150 Year Celebration of the Christian Brothers 

On Thursday 31 July 2025, students and staff from Assumption College Warwick attended a special celebration at The Cathedral of St Stephen in Brisbane, commemorating 150 years of the Christian Brothers’ presence in Queensland.

As a college that shares in the Christian Brothers’ legacy, we were honoured to take part in this historic occasion. It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on their enduring contributions to faith, education, and service—values that continue to shape our community today.

Year 9 – Becoming a Band Project, Term 3

Throughout Term 3, our Year 9 Music students embraced the challenge of the

“Becoming a Band” project. Tasked with forming their own rock bands, students collaborated to write original songs, rehearse chosen repertoire, and design unique logos and uniforms that reflected their band identity.

Beyond the creative process, students took ownership of the logistics—organising their own performance venue and managing the finer details of event planning. Their chosen stage? A lunchtime concert at St Mary’s Primary School, where they performed in Week 10 to an enthusiastic young audience.

Two bands, Rebel Daisies and Echo Riot, delivered outstanding performances, showcasing not only musical talent but teamwork, creativity, and leadership. Their energy and professionalism left a lasting impression on the primary school students and staff.

Congratulations to all involved for turning this ambitious project into a memorable success!

Workshop Update: A Refurbished Trailer with Big Benefits

We’re excited to share that our workshop has recently refurbished an old box trailer, bringing a range of benefits to both staff and students. This project supports our commitment to sustainability by enabling us to recycle waste steel more efficiently, while also providing a modest financial return to support our Industrial Technology and Design (ITD) department.

Importantly, the trailer will play a key role in our newly introduced Certificate II in Engineering Pathways program. It offers students hands-on experience with real-world tasks such as product modification and maintenance. In the photo, students are applying a Raptor coating to the trailer’s interior—a durable alternative to paint that will protect the trailer for years to come as it’s used to transport recyclable materials.

The trailer will also be used during bearing servicing lessons, helping to create a more authentic and practical learning environment. We look forward to many years of use, and to the valuable learning opportunities this resource will continue to provide for our students.

Junior Science Olympiad

Two Year 9 students, Emily Martin and Katherine Martin, have been selected for Stage 2 of the Junior Science Olympiad.

The Junior Science Olympiad is a staged Science enrichment program for highly motivated students in Australian high schools in Years 7 to 10. The program is designed to inspire and challenge young Science enthusiasts. It supports thousands of talented students through national exams, digital training squad and talent development program, intensive residential camps and international competitions.

The Stage 2 program will involve weekly zoom lessons that alternate between two subjects in a fortnightly cycle. In term 3 these will be Biology and Earth Science, with two options for attendance, Wednesdays or Thursdays, which will cover the same content.

This is an exciting opportunity for Emily and Katherine, and Assumption College congratulates them on their efforts.

Bunya to Bay Journey

Last week, our Year 12 student James Wooding took part in the incredible Bunya to the Bay Journey, a 340 km adventure tracing the Brisbane River from source to sea. Blending environmental science, cultural heritage, and personal growth.

As part of Leg 3, James hiked, canoed, connected with Elders, and helped carry the message stick—a powerful symbol of shared learning and stewardship.
We hope he had an amazing time on this unforgettable journey!
