On Friday 20 November, we welcomed Year 6 students who will be coming to Santa Sophia in 2021 for Year 7!
While the move to high school can be nerve-racking, we planned a full day of activities for the Year 6's from several different schools to have a chance to meet new friends, get to know what high school is like, and calm those nerves.
The day consisted of plenty of icebreaker games, team challenges, sports and student led tours of the school. Thank you to our Year 8 and 9 leaders who played a big part in making the day run smoothly.
Welcome to Santa Sophia, Class of 2026!

This year, our College launched a teacher-led initiative to collect Dignity Bags in support of the amazing work of Share the Dignity! 💖 With the generosity of our wonderful teachers and inspiring Year 11 & 12 students, we’ve been able to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. 👜 These Dignity Bags will go directly to women and their children escaping domestic violence, as well as to those experiencing homelessness and hardship. Each bag is filled with essentials 🧴🧼🪥 and, more importantly, love and hope —reminding people that they are cared for and not forgotten. Thank you to everyone who supported this initiative, especially our Social Justice students for all their efforts in promoting and collecting these goods! Together, we’re helping restore dignity, compassion, and hope to our community. 🌏💝 #SharetheDignity @sharethedignityaustralia #SocialJustice #SSCCsocialjustice

This week, our Year 9 Child Studies students welcomed two special visitors – a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old. 🎉 As part of their assessment, students were tasked with designing a party for a 5-year-old. Our 5-year-old visitor took on the role of judge, while also joining in the party games, making the experience fun and authentic. Students had to ensure their party plans met key criteria, including: ✅ Nutritious and inclusive food options ✅ A clear, fun theme ✅ Creative and visually appealing decorations ✅ Variety and creativity in activities ✅ Inclusion of all required details Not only did students present their work to teachers and peers, but also to an authentic audience, gaining immediate feedback from the very age group they were designing for. At the end of the lesson, students also had the chance to implement some of their previous learnings by keeping our guests entertained. From egg and spoon races to parachute games, and even play with dolls, the Year 9s showed initiative, care, and creativity. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to bring their learning to life, and our junior judge had a wonderful time celebrating alongside Year 9. Well done to all students for their effort and enthusiasm! 👏 #SantaSophia #ChildStudies #CreativeLearning #ThePartyChallenge
