Port Pirie’s St Mark's College, Bosco Campus (High School), was involved in Catholic Education Week in a range of ways, as was the Benedict campus. At the Bosco campus everyone celebrated with a Rainbow Casual Day, a blanket drive resulting in over 70 blankets being donated and fundraising events including a "Footy Kick to Kick Competition". Over $660 was raised for the Nepal Earthquake Appeal. What a successful community day!
Four Catholic schools across South Australia have been awarded $6.34 million in grants for capital works to improve learning spaces, increase opportunities for disadvantaged students and cater for more diverse learning needs.
The State Government grants — $6.34 million for Catholic schools and $6.38 million for independent schools — are for building projects to commence over the next year.
Introduced in 2018 to ensure all students have access to a first-class education, the latest funding under the scheme has been approved for four projects at Catholic schools and 103 smaller projects at independent schools.
