Student Leadership Commissioning
On Monday, the College community came together to express gratitude to our outgoing Year 12 Student Leadership Team for their dedication and service, and to formally commission the incoming leaders.
We extend our sincere thanks to Fr Josh for blessing the new badges and offering a thoughtful reflection on Jesus Christ as the model of servant leadership.
The assembly was an inspiring occasion, with students, staff, and special guests uplifted by the messages shared. Each speaker reminded us of the importance of using our gifts and talents to strengthen and enrich the Carroll College community.

30 Years of Carroll College
Thank you to everyone involved in organising the special celebration of the college on Saturday night. It was wonderful to see people reconnecting and sharing their experiences and memories of being part of the Carroll College community. Below are two reflections shared on the night followed by some images.
Speech by Karen Lyttle
Former and current Principals, teachers, students, parents, and families of Carroll College came together on Saturday evening for a very special celebration marking 30 years of Carroll College. A cocktail party held at the Oaks Ranch.
The formalities began with a welcome from Principal Jacqui Heffernan and Father Josh, before guests heard from a number of speakers who hold a unique place in the story of Carroll College — in its foundation, its history, and its future.
We were delighted to welcome back our second Principal, Michael Mitchell, as well as John Hogan, one of the few staff members present on the very first day Carroll College opened.
Another highlight of the evening was hearing from Caroline Odgers, daughter of Noel Cook. The Cook family holds a special place in the heart of Carroll College; Noel’s conversations in the mid-1980s planted the seed for a Catholic high school on the South Coast. Caroline attended the celebration with her mother, Maureen, and shared reflections on her father’s vision.
We also took time to acknowledge some of the College’s earliest families. The Beashel and Hamer families, among others, were instrumental in establishing Carroll College in its formative years. Without their determination, generosity, and the support of local parishes, the College may never have found its footing. While times have certainly changed, the dedication and spirit of those early days remain a guiding light.
That legacy continues today. We are especially proud that some of our first students have returned as teachers — Anna Smart, Belle Barling, and Louisa McAsh. Their journey from our very first Year 7 class to shaping the lives of today’s students is a testament to the enduring strength of our community. Anna and Belle also shared their experiences as students, teachers, and now parents at Carroll College.
Long-serving staff members Karen Lyttle, who has taught at Carroll College for 30 years, and Debbie Enfield, for 29 years, concluded the speeches with moving reflections on their many years at the College. They paid tribute to those who have come and gone, those who left their legacy, and those who continue to be an integral part of our community. Special mention was given to Bill Reid, the Foundation Principal, as well as the many staff members who, like Anna, Belle, and Louisa, began their Carroll journey as students.
Bill Reid, Noel Cook, Fr Henry Byrne, and Archbishop Francis Carroll would no doubt be immensely proud of where we stand today. The evening was filled with warmth, gratitude, and joy as former and current staff, students, and families came together to share memories, stories, and laughter in celebration of Carroll College’s 30-year journey.
Speech by Anna Smart and Belle Barling
Good evening everyone,
It’s pretty special for us, as past students, to be standing here celebrating 30 years of Carroll College. When you look around this room, you see not just faces from different graduating years, but three decades of stories, friendships, and memories that all started right here in Broulee.
When Carroll opened its doors back in 1995, it was a handful of staff, some portable classrooms, and a big vision. Those first teachers, people like John Hogan, Karen Lyttle, Debbie Enfield and Graeme Campbell, weren’t just teaching subjects; they were helping to build a community from the ground up. Many of us still remember the early musicals, the first Year 7 camps, held outside the ‘resource centre’ now “The Hub” and even the butcher's paper for whiteboards and having to sit on floors in our first week as we awaited the arrival of chairs.
For all of us who came through the gates, Carroll was more than a school. It was where we learned resilience, respect, and what it meant to be part of something bigger than ourselves. It’s where we met friends for life, had teachers who pushed us (even when we didn’t always thank them for it at the time!), and where we grew into the people we are today.
We can look back now and see how much those experiences shaped us and made us laugh; whether it was performing in A Chorus Line, running in the athletics carnival, or auctioning off staff members' children on our Year 12 muck up day. Those moments didn’t just fill the calendar, they helped give us values we’ve carried into our families, our work, and our communities.
We’re proud to be teachers at our school and we love those little reminders of our own high school days, like when you open an old textbook and see your name from 1995 still written inside the front cover. Those touches remind us that we’re part of a continuing story.
Thirty years on, Carroll has grown so much; new buildings, bigger teams, more opportunities, but that same spirit is still here. Faith, community, and hope are the threads that tie all of us together, past and present.
