I am very pleased to announce that Friend Civil, a local civil engineering firm, have been engaged by the Diocese of Wollongong to construct the remainder of Poziers Road adjacent to our College car park.   Additionally, they will develop Bezentine Ride Road (joining Vinny, McFarlane & Guillemont roads) and the second half of Vinny Road.

This will mean that all roads surrounding the College will soon be complete with adjacent pedestrian pavements. It will increase access, make road traffic smoother and increase the amount of on-street parking.

The best news is that the work commences this week! The contractors will start with Bezentine & Poziers Roads and will look to develop round-abouts on Vinny Road and Jardine Drive in the student vacation period. Finally, they will develop the remaining strip of Vinny Road to complete the project.

I have attempted to simplify the council plans for Poziers Road which show the round-abouts, pedestrian crossing and parking bays. Click here for a diagram of the road works for Poziers Road.

PARENT INFORMATION EVENING - COLLEGE BUILDING PROGRAM

We will be holding a Parent Information Evening on the College Building Program on Thursday 13th June at 6:30pm in the College Hall. On this night I will share exclusive images of the new Technology, Art & Science Centre to reveal the new learning spaces to parents. I will also provide some more detail of the road works that surround the College. Finally, I will present the proposed concepts for the next stages of the building program.

I hope that you can come along to see the presentation and ask questions. For those unable to make it, some of the images of the new building will be published on Facebook following the meeting and outline of future building proposals will be presented in the College newsletter.

FAMILY COLLEGE PARTNERSHIPS

Many thanks to the parents who have nominated to be part of the FCP program. The last day for nominations was yesterday. The College Leadership Team will examine all nominations and send out invitations soon to those who were successful to join a group. Each FCP will be chosen to represent a broad range of parents ie. consideration will be given to the year groups of children, cultural background, gender of parents etc.

I am grateful for your strong support.

Have a great week.
