Aspiring Olympian at St Vincent’s

Mia Kelly, a year three student at St Vincent’s Primary School in Aranda, is an example of the extraordinary talent and dedication within Catholic schools in Canberra Goulburn.

Mia is a gymnast. She took her first class when she was just four years old, and now trains four days a week, for four hours at a time- that’s 16 hours a week. Her commitment has secured her top honours at recent state titles and first place in floor, vault and bars, and second overall champion at national level. It’s not surprising she aspires to be an Olympian.

St Michael’s - Miss Jordan’s Garden Tribute

St Michael’s Primary has been awarded the Woolworths Inspiring Schools Award 2017 for the ACT. The cash prize will contribute to building a special tribute to much loved year three student Jordan Jade Taylor who passed away from a brain tumour in term two.

The St Michael's school community was devastated and deeply saddened by Jordon’s passing and will join her family in constructing a greenhouse in her honour. Jordan loved science and had started to identify her causes and how she planned to make this world a better place. The Greenhouse Project will be called Miss Jordan’s Garden and aims to promote sustainability for our world and for our children’s future. Appreciation is extended to Woolworths and other local businesses for their ongoing support.
