🤝 Our Year 7 & 12 Buddy Program is still going strong!
Year 12 leaders stepped up to help Year 7 students build essential study skills, before putting their Simonds knowledge to the test in an epic Kahoot quiz! 🏆📚
There's nothing quite like learning from those who've walked the same halls.

⚽ THAT’S A WRAP ON THE 2025 SEASON! ⚽
This is what Shaping Men of the Future looks like: a group of young men who showed up for each other, week in, week out, all season long. 💪
Today, we closed out the season at home on JJ Holland with Jifar Abagaro and Olivier Jaskowski both finding the net, finishing the year in style! ⚽
⚽ 🥅 👟🧤🟦🟥🟨
♟️ ACC Division 2 Intermediate Chess Champions! 🏆🎉
What does character under pressure look like?
It looks like Tyler, sitting across a chessboard, 25 silent spectators watching, not knowing the entire tournament rested on his next move. 👀🤫
He offered a draw. Twice. His opponent refused. So he fought back, came from behind, and stole the narrowest of victories by just half a point. 💪
That single win handed Simonds the ACC Intermediate Chess Division 2 title at St Bernard’s College. Incredible scenes. 🙌
Huge congratulations to our top four players: ⭐ William Mai, undefeated throughout the entire tournament ⭐ Hayden Situ ⭐ Jack Petrie ⭐ Tyler Diep and of course, the entire team!
These young men didn’t just win a chess tournament; they showed composure, resilience, and the heart of true competitors. Incredibly proud.
🏫 Grade 4 Junior Explorers Day at Simonds ✨
Grade 4 students from Trinity Primary School, Richmond, St Mary’s Thornbury and St Margaret’s Primary School, Maribyrnong got a taste of high school life, spending the day at Simonds. They had a jam-packed day: Food Tech, Science, and Sport, kicking it all off with a warm-up dance hosted by Principal Anastasio! 🕺🎶
👀 If today was anything to go by, we can’t wait to see these young men walk through our doors as Simonds Boys! 💙

🙏 We were honoured to welcome Alan Latu from to speak with our Year 7 & 8 boys as part of our Men of Character program. Alan's message was clear and powerful, Violence is NEVER okay. 🧠 Alan challenges young people to pause, think, and choose wisely before acting on anger or emotion. We believe character is built in those moments of choice, and speakers like Alan help our boys understand the weight of that responsibility.
🙌 Thank you Alan and the , for the incredible work you do across Australia, helping young people make wiser, safer decisions.
⚽⚽⚽ WHAT A WIN! Simonds CC 3 – St Bernard’s 1 💪
A complete team effort last week, every man did his part. ⚽⚽ Thong Trung and ⚽ Charoup Taban got on the scoresheet in a massive result that keeps the boys’ season ALIVE. Finals footy is still on the table, let’s go! 🙌

Growth Through Service.
Character is built in the moments no one asks for, and our students showed it. 💫
As an inner‑city school connected to our neighbourhood, our Year 11 & 12 Vocational Major students created and donated 'Rough Sleeper Packs' to St Vincent de Paul, supporting the Soup Van and those who need it most.
Acts like this shape men who lead, serve and uplift others. 🌍 🙏
Simonds Day! 🎉
Simonds Day is all about celebrating the spirit, history, and community of our college 🎉💙
We started the day with Mass, then spent the rest of it rotating between carnival rides and pop‑up activities organised by our wonderful teachers! From cooking 👩🍳, chess ♟️, LEGO Masters 🧱, and origami 🐉 to so much more, there was something for everyone. And of course… the carnival favourite: the dunk tank 💦😂
✨ Fun Fact
We are named after Archbishop Justin Daniel Simonds, the first Australian‑born Catholic Archbishop, a major milestone in Australia’s Church history 💛💙❤️
