Feast Day 2026

On Thursday, 13 August, we will celebrate our annual College Feast Day, the first to include students from both campuses.

The day will feature Mass, our Walk Against Domestic Violence, Kolbe’s Got Talent and a range of fun afternoon activities.

We gather to celebrate our faith and stand together against domestic violence. Students and staff will be provided with Not Now, Not Ever purple t-shirts for the walk, a visible reminder that everyone has the right to live free from fear and violence. A reminder that all students are expected to attend this day. Click here to view our students speaking about our previous Walk Against Domestic Violence.
