Happy Easter

Easter is the greatest and the most important feast in the Church. It marks the birthday of our eternal hope. Easter literally means the feast of fresh flowers. We celebrate it with pride and jubilation.

It is with the same pride that I thank all staff and students for what they have achieved this term and all members of the Berwick Campus community are wished all the very best over the holiday period. May all keep safe and enjoy time with loved ones after such a positive start to the year.

VEX Robotics Tournament

Last week a small team of students travelled into the city with Mr Branchflower to compete in the Vex Robotics pre-season tournament which was held as part of the National Future Schools Conference 2019 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC).

This event is one of a series of tournaments taking place internationally throughout the year. VEX competitions are recognized as the largest and fastest growing competitive robotics programs for Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, High Schools and older students around the world.

VEX competitions include over 20,000 teams from 45 countries that participate in more than 1,500 VEX competition events worldwide.
