Thomas Carr Open Day: Successful Celebration of Our Community

Last Sunday, the College grounds were buzzing with nearly 500 visitors who were keen to discover the richness and diversity of the programs we offer at Thomas Carr College.

Our dedicated and hardworking staff provided a snapshot of the learning, wellbeing, spiritual, sporting, cultural, musical, artistic, and technological offerings while our student College Ambassadors proudly led tours. Our visitors enjoyed Devonshire Tea and barista quality coffee prepared by our students, met our Student Leaders and listened to our talented musicians.

We are extremely grateful for the staff for their preparation and engagement with our visitors, and the students who came to school on Sunday, in full school uniform, to support our Open Day and promote the College with pride and enthusiasm.
