Father's Day Breakfast
On Friday, 4th September, the College Community gathered for the annual Father’s Day Breakfast, celebrating the fathers, carers and father-figures who are such an important part of the St Aloysius College community.
We were privileged to hear from St Aloysius parents, Professor Mathews Nkhoma, Scott Ellerton and Professor Ramon Spaaij, who offered profound reflections on the values of belonging and community, the power of self-belief and perseverance, and the importance of embracing challenges with curiosity.
Their words were a powerful reminder of the role that community plays in helping young people develop confidence, curiosity, a sense of belonging, and the capacity to meet challenges with courage and possibility.
We thank everyone who came together to acknowledge the power of unity. In particular, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers for the gifts of their time and wisdom; our student performers; our staff; and our extremely generous raffle prize donors:
- Building Engineering
- Compnow
- North Melbourne Football Club
- SEMZ
- MPS Integrated

Together, the breakfast and raffle raised more than $2,500 for Mercy Works and Sr Mai Nguyen-Doan’s Sudan Project.
