Throughout the day, students showcased remarkable determination and resilience across both track and field events. The novelty events and team sports were equally popular, allowing students from all year levels to compete for their house in various games. Enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and enjoyment were on full display, and it was fantastic to see some old scholars returning as volunteer referees to support the event. Old Scholar and triple Champions of Champions 100m winner Lachlan Sands also returned to present the 2025 Champion of Champions medal.

The dance floor in the house tent arena was back for another year, where the Nutbush and the macarena had students and teachers alike showing off their moves! Music teachers Mr Donovan and Mr Musci kept the energy high, ensuring that even those not competing had a way to celebrate and enjoy themselves.

The House Captains played a vital role in making the day a success. Their dedication to filling event spots, motivating their peers, and fostering house spirit was outstanding. From decorating house tents with vibrant colours and banners to leading traditional chants and songs, they went above and beyond to create an entertaining experience for all.

The 4x100m relay and the Champions of Champions races were filled with anticipation and excitement, as the College鈥檚 fastest 100m runners put on a show for everyone. It was Mitchell McDonald (Year 12) who was crowned Champion for the boys ahead of Benilde House Captain Logan Hughes (Year 12) in 2^nd and James Chalubek (Year 12) in 3^rd. Anelise Bewry (Year 11) came back from a 2^nd place in 2024 to be crowned the 2025 champion girls runner ahead of 2024 winner Lily Colville (Year 11) in 2^nd and Year 9 Miguel Middle School Captain Lara Dragani in 3^rd.

The top of house leaderboard rotated between Miguel and Jaime for the entire day, however it was Miguel just taking the Brother Chris Gorringe House Cup narrowly over a late charge from Solomon by only 26 points. Mutien debuted their marching band at the final house relay races, however it was Benilde that were able to claim the Geoff Cornish Spirit and Sportsmanship Cup due to their support for others and willingness to fill events all day.

Congratulations to all students who participated on the day and thank you kindly to the students, staff and support personnel that made it such a memorable experience for everyone involved.

On the final day of Term 3, St Michael鈥檚 College came alive with a special celebration 鈥� De La Salle Day. Students and staff from both campuses united for a day filled with joy, reflection, and community, all in honour of the legacy of St John Baptist de La Salle.

The day began with a Liturgy, where we remembered the work and sacrifices of St John Baptist de La Salle and the Brothers who committed to his mission of providing a human and Christian education for all. As we celebrated our Founder, we also acknowledged the 70-year history of St Michael鈥檚 College, a legacy built on these same values of faith, education and service.

This year, our De La Salle Day celebrations were particularly special. Inspired by the College fetes that took place in our early years, the College transformed into a vibrant 鈥楩estival of Youth.鈥�

The campus buzzed with energy as students enjoyed entertainment, games, music performances and delicious food from various food trucks. It was a day that reflected not only the spirit of fun but also the sense of community that has always been central to St Michael鈥檚 College.

Thank you to all who contributed to making this day a huge success!

All proceeds raised will be donated to the Lasallian Foundation, ensuring that our celebration continues to make a difference.

As Peer Support Leaders, we have spent a lot of time this year mentoring Year 7 and Year 2 students. We鈥檝e had several visits to the Primary Campus to teach and support our younger Year 2 brothers and sisters. Spending time with them was a fun and entertaining leadership experience. Their energy and enthusiasm made the time spent with them enjoyable. I loved seeing how curious and eager they were to learn and how excited they were when we arrived on Campus; it was a positive bonding experience. – Jaeda K

Throughout the year, Peer Support Leaders were fortunate to experience several leadership activities, whether mentoring Year 2s at the Primary Campus, or listening to informative and inspirational presenters which highly demonstrated the aspects of leadership.
