2025 NEXT STEP YEAR 12 COMPLETERS SURVEY
All Year 12 completers from last year will soon receive an invitation to participate in the Next Step survey. This is their chance to help our school to understand the different pathways of the 2024 Year 12 students and to improve our senior programs and supports for future students. The survey only takes five minutes and asks graduates about their study and work activities since finishing school.
As a thank you for participating, Year 12 completers who complete the survey will be entered into a draw to win a MacBook Air.
We ask parents, siblings and friends to encourage our graduates to complete the survey. If their contact details have changed, please assist survey interviewers by providing their updated details or forward the survey to their new address so they can participate. Graduates may receive an invitation by mail, email or phone. The survey can be completed online or by phone.
MISSION NEWS
Today our community marked the beginning of Lent with students in Year 7, 8 and 9 attending a Liturgy in the Mercy Centre and Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 joining with the Parish community to celebrate Mass. Thank you to Bishop Michael for encouraging us as we begin our journey towards Easter. It was a holy and reverent occasion. Thank you to our readers Summer, Logan and Sam, our Psalmist Genevive, Altar Server Patrick, our Music Ministry, and Senior students and Middle School Leaders who distributed the Ashes. We look forward to the many opportunities for Prayer and supporting Caritas' Project Compassion at the College this Lent. Our next TCC Parish Mass is Saturday 15 March at 6pm in St Joseph's Cathedral. We look forward to welcoming you.
