OPEROO - Keeping Student Medical Information Up to Date
As we continue to prioritise the health and wellbeing of our students, we kindly remind all families to ensure their child’s medical information is current on Operoo.
Accurate and up to date medical details are vital to help us respond appropriately in the event of an illness, injury or emergency during the school day, on excursions, camps, or during sports activities. This includes conditions such as asthma, allergies, diabetes, or any other medical needs, as well as current action plans and medication requirements.
Please take a few moments to log in to Operoo and check your child’s profile. Updates can be made at any time, and we ask that families notify the school immediately if there are any significant changes.
Your support in keeping this information current helps us provide the best possible care for your child.
If you have any questions or require assistance accessing Operoo, please contact the College or email officemanager@notredame.vic.edu.au

Last week, CES celebrated all things Justice at the annual Sandhurst Justice Matters Camp held in Beechworth. Many of our secondary schools attended, including Notre Dame College, St Anne’s College, Galen College, Marian College, CCW, St Augustine’s College, SMOTA, Marist College Bendigo, and FCJ College.
Students were given opportunities to dialogue, reflect, and develop their understanding of justice from a Catholic perspective. Students attended various workshops, listened to guest speakers, and met in hubs where they could discuss their learnings with others and make new friends.
English Creative Writing at Emmaus
During Term 1 in English at Emmaus, students completed a creative writing piece. Students were able to choose their form of writing that they felt best expressed their feelings and understanding of The Stolen Generation.
Year 9 student, Ava-Jae Singh, has written an amazing poem that describes the need to stay grounded in her culture and traditions of her birth. To know the ancient land and The Dreaming and the respect for the ancestors who walked before her. The words are enhanced beautifully by the highly emotive artwork designed by another student Jade Davison.
Artist - Jade Davison 🎨
"This painting tells a story of trauma and the journey through it. At the heart of the piece is a young girl, representing how trauma can deeply affect individuals. The intricate patterns on her skin reflect the lasting imprint of trauma—its repetitive nature, and how it stays with you throughout your journey. Surrounding her is a protective bubble, symbolising the isolating cycle that trauma can create, keeping you trapped within its boundaries. Beyond this bubble are Meeting Places, symbolising the support of family and friends who exist outside the trauma, offering connection and guidance. Just beyond them flows a river—its strong currents represent the challenges and resistance faced when trying to break free from trauma’s grip. The snake in the painting is a powerful symbol of transformation and healing. As it sheds its skin, it signifies renewal, growth, and the beginning of a new journey. The two pathways that branch from the snake symbolise the choices we face in healing—different directions, each with their own challenges and possibilities, leading toward a future shaped by resilience and recovery." It is hoped this piece will resonate with the visitors to the New Wellbeing Building.
Jade and Ava-Jae presented this thought-provoking piece to the Director of Wellbeing, Megan Gray at our Reconciliation Assembly on Tuesday.
Well done Jade and Ava-Jae, how talented you both are. Thank you for sharing your stories with the College community.
