Catholic Mission

Magdalene Students and Staff work together under the leadership of the College Pastoral Team and stage SRC leaders to run a series of events to support the work of Catholic Mission. These events usually take place in Term 3 and often take the form of Staff verses Students challenges. In recent years the annual Mr Kevin Wade Memorial Oztag match has been one of the many challenges included in this event.
