The curtain came down on the Beauty & The Beast on Saturday evening - a collaboration between the students and staff at Santa Maria College and Parade College. It was a wonderful show, this year held at Santa Maria College, with students from both schools showcasing their amazing talents, both on stage and behind the scenes.
A sincere thank you to all the amazing students and staff who worked tirelessly to produce a very entertaining show. We certainly look forward to 2027.
Mother’s Day was celebrated on Sunday 10 May. In recognition of this special day, the College hosted our annual Mother’s Day breakfast on Tuesday 12 May in the Greening Auditorium. Three of our amazing students shared heartfelt reflections on the important role their mum’s play in their lives and this was acknowledged by the entire gathering. Our wonderful Parents of Parent (POP) committee members, along with some extra volunteers, with the support of our staff, ensured everything ran smoothly. We look forward to an even bigger event in 2027.
The College has added a new item of clothing to the sport uniform for students. Following consultation with our current Year 12 Prefect Team in late 2025, a Parade ‘Puffa Jacket’ is now available for purchase from Academy Uniforms for $98. This uniform item can be worn as the outer garment when wearing the sport uniform. It can be worn instead of the current PE sport jacket, or on top of this jacket as we head into the colder months. (A reminder that students are not permitted to wear hoodies under their College uniform)
The Term 2 College Assembly was held on Friday 15 May. We acknowledged and celebrated the wonderful achievements of many students across a range of academic and extra-curricular endeavours, and students across both campuses received ‘shout outs’ for displaying daily acts of kindness and respect that reflect aspects of our College Theme, ‘Walking Together: Relationships, Respect, Resilience.’
Our Lower House Captains and Vice Captains at Year 9, along with our year level student leaders in Years 7, 8, 10 and 11, were formally inducted into their roles for 2026. We congratulate these students on their wonderful efforts in setting an example for how we want to build our culture at Parade – a culture of respect. We look forward to their positive contributions to Parade in 2026.
