Welcome to Bernie's Two Minute Friday where we will invite you to take a couple of minutes out from your busy schedule to read about what is happening in the world - all with a St Bernard’s Old Collegians focus.
22K for 2K22
The St Bernard's College Foundation is looking to raise $22,000 for the start of 2022. This would allow us to achieve our goal of raising $100,000 for the St Bernard's College Scholarship and Bursary Fund.
We are encouraging Old Collegians to consider one of the following gifts for our 22K for 2K22 campaign.
With your help, we can continue to provide Catholic boys of Essendon the opportunity to fulfil their dreams at St Bernard’s College.
Remember Gifts are tax deductible.
After another tough year with managing lockdowns, remote learning, and all the pivoting we have all experienced, We have done the hard yard's and now the light is at the end of the tunnel!
We hope everyone gets a chance to see friends. family and loved ones over the Christmas break, and we are looking forward to a big 2022
From all of us at the College, the St Bernard's Foundation & The Old Collegian Association

The College and wider racing community have been deeply shocked and saddened by the news of Chris Caserta's (SBC 2012)
Chris disappeared during a late-night swim at Surfers Paradise on Queensland's Gold Coast on Wednesday.
Volunteers and emergency services continued their extensive air, land and sea search for Mr Caserta at about 6am this morning.
The operation, which had lasted more than 34 hours, had been unsuccessful until about 8.30am, when volunteers located a body about 200 metres offshore from Main Beach, which was confirmed to be Chris
Rest In Peace Chris. You will be greatly missed, You will ALWAYS be a Bernard's Boy.
