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.
Each year the St Bernard's College Foundation inducts a new person into the College Hall of Fame.
Inductees are people who fulfil the following criteria:

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 a particularly challenging two years, we are excited to announce that we will have the opportunity to hold Reunions again in 2022.
We have made the decision to hold individual events for all groups that have missed out due to COVID over the last two years.

A teaser this week as we'll get a chance to interview Old Collegian Brendan Scarce and hear more of his story,
Brendan has published a book, A Life Lived in Love: From Orphan to Advocate and has devoted chapter 5 pages 48 - 53 to his time at St Bernard's College - Well worth a read.
The College is bubbling with life again as we close out the first week of Term 1. It is fantastic to have our students back in particular a warm welcome to our Year 7 students.
Construction of the new senior building is steaming ahead and we are on track for a 2023 opening as planned.
The College has also entered into an agreement to take over Resurrection House, expanding our current facilities and providing more opportunity's for our students - Dr Michael Davies goes into further detail in the video below.
We are looking forward to a massive 2022 for St Bernard's!
