Columba College

QUAD 2026
Unfortunately we have had to cancel Day 3 of our annual inter school due to weather conditions. Proud of all our students, coaches and management for their efforts over the past 2 days, some great games have been played with incredible results.

Stay safe out there everyone, wishing our visiting schools all the best as they endeavour to get home safely. An enjoyable experience for all and certainly one that will not be forgotten. 🕊️

Columba College will be closed today due to snowfall and road closures. See you all tomorrow!

Columba College has a 10am start due to road conditions. Stay safe, stay cosy, and stay tuned for further updates...
