Community Development Experience Eddies Day Experience Eddies Day is targeted at prospective students going into Years 3 – 6. It invites potential students to experience what it is like to be an Eddies Boy, by creating an Eddies experience for them. Throughout the day students take part in College classes including Information Technology, Food Technology, Science, Physical Education, and Applied Sciences (woodwork). Each class is run by a teacher and assisted by current students. The day is set up to encourage prospective students to develop an understanding of the expectations of St Edmund’s and to begin meaningful relationships and current students and staff members. If the student chooses St Edmund’s, this day can provide an effective social framework to help them transition. In 2021, Experience Eddies Day was held in both April and July.
Open Day The College Open Day is held to provide prospective students and their families the opportunity to explore the College facilities, as well as meet our staff and students. Current junior students acted as guides to escort visitors, with each faulty setting up an exhibition along the tour route. Food technology students made and served finger food to guests, keeping the atmosphere friendly and welcoming. Each family was able to become acquainted with the aspects of the college their son/s were most interested in. Open Day in 2021 was held in May.