And now, as parents of Carroll kids ourselves, we’re especially proud to have chosen this journey for our own children; knowing first-hand the great opportunities this college provides, and feeling so grateful to continue sharing in what makes this place so special.
So tonight, as ex-students, and current staff members, we celebrate not just what Carroll was for us, but what it continues to be for the students walking the grounds today. And we look forward to the next chapter of this story we all share.
Thank you for being here to celebrate Carroll’s 30 years.
Father’s Day Breakfast
On Thursday morning our fathers were treated to breakfast with their children to celebrate Father’s Day 2025. The Senior Courtyard was humming with conversation and laughter as everyone enjoyed a delicious cooked breakfast and hot drinks made by our baristas. Thank you to Mrs Harris for her coordination of the breakfast and to everyone who was able to attend.
Thank you to our staff who prepared, cooked and distributed the food. We hope you had a great day.
Legacy Day
Connecting with our wider community is highly valued by Carroll College. On Friday 5 September members of our new Student Leadership Team together with Mr Bissell and Miss Johnston participated in the annual Legacy Day.
For several hours our students were selling Legacy badges in the Batemans Bay shopping precinct to help this worthy cause. Thank you for your community service.
R U Ok Day Thursday 11 September 2025 - is a national day of action and a reminder that everyday is a day to start a meaningful conversation.
R U OK? Day began in 2009. The purpose of the day is to remind us all to check in with friends, family members, co-workers, neighbours and others with the purpose of promoting community cohesiveness and helping to battle issues with mental health. Making connection within communities can make a huge impact on the lives of all of the people in it, particularly those who are at risk. So ask the question, “are you okay?” and then listen to hear the answer.
This year the Student Representative Council with the assistance of Ms Boller organised for period one classes to discuss a Google slide showing the importance of asking each other about being OK. During AM break the SRC organised a fabulous bake sale and invited participants to write a positive affirmation on a hand that was posted to make a wall mural of positivity in the shape of a tree for everyone to see and benefit from. Thank you to everyone involved.
Year 8 Pastoral Day report from Karen Lyttle – A Day Full of Hope
Year 8 students and pastoral staff recently gathered for our annual Pastoral Day, which centred on the theme of Hope. Throughout the day, students explored the importance of resilience in the face of challenges such as friendship difficulties, bullying, and adversity.
The morning began with an inspiring presentation from guest speaker Brett Murray from the Life Choices Foundation.
“The Life Choices Foundation programs provide information, education and a voice of reason that equips, strengthens and provides hope for a brighter future.”
Brett’s passion and real-life experience brought valuable insights for our students. He helped them to better understand the difference between bullying and unkind behaviour, while also emphasising resilience. Students left his session with greater confidence about how to respond when faced with difficult situations.
The theme of uniqueness was a strong focus for the day. Through a “Privilege Walk” activity, students were challenged to step into the shoes of others, developing empathy and understanding for the challenges people may face when coming to school each day.
Before lunch, representatives from St Vincent de Paul visited to raise awareness about homelessness both across Australia and in our local community. Students gained a deeper appreciation of the vital work St Vinnie’s does to support those in need and the ways they can contribute to positive change.
In the afternoon, students split into groups to focus on wellbeing. The boys participated in team-building and Rock and Water activities in the Hall with Mr Bissell and Mr McAteer, while the girls enjoyed a calming yoga session in the HUB.
The day was an enriching experience that encouraged Year 8 to reflect on hope, resilience, and the importance of community.
We extend our thanks to Mr Bissell, Mrs Lyttle, Ms Boller, Mrs Dell, and Mr McAteer for their organisation and support in making this day possible.
Academic Care Week 10
This week students from each year group focused on the following topics;
Year 7 – Wellio lesson ‘Managing unhealthy and toxic relationships
Year 8 – Wellio lesson focused on R.E.S.P.E.C.T
Year 9 - Wellio lesson Gender Based Discrimination
Year 10 - Urban Challenge
Year 11 – Preliminary examination arrangements.
Year 12 – Wellio lesson ‘Lifelong Growth Mindset’
We wish all our Year 11 student all the best during their examinations. Families are reminded that if your child requires any assistance during the examination period please contact their Pastoral Care Coordinator at the college.
Kind regards
Mrs Louise Ibbett
Principal (Acting)
Last week, Carroll College hosted its annual Winter Sleepout, an event that once again highlighted the compassion, generosity, and spirit of our students. Despite gale force winds rattling the Hall throughout the night, participants remained in high spirits, showing great empathy and maturity as they embraced the challenge of experiencing, in some small way, the hardships faced by those experiencing homelessness.
We were privileged to welcome Lisa Albert, our local Vinnies case worker, who shared her powerful personal story and helped deepen our understanding of the real struggles in our community. In addition, the Vinnies Youth Team visited classrooms during the day, running workshops that encouraged students to think critically about social justice and the call to serve others.
