Bunbury Catholic College

Learning the basics of carpentry, civil construction and bricklaying through two and three-day immersive programs has given some of our Year 9 students hands-on experience in real workplace environments.
The opportunity to step outside the classroom and into the world of construction is offered to students through Try-A-Trade programs at Skill Hire and GetCareers.
As they are learning to safely use industry tools and equipment, participants construct archways and pergolas, pitch a roof and build a garden bed, developing practical trade skills and experiencing what it's really like to work in the construction industry.
Try-A-Trade programs are designed to help students explore their interests, discover potential career pathways and build confidence through practical learning.
Along the way, they gain an insight into apprenticeships, traineeships, workplace safety and the opportunities available in the industry.
We are grateful to Skill Hire, GetCareers and the Construction Training Fund for inspiring the next generation of skilled tradespeople.

We wish Year 12 student Mali Hart all the best for the International Earth Science Olympiad in Italy.

We came together as a College today to celebrate Feast Day.
The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a special celebration for Catholics and specifically for Marists.
Following Mass, students and staff shared activities and made origami hearts for a flowing mural created in the Cafeteria.
The Feast Day stalls offered homemade cakes, cookies, face decorations, hair spray, mini golf, temporary tattoos, pizza, sausage sizzle and the chance to try your luck at games of skill.
To conclude the day, a concert showcased our talented musicians, singers and performers. The Michael Jackson-themed performances provided a thrilling finale to the celebrations.

We are seeking passionate and dedicated educators to commence as a Head of Year, a Mathematics Teacher and a Science Teacher in January next year. These are exciting opportunities to become part of our vibrant community.

Our Year 12 students had the absolute privilege of listening to Australian Paralympic Team Captain Sean Pollard speak about resilience, overcoming adversity and maintaining a healthy mindset.
Sean, who lives in Bunbury, survived a horrific shark attack while surfing in 2014. Since then, he has demonstrated incredible courage and strength in embracing new ways of moving forward.
His recovery saw him switch from surfing to snowboarding, becoming a Paralympian in 2018 and, this year, leading the Australian team at the Paralympic Winter Games.
College Captain Isabella Ball said the presentation inspired students to face life's challenges with a positive outlook and highlighted how our thoughts can shape the way we see the world.
