We wanted to provoke some reminiscing of years gone by, so we're going to dig into the St Bernard's College Archives and fish out some memories! We'd love it if you have photos from your time at St Bernard's and would be willing to send them in to share with us!

On Friday, 3 June we gathered as a College to recognise Reconciliation week, National Reconciliation Week is intended to celebrate Indigenous history and culture in Australia and foster reconciliation discussion and activities.

We also induct our newest FIRE carrier's during this assembly, an acronym for “Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education,” is an initiative through the Catholic Aboriginal Ministry of Victoria.

It was a humbling assembly as we all had an opporuntity to reflect on what we can do better to recognise and support Australia's First Nation's people.

In 2020, Anthony or Moff as he is known to his friends had a series of seizures and was diagnosed with having a brain tumour called an oligodendroglioma. He had awake brain surgery to remove as much of the tumour as possible, followed by 12 months of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the life expectancy from the moment of diagnoses for his type of tumour is currently just 10 years.

He received great treatment and support from the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. In return, he is undertaking a mammoth fundraising bike ride titled the “River to Reef” bike ride (that’s right, on a push bike). He started from the Alfred Hospital on Sunday, 15th May 2022 and headed down to Tidal River before he heads all the way up the east coast of Australia to Cape Tribulation that's over 4,000 kms or nearly 2,500 miles.

Anthony is the younger brother of Garry (’73), Peter (’76), and David (’79).
