This week, our College community came together for RUOK? Week to highlight the importance of mental health and staying connected With men often finding it challenging to open up, creating a culture where honest conversations happen naturally is more important than ever. Throughout the week, our boys engaged in meaningful activities designed to build connections and break down barriers: Activities included mental health trivia, board games, daily videos, and sessions focused on meditation and mindfulness. A highlight was the ever-popular Bronut Day, which encouraged students to support their mates by buying some donuts and having a chat over shared morning tea. The week culminated in a much-anticipated Staff vs Student volleyball match - an energetic battle that saw the teachers secure their second victory across three sporting challenge events this year.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers, grandfathers and father figures who have supported, guided and encouraged our students throughout their lives. Last Friday morning, Patrician Brothers’ Blacktown and Nagle College celebrated for a wonderful Father’s Day Mass at St Patrick’s Church. With students and staff from our College providing the music for the liturgy, the Mass was a meaningful and prayerful tribute to all the fathers in our community. Following Mass, everyone was invited to enjoy a coffee and some delicious treats together, providing a wonderful opportunity to gather, connect and celebrate ahead of Father’s Day. A special thanks to Fr. Stephen Onyekwere for leading this special occasion with his usual wisdom and positivity.
