Community BBQ & Family Day

Sunday 9th February 2025

On Sunday 9th Feb we hosted our first Community BBQ & Family Day at our primary school campus in Tarragindi.


What a day! It was a joy to have so many families and supporters come together to enjoy an afternoon of community and games, from an impromptu cricket match to 3 and a half hours of jumping castle fun. With around 250 people in attendance, the sausages were sizzling furiously and the face painting in constant high demand! 


Lead by our Principal Kenneth, the day was punctuated by praying the Angelus together at midday, a beautiful prayer commemorating the incarnation of Christ which we will adopt in the day to day life of our school.


This year will transform the site into an operational school, in preparation for welcoming our first students next January. As Kenneth mentioned on the day, our enrolments are quickly filling up. If you are interested in enrolling a child at St John Henry Newman College, please get in touch with us today to ensure you don’t miss out! You can request an Expression of Interest in Enrolment form by emailing Sophia at sophia.shogren@newmancollege.qld.edu.au.


Thank you to everyone who joined us for the afternoon, especially our volunteers and generous donors who helped make Sunday possible. By God’s grace, Newman College has become a thriving community of families and supporters, and we look forward to hosting many more of these events in the future.
