Welcome to the 2026 School Year
Welcome back to our returning families. We look forward to building on the successes of last year and continuing to support your child’s growth and development throughout 2026. A special welcome also to our new families, we are delighted to have you join the Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs community and look forward to partnering with you to make the most of your child’s time at the College.
Although only a couple of weeks into the term for students, our staff have been working diligently to ensure a productive and rewarding start to the year. A wide range of opportunities and experiences have been thoughtfully planned to extend learning beyond the classroom. Whether in faith, social, academic, cultural or sporting contexts, each opportunity is designed to help students grow in confidence, strengthen friendships and create lasting memories.
Consent2Go Platform
Thank you to all parents and carers for your prompt engagement with our new Consent2Go platform following the transition from Operoo. We sincerely appreciate the positive and proactive manner in which our community has embraced this change.
As outlined in our original Consent2Go correspondence, all requests for permission received via Consent2Go must be treated as a call to action. The platform does not send daily reminders for outstanding consent requests. It is therefore essential that when a notification is received, it is reviewed and actioned promptly to ensure your child does not miss valuable learning opportunities, particularly those occurring outside of the classroom or offsite.
Your partnership in this process enables us to continue providing enriching and well-organised experiences for our students.
College Swimming Carnival – 24 February
Our College Swimming Carnival will take place on 24 February. This is always a highlight of Term 1 and a wonderful opportunity for students to come together as a school community. The day promotes participation, friendly competition and strong House spirit, while encouraging students to support one another and celebrate collective achievement. We look forward to an energetic and spirited day.
Year 9 Camp – 25 –27 February
We are especially excited for our Year 9 cohort, who will attend their 3-day, 2-night camp from 25 to 27 February. Please note that there will be no Year 9 classes on these dates due to camp.
Camps are an important part of school life. They provide students with opportunities to build independence, resilience and teamwork while strengthening relationships with peers and staff in a different environment. Through a wide range of activities, students are challenged to step outside their comfort zones, collaborate with others and grow in confidence. We look forward to hearing the stories and reflections when they return.
Year 10 Premier League
This week also marked the commencement of Year 10 Premier League. This program provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate leadership, teamwork and commitment while representing our school with pride.
Premier League fosters healthy competition and encourages students to take ownership of their involvement in the sporting life of the College. Beyond the competitive element, it strengthens connections across the cohort and builds a strong sense of belonging. We look forward to seeing the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and leadership that will emerge throughout the season.
Visit from Liceo Scientifico Livio Cambi (Italy)
This week we had the pleasure of welcoming 16 students and one staff member from our sister school in Italy, Liceo Scientifico Livio Cambi. These international partnerships provide rich cultural exchange experiences that broaden perspectives and deepen global understanding for our students.
We extend our sincere thanks to the generous families within our community who have opened their homes to host our visitors during their week-long stay. Your hospitality enables these meaningful experiences to take place and reflects the strong spirit of welcome within our College community.
Staying Informed
To remain up to date with important College dates and upcoming events, we encourage all families to regularly consult the College website calendar. This remains the most accurate and current source of information regarding key events throughout the year.
We look forward to a positive and enriching Term 1 and thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s learning journey at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs.
