I hope you and your families had a wonderful and restful break. As we begin the 2025 school year, I would like to warmly welcome your children back to Catherine McAuley Catholic College. Year 10 is a crucial stage in their journey, and I am excited to support them as they continue to grow academically, socially, and personally.
 
Our school community thrives on the strong connections between students, parents, and the wider community. The foundation built over the past years has been excellent, and I look forward to working together to ensure our students continue to feel valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.
 
This term, our focus is on Pride—pride in ourselves, our work, our relationships, and the way we contribute to our community. We want our students to take ownership of their learning, strive for excellence, and foster positive relationships with those around them. By embracing this theme, they will continue to build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mr. James Moore for stepping in as Leader of Wellbeing and Engagement during Term 4 while I was on paternity leave. His dedication and care for the students were greatly appreciated, and I am grateful for the work he did in my absence.

Year 10 are extremely lucky to have such amazing LEA teachers this year, and parents and carers are encouraged to use these teachers as a point of call when discussing how they are going in Year 10.

Year 10 LEA teachers are below:

As always, I encourage open communication, and I welcome any questions or concerns you may have. Please feel free to email me at robert.bain@mn.catholic.edu.au or call the school at any time.

Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
