From The Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

Last week, the College community gathered to farewell the graduating Class of 2022. The departure of a ‘graduating’ class captures the essence and the very spirit of a Catholic College – and when you consider the qualities of the young men who have reached this significant milestone – I am very pleased with how very ‘strong’ that spirit exists within our College. We congratulate Year 12 not only for their leadership and example of service to the younger students of the College but also for their wide-ranging talents and their many and varied achievements in both learning and co-curricular pursuits. The Class of 2022 leaves us with a strong legacy and a passion for inclusivity for all. They enthusiastically shared with us an authentic sense of school and house spirit. Thank you to Year 12 Pastoral Coordinator, Mr Jackson, who, together with Mrs Russell and the Year 12 teachers, continue to guide and encourage our students for their upcoming HSC examinations early next Term. I would like to thank the Year 12 parents and carers for the supportive way that they each have worked in close partnership with the College. It is through working together that we can celebrate this great sense of pride in these young men.

Congratulations to the following Year 12 students on receiving the following awards:

I take this opportunity on behalf of the College community to farewell three of our staff members who will be leaving us. Recently, I informed staff that our Library Officer, Miss Emily Kierse, has accepted a position with the Wollongong City Council as a Senior Library Officer, which she will be commencing next term.  Mr Mathew Rattenbury has also accepted a permanent role with the EREA Flexible Schools Network. We sincerely congratulate both Miss Kierse and Mr Rattenbury on their exciting new appointments and thank them for their wonderful service to our College community. Finally, our long-serving Careers Adviser, Mrs Jennifer Hodson, has announced her retirement from ERC. In congratulating Mrs Hodson, we look forward to later in the year when we can formally acknowledge her significant and loyal contribution to ERC over such an extensive period of time. Sincere thanks to all.

I conclude this last Newsletter for the Term by paying tribute to our excellent teaching and support staff for providing our students with so many valuable and meaningful learning experiences. I would also like to thank parents and carers for your ongoing support of the College.

May the spirit of Blessed Edmund Rice continue to guide and inspire us.

Best wishes
Stephen Gough
Principal

Community News

Change in Student/Family Circumstances/Contact Information/Medical Conditions

If any change has occurred/occurs in your family – separation, divorce, serious illness, the College should be notified as soon as possible. The College seeks to be supportive of families in such circumstances and such events always have a bearing on a child’s education. Likewise, a change of address, email or phone number (work, home or mobile) or emergency contact should be advised immediately.

If your son suffers from a medical condition it is vital that you inform the office of his condition and what treatment is required in an emergency. An emergency management plan must be developed for any students with serious conditions.

Please verify all information via the TASS Parent Lounge.
