding in love to the needs of those less fortunate, and this is made possible through Mercy Works.
Mercy Works is the Ministry of Sisters of Mercy of Australia and Papua New Guinea and at TCC we’re blessed to inherit their life-giving charism. Ryan House is named in honour of Sr Andrina Ryan who was the last Sister of Mercy, Principal of The Range College and who passed away in 2020 after a life of service to Catholic Education, and Catholic Health and Aged Care.
Please contact the College today if you would like to find out more or to donate your Prize. Thank you for your amazing generosity.
