Pink Stumps Day 2020
This year, Pink Stumps Day was held on the 14th of February and it was a cracker. We raised $2186.00 for the McGrath Foundation which exceeded our already high goal of $2,000. It was great to see so many people wearing pink and supporting the McGrath Foundation, especially seeing as all the money raised was going to a great cause.
The event was such a hit that a reporter from the Warwick Daily News came to Assumption to take photos of all of us having fun and wearing pink. The event could not have happened without the help of the teachers and senior students, we truly appreciate you giving up lessons and break time to make the day possible.
The teachers beat the Grade 12 students again in the Student vs Teacher cricket match this time by a whopping 38 runs, but everybody had a lot of fun. The day was a huge success, and everyone seemed to enjoy it (even the weather).
Thank you to our sponsors N & T Cox Floor coverers & Back to Health Chiropractic (Students socks). Thanks once again to everybody who contributed to Pink Stumps Day and I hope that it will be just as fun, if not more so, next year.

Hatch Retreat
In week 5, our Year 7 and 8 students had the opportunity to retreat from the daily work of classes and assignments. They were lead in a reflection on areas such as:
- Team building
- Motivation
- Dealing with failure
- Positive interactions
The day was a great opportunity for students to start the year on the right foot and for our Year 7s to really get to know each other as a cohort.
