JAPANESE CULTURAL EXPERIENCE | This week we have welcomed students from Keika Girls’ High School to the College. Since 2013, St Mary’s has been fostering a deep bond with our sister School in Japan. Keika students have been immersing themselves in the day to day life at St Mary’s attending lessons with their host sister and exploring Wollongong. Thank you to our billeting families for opening their hearts and homes so generously for this 11 day Educational and Cultural Enrichment Tour of the Illawarra. #japaneseculturalexperience #keikagirlshighschool #lifetimefriendships

NIDA | Year 11 and 12 VET Entertainment students engaged in a two day workshop at NIDA learning about vision and lighting. Our students had the incredible opportunity to work side-by-side with industry professionals. They gained invaluable insights into the world of vision and lighting, discovering the perfect blend of theory and practical skills. A huge shoutout to the industry professionals and staff at NIDA for making this workshop possible and guiding our students towards a bright future in the world of entertainment! #NIDA #VETEntertainment #FutureStars #LightsCameraAction #IndustryProfessionals #CreativityUnleashed #PassionInMotion
