2026 Parent Sundowner              

All parents are invited to attend the Welcome Sundowner on Friday 6 February in Founders Court on the Marcellin Campus, 5.00pm-7.00pm. This is a ticketed event. Tickets are $36 and can be purchased online here.

This is a great opportunity to experience Family Spirit, meet new people and catch-up with those you already know. Members of the College Executive will be present to meet and chat with our parent community. 

Safe Routes to School

The school has been working in collaboration with the City of Stirling to establish a “Safe Routes for School” guide for Newman College. The guide maps the safe walking routes from the neighbourhoods surrounding the College to promote active transport. Families may access a digital version of the guide here and hard copies will be available to students in 2026.

Thank You and Farewell

As I wrap up my two years as Vice Principal, I want to express my sincere thanks. Returning to Newman College has truly been a gift. This community – our incredible staff, families and of course, our students – has reminded me every day why our work matters.

I have cherished the conversations, the trust, the laughter and our shared belief that we are here to help young people become their very best, to let their light shine. It has been a real privilege to serve this community and I will always be grateful for all it has given me.

Wishing you and your families a safe, restful and holy Christmas, and every blessing for the future.

God Bless!
