We were thrilled to welcome the next cohort of Gilroy Catholic College students at our Year 7 Orientation Day on Wednesday! Our incoming students were greeted at the gate by our College Leaders before beginning the day with a liturgy and information session in the Hall. After recess on the oval—blessed with glorious sunshine—they enjoyed ‘getting to know you’ activities and games, followed by a guided tour of the College led by our teachers and Student Leaders. The day was filled with smiles, excitement, and enthusiasm, with many students forming new friendships across different primary schools. Our wonderful Student Leaders guided and supported the Year 7 2025 cohort throughout the day, ensuring they felt welcomed and confident as they begin this new chapter. We are excited to welcome these students into the Gilroy community and look forward to watching them grow, flourish, and thrive as they embark on their educational journey! #2026year7 #cspd

Yesterday, the Gilroy Catholic College 2025/26 Leaders were officially commissioned—marking the beginning of bold ideas, fresh energy, and a shared sense of purpose. In her address, College Principal Ms Merryweather reminded our community that “Leadership is about service to others to build a better community.” She reflected further that, as Catholics, “we have the greatest model of leadership in Jesus Christ… Jesus Christ offers us a picture of leadership that should guide you in all you do over the next year.” Assistant Principal Mrs Rodriguez highlighted the significance of student voice, noting that “Student leadership plays an important role in our school—not just for those who hold formal positions, like the students we will soon acknowledge—but across every level of our community.” Our 2025/26 leaders step forward as the very leaders Pope Francis calls us to be: “leaders of thought, leaders of action, leaders of joy, leaders of hope, leaders of the construction of a better world.” Congratulations—and every blessing—to all our 2025/26 student leaders!

Following their participation in the Walk the Talk Workshops run by Women’s Community Shelters, the Gilroy Catholic College students felt inspired to make a meaningful contribution. Throughout last week, our student leaders organised a series of activities and competitions to raise awareness about domestic violence and highlight the vital role of women’s shelters. The initiative concluded on Friday, when students and staff were invited to wear something orange—the colour symbolising the campaign to end violence against women. Ella, Year 12, shared: “Last Friday, students generously donated items to our Women’s Community Shelter Hampers as part of the ‘Walk the Talk’ initiative against domestic violence. To show their support, students were also encouraged to wear an item of orange, helping to raise awareness. In total, we donated 854 items, which will be delivered in the coming weeks to Beecroft House. Thank you to the Gilroy Community for your care and generosity!”

We’re excited to announce a special OzTag charity match taking place this Thursday between Year 10 and Year 11! This event is more than a friendly competition — it’s a chance for our school community to come together and raise awareness for Men’s Health, with a particular focus on mental health. Many men face challenges silently, and events like this help spark important conversations and remind us to check in on the people around us. May the best year group win!

Gilroy College Adventurous Journey — 12–14 November 2026 Last week, Gilroy Catholic College students spent a rewarding three days in the Lower Hawkesbury area completing their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Qualifying Journey. Starting at Cowan, the group hiked to Brooklyn, paddled to Patonga, and then returned to finish at Parsley Bay via Refuge Bay. Thanks to good preparation and expert navigation, they kept on track throughout the expedition. The students embraced the challenge of the 15 km paddle to the finish — half of which was against an outgoing tide! Congratulations to all participants for their teamwork, resilience, and determination.

Recently, our students had the amazing opportunity to step into the world of the Royal Australian Navy and experience what it’s like to serve at sea! The day began at the Navy Life Expo 25 at the ICC in Darling Harbour, where students explored interactive and hands-on exhibits showcasing life and careers in the Australian Defence Force. From testing out flight simulators, practising sutures in an artificial limb to learning about the technology behind nuclear submarines, there was no shortage of excitement. Students also had the chance to chat directly with serving Navy personnel, gaining valuable insights, advice, and a glimpse into the teamwork, discipline, and adventure that comes with life in the Navy. Afterwards, students boarded the impressive HMAS Canberra, one of Australia’s largest naval ships, for an exclusive behind the scenes guided tour. They explored the bridge with the ship’s senior pilot, discovered how signalling systems work when communications are cut, and saw up close the enormous engines that power the ship. The sheer size of the vessel meant we definitely got all our steps in that day! It was an unforgettable experience, inspiring our students to think about the diverse career pathways and skills that can come from a future in the Australian Defence Force. A huge thank you to the Royal Australian Navy and all those involved for such a memorable and inspiring day. #CareersSuccess #RANLifeExpo #HMASCanberra #CSPD

Gilroy Catholic College Year 7 and 8 students recently took part in their PDHPE Swim Days—a fun, active and educational experience focused on developing vital water-survival skills. Throughout the program, students practised a range of survival strokes and rescue techniques designed to equip them with the knowledge and confidence to respond safely in aquatic environments. The day also offered an excellent opportunity for students to strengthen their teamwork, build confidence and develop essential water-safety awareness. Most importantly, students enjoyed themselves while learning how to feel safer and more capable in the water.