The response from our students was nothing short of inspiring. Their participation, respect, and engagement reflected the very best of our school community. Thanks to their efforts, and the incredible support of families and staff, we absolutely smashed our fundraising goal of $5000, raising an outstanding $8737 for the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.
Our new major initiative is Operation Christmas Child. Each homeroom has been working together to fill a shoebox for children around the world, particularly those living in war-torn countries. Students will be asked to contribute by bringing in a small item or a gold coin donation, reminding us that even the smallest acts of generosity can have a global impact.
We also continue to enjoy Father Josh’s visits to the College. We thank him sincerely for his supportive presence and for sharing his words at our recent SLT Commissioning Mass, especially generous of him to do so on his day off.
A heartfelt thank you goes to everyone involved in all our social justice initiatives at the College; students, staff, families, and our Vinnies partners. This event was a true witness to faith in action, reminding us of the impact we can make when we stand together for those in need.
Mrs Anna Smart
Religious Education Coordinator
Dear Carroll Community, this fortnight I would like to focus on the preliminary exams, and particularly last-minute examination preparation for our students.
What do you do if you have left your study until the last minute? In an ideal world, it would be great if all students paid attention, focused and participated in all classes, completed all homework and assessments thoroughly, asked for help throughout the year on anything they didn’t understand, made regular summaries of the work covered in class (preferably at the end of each topic or section) and did their best to learn as they go throughout the year. But in reality, this doesn’t always happen for every student and every subject. So what can you do if you have left your study for tests and exams to the last minute?
1. CLARIFY YOUR FOCUS: Before you dive into your study materials, take a moment to identify what topics and concepts will be tested. Reach out to your teachers or classmates if you're unsure about any specifics. Understanding the exam format and question style will guide your study strategy. Create a checklist of subjects and topics you need to cover, ensuring you're not leaving anything out.
2. GATHER MATERIALS: Do you have notes, materials, and textbooks on everything you need to learn? If not, is there a friend who can forward you the resources you have misplaced? Is there an online portal where material from classes is stored? Can you borrow from the library additional books or textbooks on the topics you need to learn? Are past examination papers available?
3. DRAFT A STUDY PLAN: You only have limited time left so you need to make the most of it. Draw up a grid that shows how much time you have left before your exams to study. Decide if you will spend equal time on each subject or if certain subjects need more time. Allocate subjects to the timeslots you have then decide exactly what you will do to prepare for each subject. For each subject list what sort of study you should do to prepare for that subject. Brainstorm your ideas on how to prepare, ask your parents and teachers for feedback, and share ideas with your friends.
4. CREATE STUDY NOTES: Target your notes to what will be tested. It is best for learning and memory to make your study notes yourself, but if you have run out of time there are options. See if any of your class materials or textbooks have summarised the sections you need, see if there are study guides available in the library on the topics to learn, or make targeted notes yourself on the key areas you have to memorise. You could also see if there is a friend where you could split the topics between yourself and share the notes you make. Don’t spend too long on this stage, it needs to be completed as quickly as possible.
5. STUDY! What does study actually mean? It means memorising the material you need to know so you can recall it in the exams, and practising the skills of the subject so you know how to do the types of questions you will have in the exam. To memorise your notes you need to test yourself over and over on them. You could
read a section, see what you can write down without looking then check. Then review the things you didn’t know again. Or you could do the same approach reading things out loud and then seeing what you can repeat out loud. Doing questions, practise essays, past exam questions will also help you understand what you know, and what you need to spend more time on.
Remember, the key is to get started. Procrastination won't serve you well at this point. Embrace the challenge, and you'll be surprised at how much you can accomplish when you're focused and determined. Your ability to absorb and apply information quickly is stronger than you think. Finally, I’m a firm believer that:
EFFORT = SUCCESS!

Assistant Principal Curriculum, Learning and Innovation
Year 11 and 12 Student Absences for Semester ReportsAs we approach the end of Semester 2 for Year 11 and 12, I would like to remind parents about completing their child's absence reasons. Explaining absences ensures your child’s attendance records are accurate and reported correctly.
To complete your child's absence reports:
1. Log in to your Sentral Parent Portal.
2. Navigate to the Absences section.
3. Review your unexplained absences and provide a brief explanation for each.
Parents can review their child’s attendance records by selecting their child's profile and navigating to Attendance.
Year 11 Examinations
A reminder that Year 11 Examinations continue in Week 9 in G Block.
Room Changes: Please check Sentral Daily Notices and the Hub window each day for your room changes.
