Welcome Back – Diocese of Ballarat

Welcome Back

After two months of remote learning due to COVID-19, on June 9, the Damascus College Ballarat community welcomed back Year 7-10 students as they transitioned back to onsite learning. The last eight weeks of remote learning has been challenging and life-giving, and as a community we are now extremely excited to have all Damascus College students back on campus.

To assist in providing a warm welcome to students, our senior SRC students and staff formed a Guard of Honour, where they all cheered on each other, and held specially designed signs showing unique welcome back messages, for all to see and enjoy.

Welcome back to our beautiful campus students and staff – we missed you!

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to the Aboriginal Elders past, present and future for they hold the traditions, memories and wisdom of Mother Earth on which we place our feet today.
