The main item to report on here is the proposed demolition and rebuilding of a large section of the main College block. We are most grateful to the Catholic Schools Board who, as the executive hand of the Archbishop, have made the necessary arrangements to have this carried out. A project committee is already in place and the hope is that demolition will commence towards the end of next year. Student Activities If I named every activity undertaken by the students at the college during the year, we would be here all night congratulating them. There have been some outstanding achievements by teams, groups and individual students, in the academic, cultural and sporting arenas. I don’t want to offend anyone by mentioning some groups and not others, so please accept our congratulations to you all and how proud the community is of your achievements. As with every year, these activities would not have been possible if it were not for the care, support and time given by many volunteers within our community. Board Members At the beginning of the year, we welcomed to the Board of Trustees, a new Proprietor’s Representative with the appointment of Kate Dominikovich. Then, a few months later, with the tri-ennial elections,we farewelled Aneel Anthony, Kevin Brennan, Paul Saggers and Brian Slade. We thank them for the great contribution they have made. We then also welcomed our new trustees, who bravely put their names forward for election,Tapu Alaifatu, Natasha Gilmour, Kath McGuinness and Jim Nicolle.
