St Aloysius College Cronulla

EXCITING BUILDING UPDATE: THE ST ALOYSIUS OF TOMORROW IS UNDERWAY! 🌟
We are thrilled to share that the first official steps of our campus transformation will begin, paving the way for our landmark new three-story building!

To keep our student services, classrooms, and administration fully operational throughout the build, the project will roll out in carefully planned phases:

⛪ Phase 1: Preserving our Spiritual Heart - College Chapel/Temporary staffroom (Saturday 20 June)
A major priority in our masterplan is the relocation of our College Chapel. On Saturday 20 June the Chapel will be moved to its new permanent home on the Top Oval. This elevated position will provide a serene, central space for prayer and reflection overlooking our vibrant campus.
A temporary staff demountable will be brought onto the site also on Saturday 20 June. This allows us to transition our staff out of the current building ahead of its eventual demolition.

📚 Phase 2: Preparing the Learning Centre & College Office/Street works on Cross Road.(End of Term 2/July Holidays/Term 3)
Before we can demolish older structures, we are relocating our administration and our Learning Centre/Library:
- Temporary Library/Learning Centre: Rooms 31, 32, and 33 will be completely refurbished at the end of this current term to house our temporary Learning Centre/Library.

- The New College Office: Once the temporary Learning Centre/Library is complete, our current Library will be transformed into our permanent new College Office on Cross Road, with fit-outs scheduled for Terms 3 and 4.

- Extensive works will be conducted to expand our College Car Park - including a specific zone for drop off and pick ups off Cross Road, increased parking spaces. Widening of Cross Road directly between our main College gates. Instillation of a pedestrian crossing directly outside of the college on Cross road (another pedestrian crossing will be constructed on Burraneer bay Road). Improvements will also occur at the student entry points to the college and to the new office building on Cross Road.

🏢 Phase 3: The New Three-Story Building
To ensure absolutely zero disruption to our day-to-day student services, work on the new three-story building will officially commence after the College Office has moved into its new permanent home on Cross Road. Demolition of the existing Administration block is planned for the Christmas school holiday period.

We are incredibly excited to see these vital infrastructure projects come to life!
Thank you to our entire community for your support and patience as we build an even brighter future for the students of St Aloysius College. 🪵🔨✨

DEBATING 2026
A massive congratulations to all our 2026 debaters across Years 7, 8, 9 and Seniors for an incredible season representing St Aloysius College Cronulla!

A special shout-out to our Senior Debating Team, who made it all the way to the Conference Elimination at OLM on Wednesday night! It was a fantastic, hard-fought debate. While congratulations go to Marist Penshurst for taking the win, we are immensely proud of our team's sharp wits, eloquence, and teamwork.

Thank you to our amazing staff mentors for coaching and supporting our students all season: Mrs Randall, Mr Robertson, Mr Cullerton, and Mr Robinson.

Thanks also to Ms Aurelius and Mrs O'Connor for their presence on Wednesday night supporting our Senior team.

The future of public speaking at St Aloysius is incredibly bright!

AN INSIGHTFUL STAFF VISIT TO ST MARY'S CATHEDRAL ✨
A group of our dedicated St Aloysius staff members had the wonderful opportunity to visit the spectacular Sistine Chapel Exhibition currently on display at St Mary’s Cathedral.

This breathtaking exhibition brings Michelangelo’s iconic masterpieces to life in stunning, high-definition, life-sized detail. It was a deeply moving experience for our staff, blending profound spiritual reflection with a celebration of world-class art history.

Opportunities like this allow our educators to continually enrich their own faith and knowledge, which they bring right back into our College classrooms to inspire our students.🙏💙💛

During Reconciliation Week, we honour the strength, talent, and commitment of Matilda Thearle. From pursuing a career in Allied Health through her School Based Traineeship to placing 4th in the Australian Indigenous Surf Titles, Matilda embodies the spirit of the theme of Reconciliation Week - “All In”. Her achievements remind us of the power of opportunity, culture, and community.

Congratulations to Archie, Audrey, Jasmine, Safari and Lachlan for joining the 100 Club for the results in the recent Year 7 Fractions and Angles Test. What an outstanding achievement!

Year 9 students, Emma Ramsay and Isabella Walker, represented our college at the 20th Anniversary of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Veterans Commemoration Service at the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park. It was an important and moving ceremony, recognising the undeniable contribution that our First Nations Servicemen and Servicewomen have made to our country.

A wonderful early game and tough win for our U15 Girls AFL team this morning against a spirited and talented St Scholastica’s College.
With only 14 players on the field, there was a lot of running so effective hand balling and taking marks were crucial.
The girls came away victors 27-14 and now move onto the Greater Sydney Championships.
Congratulations girls
