IntroductionPresentation Night aims to celebrate the full array of life at Notre

Dame College in 2020. This special occasion focuses on

student’s accomplishments in academic achievement,

application to study, the arts, service and leadership.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are unable to

gather for Presentation Night. However, despite the challenges

that COVID-19 has presented to student learning and the

broader College community, our students give us every

reason to celebrate a hope-filled future.

At Notre Dame College, we endeavour to educate the whole

person; the hearts, minds and hands of our young people.

Our students are empowered to discover and develop their

gifts and talents. We want our students to be passionate about

what they do, to be the best they can be, not just for

themselves alone, but to make a difference in the world and

the lives of others.

A Notre Dame College education not only gives our students

knowledge, but also empowers them to be better people and,

in doing so, make the world just that little better!

Regards,

John Cortese,Principal Notre Dame College
