2022 | Issue 8 | SJC Newsletter

Our first every Multicultural week (23 – 27 May) here at SJC was an opportunity to celebrate all of the cultures that we are privileged to have in our communities here in Australia. Staff and students alike participated in all the activities that were on offer with enthusiasm and a keen interest to learn something new! Highlights of the week included multi-year level, multicultural soccer matches, a screening of the film Yolngu Boy and Karaoke. There were plenty of multicultural delicacies to enjoy with pasta making classes, dumplings, a coffee van and cake stall selling cannoli and macarons, as well as a spaghetti eating competition at Westcourt where the winner, Coby W, finished his plate of spaghetti with his hands tied behind his back in 1 minute! Congratulations to the winners of all the competitions – Multicultural Madness Kahoot as well as the weekly quiz and flag identifying competition! A special congratulations to the winners of the Multicultural soccer matches. At Westcourt, the China team outplayed the Italy team and won 3-1, whereas at Edmund Rice Campus the score was tied China 2- The Balkans 2 after the two teams knocked out the Italy and All-Star Australian teams. Thank you to all the student leaders and staff members who assisted in running the activities. We are looking forward to an even bigger and better Multicultural Week in 2023!
