During the week of 20–24 October, Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs came alive with colour, creativity, and innovation as we celebrated Arts and Technologies Week. This year’s festivities not only showcased the incredible talent and passion of our students across all year levels but also provided the perfect opportunity to officially show off our new three-storey Sacred Heart building, a fitting name for a space where students express their hearts through art, food, music, design, and creativity.

The week was packed with exciting activities and hands-on workshops. Lunchtimes buzzed with energy as students competed in the much-loved One Pan Cooking Competitions, as well as celebrating an ex-student from William Angliss who prepared fresh fettuccine for everyone to enjoy. There were also drama games, keychain making, metal embossing, digital technology workshops, garland crafting, gelli painting workshops, and plenty of opportunities for students to explore their creative sides.

Music and performance filled the air, with students showcasing their skills through Broadway tunes and an entertaining Guitar Hero challenge that drew cheering crowds. The daily Arts and Technologies quizzes kept homerooms buzzing, as students tested their knowledge across the various domains. In addition, information about Patron Saints and creative disciplines was made available to the school community, adding a reflective touch to the week.

The celebrations culminated in the Arts and Technologies Evening Exhibition - the highlight of the week, where families and guests gathered to admire a stunning display of art, food, music, and drama all in one space. The night was a true testament to the hard work, imagination, and collaboration that thrive within our college community.

A heartfelt thank you to all staff and students who contributed to making Arts and Technologies Week a memorable success. It was a joyful reminder that when creativity and heart come together, brilliance shines through.