Access to G Block: G-Block will be roped off during the examination period. Students are asked to walk around the block to access their classrooms.
Behaviour Expectations: If you are in classrooms near G-Block, please:
· Line up quietly
· Exit quietly to avoid disrupting exams.
Out of Bounds Area: During the trial exam period, the area between D and B Blocks is out of bounds. Students with lockers in this area must access them quickly and quietly, then move promptly to the main areas of the school.
Thank you for your cooperation, and best of luck to all Year 11 students!
Transition to Compass
Carroll College will be moving away from Sentral and transitioning to Compass in 2026. This change brings us in line with all schools in the Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese, ensuring a consistent platform for families and staff across our system.
One of the most important features of Compass is event consent. From the start of Term 4, a new process will be implemented. All event consents must be completed through Compass by the due date, no later than one week before the event date. Parents receive an email notification when an event their child is involved in becomes available in Compass. It is vital that this deadline is met. Having all consents submitted one week prior allows staff to finalise student numbers, confirm bookings, arrange transport, and organise catering. Late consents place significant pressure on the organising teachers and front office staff and may result in students missing out on valuable experiences. Please note:
· Phone calls and emails cannot be accepted as consent. Each event has specific questions to be answered, and these can only be completed in Compass.
· It is the responsibility of students to remind their parents of any upcoming events to ensure consent is provided before the deadline.
We greatly appreciate your support in making this transition smooth and successful. Your cooperation in meeting consent deadlines will ensure that events run efficiently for everyone
This week’s reminders…
· Year 11 exams continue in Week 9.
· Good luck to your students competing at the Touch Football State Final on Wednesday 17 September.
· The HSC music practical exams will take place on Wednesday 17 September.
· On Thursday 18 September the Year 12 HSC Design and Technology projects will be marked.

NSW CCC Tennis Bathurst - Monday 1st September, 2025
On a freezing 0 degree and foggy Bathurst day, we experienced tennis in the morning that was cold, but thankfully the sun broke through and it ended up being a beautiful sunny day of 15 degrees.
The Girls Team consisting of Bonnie Dalgleish, Arielle Brantingham, Lullaby Lane and Georgia Lovegrove, came in ranked sixth and had to play against the third ranked, St. Mary’s, Gunnedah.
The girls were gallant but were unable to win a set and lost the match 6 sets to 0 (36/6 games). Georgia Lovegrove had a tight 6-4 singles set though after being up 4-2. We then went to a 5th/6th/7th/8th playoff against Mackillop College, Bathurst.
It was a tight match with the girls going down 5 sets to 1 (33 games to 22). Arielle Brantingham and Bonnie Dalgleish improved all day and won their doubles set 6-3. They also won our first set of the day. The Plate Shield 7th v 8th spot was against Domremy College, Five Dock. The girls were dominant and came away with the victory 4 sets to 2 (30 games to 6). Strong performances from Arielle Brantingham (6/0 in both singles and doubles), Bonnie Dalgleish (6/2 singles and 6/0 doubles) and Lullaby Lane winning her maiden singles set 6/0 and doubles 6/1. A superb performance from the girls who came 7th overall in the state for Catholic schools.
Congratulations to all the players who represented the College with pride and great sportsmanship. It was an honour to be involved with such fine ambassadors.

Netball - South Coast Schools Cup Finals
Our CCB netballers have had a fantastic day at the South Coast Schools Cup Final in week 6. Our 9/10 girls team finished in 3rd place overall, winning 4 games and losing a couple of closely contested games. Our 9/10 boys team came in runners up!!! They played some outstanding netball through their pool rounds and into the finals to make it to the grand final….In the dying seconds of their grand final when it looked like it was going to be a draw and head into extra time, the opposition were able to quickly score, to beat us by 1 goal. Both teams played with amazing sportsmanship all day and were impeccable representatives for the College. It was an absolute pleasure to be with them for this event.

Archdiocesan Basketball
On Wednesday 27 August, CCB competed in the 2025 Archdiocesan Basketball Championships in Canberra. We entered 6 teams this year - 7/8 boys and girls, 9/10 boys and girls and open boys and girls. Students have been attending regular training sessions throughout the term in preparation for game day. All teams played well through the day and showed great sportsmanship and team work. Unfortunately none of our teams progressed through the pool stages into the finals, but there were still many highlights and a few close games amongst the teams. I would like to thank all the students for their participation and hard work on the day.
A big thanks to all our coaches who put in many hours of training and organistaion to get our teams ready for the day - Mr J Harding, Mr D Harding, Mrs Davis and Ms Blackmore. I would also like to thank the 2 Sports Coaching students Tarlaya Te-Kowhai and Georgia Lovegrove who did a fantastic job all day running the bench.
