Edmund Rice Day On Friday 22 March the College celebrated Edmund Rice Day, our College Feast Day. The day began with Mass celebrated by Fr Michael Twigg with the assistance of several student leaders. The ceremony focused on the four touchstones giving ideals authentically linked with the Charism of Blessed Edmund Rice - Justice and Solidarity, Inclusive Community, Gospel Spirituality and Liberating Education. The annual Edmund Rice Day Cross-Country/Walkathon was then held, followed by a celebratory lunch. The afternoon was filled with student activities which created a great deal of interest. These included the traditional Edstock - battle of the bands. Seven bands lined up to compete for the Edstock Trophy. This was a keenly fought contest with every band performing very well. A wide variety of genres was on display; from metal to swing and everything in between. Audience support was evident and all the boys were well supported. The stand out performance of the day was from ‘Rycka’, Riley Harman and Macka Heard.They featured a great balance of both voice and instruments. When not listening to the bands in the ‘Quad’, students were getting involved with the popular sumo challenge, longest slide, battle ball, gladiator challenge along with many other games and activities. It made for a very festive atmosphere. The day came to a finish with Year 7 student Thu Sa La winning the Edmund Rice Day Gift race on Zampatti Oval as well as the annual staff v student Gaelic football match. After many years of defeat, the staff team finally managed to pull off a win - much to the dismay of the students! The day, through donation and sponsorship, raised $45,832.55 for projects in Uganda, Africa and here in Australia with funds going to Edmund Rice Camps for children in need. We thank everyone who raised money through sponsorship or made a donation towards the day.
