What a Fantastic Open Day!

A huge thank you to all the children and families who joined us for our Lumen Christi Open Day! We were delighted to welcome you to our campus and provide the opportunity to expore our beautiful grounds, connect with our Lumen community and experience some of our core subjects and exciting electives.

A special shout-out to our incredible student tour guides and dedicated staff who helped make the day so warm, welcoming and memorable. We loved sharing a glimpse of life at Lumen Christi and can't wait to see many of you again soon!

NSW Community Health will visit the College to provide Yr 7 vaccinations to students on 10 June 2025.

Please ensure consent for your child has been completed prior to the day. Consent for vaccinations is to be completed online via your Service NSW account, please see below flyer for further details. For parents who are unable to provide consent online, paper consent forms will be available at the Front Office.

Uniform swap and sell will be held from 3:00pm - 4:00pm on Wednesday, 25 June in Room 607 (in the Primary building directly across from the Front Office).

What's a Uniform Swap and Sell? 

A uniform swap and sell is where pre-loved uniform items can be swapped, donated or purchased. 

How does it work?

There are 3 ways you can participate:

1. Swap a uniform item you own for another in our donated collection. For each item you bring in, you can swap it for any other uniform item at no cost. 
2. Purchase pre-loved items for cheap. If you're looking for extra items without swapping, you can purchase from our preloved collection for $5 per item (cash only).
3. Donate items. For now we are setting a 3 item limit on donations (we may loosen this in future depending on how things go). Donations can be brought to the front office prior to the event.

All items you are swapping or donating MUST be clean and in good condition.

Proceeds of all purchases will go towards school fundraising activities.  We plan to run 1-2 swaps per term, so if you can't make this one, keep an eye out for future events!
