Acknowledgment

St Columba’s Catholic College and the St Columba’s Art Prize acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land and waters on which we gather to work, learn, and celebrate; this is the country of the Dharug and Gundungurra people.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and we extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

About

For more than 60,000 years the Blue Mountains has been a place that has shaped rich cultures, fostered community, and inspired creativity.

The St Columba’s Art Prize seeks to continue our region’s rich traditions of artmaking and storytelling.

It will offer artists a platform on which to share their work and add to the ever-evolving representation of our world and its people.

ST COLUMBA'S CATHOLIC COLLEGE SPRINGWOOD

St Columba’s Catholic College is a co-educational school for students in Years 7 to 12.

Surrounded on all sides by the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, the College was originally built as a seminary in 1909.

Today it combines historic sandstone buildings with state-of-the-art, modern facilities that create a unique learning environment.

The striking mix of old and new reminds our students to value the past, live for the present, and have hope for the future.

The College features purpose-built learning facilities; extensive playing fields and courts; a cross-country track; a large and well-equipped agriculture plot; outdoor performance spaces; and a pristine, natural setting.
