Nazareth Weekly: Term 1, Week 11, 2026
Community | From the Acting College Principal
As we reach the conclusion of Term 1, we encourage our students to take time to reflect on the progress they have made so far this year. The grades received at this point provide an important opportunity for reflection, they may affirm the strategies and work habits currently in place or signal a need to set new goals and adjust approaches to learning. This process of reflection, growth and goal‑setting is a valuable part of developing each student as a confident and capable learner.
Nazareth Catholic College continues to offer our young people a rich and diverse range of learning experiences, academic, co‑curricular, cultural and faith‑based, that support the development of the whole person. I am deeply grateful to our staff for the commitment, care and collegiality they demonstrate each day. Across a wide range of roles, our staff work tirelessly to support, challenge and encourage our students to be their best.
As Term 1 draws to a close, I wish all our students, staff and families a safe, restful and enjoyable holiday break. I also acknowledge that our Year 12 students will continue their learning through scheduled workshops during the break, supported generously by our staff. Thank you to those involved for their ongoing dedication.
May the break provide time for rest, renewal and reflection as we prepare for the term ahead.

R-12 | Co-curricular Sports Uniforms - Jersey Numbers
We have recently had a few situations where students on the same team are wearing the same jersey number. This can happen when jerseys are passed down to siblings or sold second-hand and the uniform shop has not been notified of the number change.
If your child is playing an after-school sport and is using a jersey that was handed down or purchased second-hand, please let the Uniform Shop know the jersey number so we can record it.
If there is a number conflict, please contact your child’s Sports Coordinator so the issue can be resolved.
A Co-curricular Sport Uniform guide can be found here.
R-12 | Winter Uniform Fittings
Winter uniform fittings are now open! Appointments are essential for:
