Sydney Catholic Schools establishes two vaccination hubs

Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) has partnered with South East Sydney Local Health District to establish vaccination hubs for 5-11 year-olds at two of its schools: Marcellin College Randwick and St Patrick’s College Sutherland.

The Marcellin College hub is located in the Marist Centre (entrance off Avoca Street, Randwick, next to Royal Randwick Shopping Centre) while the St Patrick’s College Sutherland hub is located in Rice Hall (entrance off President Avenue, Sutherland). 

These pop up clinics have been established to provide a known and comfortable place within our system of schools for our youngest students to be vaccinated. 

Bookings are available through NSW Health from 18-21 January and the clinic will be set up again eight weeks after the first appointment so that the children can receive their second dose. 

Executive Director of Sydney Catholic Schools, Mr Tony Farley, said “I hope that setting up these clinics will give parents the comfort and confidence of a familiar location and community approach to access vaccination.”

“Our schools are places of safety and certainty and the close collaboration between our staff, parents and students is the key to meeting and overcoming any challenges in the future,” Mr Farley added.

If you would like to take the opportunity to have your child vaccinated before they return to school, you can book an appointment using the links or QR codes below.

AIDAN’S STORY

Marcellin College Randwick 2019 alumnus, Aidan Dunne, currently works at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney while studying nursing at the Australian Catholic University. 

Aidan Dunne with Sydney Catholic Schools' education officer Cheryl Fernandez Aidan Dunne with Sydney Catholic Schools’ education officer Cheryl Fernandez.

It’s where he met De La Salle College Ashfield alumnus, singer-songwriter Tommy Francisco, for the first time last year.

Aidan says his faith journey began at a Sydney Catholic Schools’ Evangelisation Day, which he attended in Year 9 “to get out of going to school for the day.” 

“I’ve always been a person that required basic proofs about the complexities of the universe,” Aidan told the latest cohort of SCS students at this year’s Evangelisation Day.

He explained to them what led to his deepening of faith. 

“One night, I was at a boxing class and I injured myself so I decided to leave early and go home,” Aidan began. 

“I was sitting and waiting for my mother to pick me up when I asked God to give me a sign.

“It was a still night and I decided to go for a quick run while I was waiting. 

“I got up and entered a dark and deserted alleyway and I said the only words I knew in the Bible from Psalm 23:4 and all of …
