We are delighted to celebrate the success of the inaugural Central Coast Catholic High Schools Performing Arts Showcase, held at St 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s College Theatre on the evenings 20 and 21 May. Conceived as a variety concert, the Performing Arts Showcase aimed to highlight the excellence in performance across our Central Coast Catholic High Schools. The program featured vocalists, ensembles, drama, and instrumental performances from students representing St Brigid’s Catholic College, St 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s College, St Joseph’s Catholic College, MacKillop Catholic College, and St Peter’s Catholic College. Each school nominated four polished performance items, creating a diverse program that included Drama, Music, and Musical Theatre. The performances ranged from exquisite solo and small ensemble pieces covering Classical to Contemporary Rock and Pop, as well as large vocal and drama ensembles. This event provided a wonderful opportunity to showcase the incredible work being nurtured in our Secondary Catholic Schools and the immense talent of our students. It allowed them to shine in front of their peers and the wider community. Both evenings were incredibly well attended, and the performances were spectacular. It was a fantastic opportunity for students and teachers to collaborate, fostering a real sense of community among our performers and schools. A heartfelt thank you goes to our Performing Arts faculty for their dedication and effort in making this event a polished and seamless experience for both performers and the audience. Additionally, the Vet Entertainment students played an integral role, completing valuable work placement hours on a live production, including lighting, vision, follow spot operation, and working side of stage. Congratulations to all our performers and our wonderful MC’s! We look forward to building on this event in the coming years. [foogallery id="60854"]

The Founders Day Mass was once again a significant and special occasion for the St 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s College community, providing a meaningful opportunity to come together in faith and reflection. Presided over by Father Vince, the ceremony was a reverent and prayerful celebration of the College’s history, values, and mission. Students participated with admirable respect and reverence, embodying the spirit of the occasion through their thoughtful presence and quiet reflection. A special congratulations goes to the talented musicians—both staff and students—who contributed to the atmosphere of the Mass with their beautiful performances. Their music, carefully prepared under the guidance of Mrs Rankin and Mr Toole, added depth and a sense of spiritual richness to the ceremony. Events such as Founders Day remind us of the strength, unity, and shared purpose within the St 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful and memorable celebration. As part of the day’s proceedings, long-serving staff members were also recognised and honoured. Certificates were presented to those who have dedicated 10, 15, 20, 25, and even 30 years of service to the College. Their ongoing commitment and contribution to the life of St 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s is deeply appreciated and truly inspiring.

On Thursday 22 May, we welcomed enthusiastic Year 4 and 5 students, nominated by their Catholic primary schools, for our Visual Arts Enrichment Program. Under the guidance of Ms Sarah Evans, Ms Tina Danckert, and incredible support from Year 10 and 11 students from St 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s College and St Joseph’s College, the day was filled with creativity, colour, and hands-on fun! Students explored Copic marker drawing, scratch art, and created their own visual art diaries – all sparking a deeper love for the arts. A huge thank you to everyone who brought this day to life. You've inspired the next generation of artists! [foogallery id="60612"]
