Today, we proudly and officially opened our Mannix Year 7 & 8 Learning Precinct, marking a significant milestone in the life of our College.
It was a privilege to welcome a number of distinguished guests, including Reverend Archbishop Tim Costelloe SDB, Archbishop of Perth, Bishop Thinh Nguyen, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Melbourne, College Rector Father Peter Carroll SDB, our Board Chair Stephen Moloney and members of the College Board, and Principal Mark Ashmore. We also welcomed local Members of Parliament Steve Dimopoulos and Matt Fregon, Mayor Stuart James, along with our valued partners from Newpol Construction, McIldowie Partners and Orchard Designs.
We were also pleased to be joined by community partners who continue to play an important role in the life of the College, while our staff and students shared in the occasion via a livestream.
A particularly meaningful part of today’s celebration was welcoming Archbishop Tim Costelloe back to Salesian College Chadstone. As a past student, former teacher and Rector of the College, his presence and leadership in blessing and officially opening the precinct made this occasion all the more special for our community.
More than just new buildings, this precinct is a place of welcome, connection and growth. It has been thoughtfully created to support our students at a pivotal stage of their journey, where confidence, character and a strong sense of belonging are shaped each day.
We are deeply grateful to all who brought this vision to life through leadership, partnership and care, and to everyone who joined us for this special and historic occasion.
