College News

The Annual Spanish Exchange with Salesian College Sarria was a great success. Students had a great week in Spain and came back confident and fluent. We cannot wait to welcome the Spanish students to our school in June. Thank you to everyone at SCS who made this opportunity possible and so well organised.

On Friday 21 November, we were delighted to welcome back alumnus Daniel Boys as we proudly celebrated the outstanding accomplishments of our students from Years 7 to 13. The event recognised hard work and dedication throughout the previous academic year, with certificates presented for A Level and GCSE success.

In addition to these academic milestones, prizes and awards were given for attainment, effort, and overall achievement—highlighting the commitment and perseverance of our learners.

Congratulations to all our students for their remarkable achievements. We are incredibly proud of your efforts and look forward to seeing what you accomplish next!

Mass of Dedication – A Joyous Start to the School Year

On Friday 5 September, our school community came together to celebrate the Mass of Dedication, marking the beginning of a new academic year filled with promise and opportunity.

Fr Pat inspired us to reflect on how we will dedicate ourselves to the year ahead, encouraging everyone to give their very best in all they do.

A huge thank you to our liturgy coordinators Fraser and Guillaume, and senior students Dan and JP, who supported Fr Pat as altar servers. Our student leaders – James, Isla, Nick, Anna, and Harry – led the readings beautifully, reminding us what it means to live as Salesians and be role models to others.

We ended with a powerful rendition of the School Song, leaving us energised and ready to embrace the year ahead with purpose, passion, and pride.

Welcome Home, Year 7 and Year 12!

Today, our College was buzzing with excitement (and just a few nerves!) as we welcomed our newest students for their final induction sessions.

From meeting their tutors to bonding as a group, it was a day full of connection, laughter, and the beginning of lifelong friendships.

We’re so proud to walk alongside them as they begin this incredible educational journey. Here's to a brilliant year ahead!
