St Charbel's College

Kindergarten and Year 2 students had a special visit from Officer Sinead as part of our PDH program, Keeping Us Safe. Through an engaging and age-appropriate discussion, the children learned about the importance of road safety, including how to stay safe near roads, use pedestrian crossings correctly, wear seatbelts, and be aware of their surroundings when travelling.

Officer Sinead encouraged students to participate in discussions and activities that reinforced safe behaviours both at school and in the community. This visit supported the learning taking place in our Keeping Us Safe program and helped students develop a greater understanding of how to make safe choices in everyday situations.

We thank Officer Sinead for taking the time to share these important safety messages with our students.

Three Year 7 students proudly represented St Charbel's College in the first junior round of the Australian national Virtual Debate Competition.

First time debaters, Marianne, Anthony and Steven took on the team from Frensham School in Mittagong.

The team did not secure an overall win, however, they won the first clash and the adjudicator commended them for thoroughness of their arguments.

Congratulation to the Year 7 team on their efforts in the first debate. Their research, composure, and skill were excellent, and we are proud of their performance.

Four students from Years 9 and 10 proudly represented St Charbel's College in the first round of the Australian National Virtual Debate Competition.

Rafka, Josette, Mary-Jo and Josephine took on the team from Trinity Catholic College Lismore.

Although the team did not secure a win, the adjudicator commended them for the strength and quality of their arguments, as well as their ability to speak for nearly the full allotted time.

We would like to congratulate our team on their efforts in this round of competition. Their preparation, confidence, and professionalism were excellent and we are proud of their performance.
