AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPH
Zack Battistuzzi from Year 7, took this photo last year during a photographic workshop in Year 6. The person running the course thought it was very artistic and entered it into the “Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize”.
There were 25 winners recently announced in the Australia wide, K-6 student section of the competition and Zack's photo was chosen as one of the winners, receiving a digital camera as his prize.
We would like to congratulate Zack on this achievement.

HSC HELP
Our wonderful State Library (Macquarie Street in the City) run a number of free, hands-on workshops for HSC students in English, History and Legal Studies subjects. They are being held during the upcoming April school holidays and provide a wonderful opportunity for any Year 12 students to consolidate their learning.
Feedback from past students who attended included…
"The most valuable part of the program was showing us how to research effectively",
"I liked specifically going through the different databases and how to best access resources", "I know the way to get resources on sl.nsw for my subject which I couldn't do before on my first visit", "The vast range of resources available!"

An Invitation to Past Students, Staff, Parents or Friends of Magdalene Catholic High School
This year heralds Magdalene Catholic High School's 20th year of operation.
To celebrate this significant milestone, we are planning a beautiful event in the form of a Gala Dinner at The Cube, Campbelltown Catholic Club on Friday, 18th May. It will be a night filled with music, memories, fine food and wine and an opportunity to catch up with old friends.
We would like to take this opportunity to invite all those who have had an association with Magdalene over the years whether as a student, faculty member, parent or friend to join us in celebrating the passion and dedication of the many individuals who have nurtured the growth and reputation of our wonderful school. The night is very much about honouring the people who form the fabric of Magdalene, and we are sure that the pride that connects our community will resonate with all who attend.
The Black Tie event will begin at 6.3opm, with pre dinner drinks and musical entertainment. We will enjoy a premium three course meal with beer, wine and sparkling included. Lucky door prizes, including a Luxurious 2 night Farmstay in the delightful Southern Highlands, will be drawn throughout the night. There are some wonderful performances in the planning, a few trips down memory lane, and special gifts for each guest to take home.
The ticket price is $125 per person, through our booking site www.trybooking.com/361330
We very much hope you are able to join us on the 18th May for this exciting event, celebrating Magdalene past and present. encourage you to extend this invitation to your family and friends to ensure it is a memorable night for our entire Magdalene community.
