He will go on to represent NSW at the National Championships on the Gold Coast in July. This is a wonderful comeback story for Ashton.

In the third module of the Interfaith Dialogue Program, students from Gilroy Catholic College and the Australian Islamic College took part in meaningful visits to both Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in Kellyville and the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque. Facilitated by Catholic Mission, the Interfaith Dialogue Program promotes cooperative interactions among people of different religions, faiths, and spiritual beliefs. The program is designed to foster mutual understanding, respect, and collaboration, with the broader goal of encouraging peace and tolerance in our diverse society. These visits provided students with the opportunity to experience the sacred spaces, practices, and perspectives of both Catholic and Islamic traditions. Through open dialogue and shared experiences, students gained deeper insights into each other’s beliefs and values—laying the foundation for lasting interfaith friendships and a more harmonious future.

Alec - Year 12 Angelina - Year 12 Kahtia - Year 12 Mila - Year 9 Alec and the Parramatta Blue team put in a strong effort, coming away with 2 wins and 2 losses, finishing third in their pool.

Kahtia finished as the leading goal scorer and demonstrated the important role she played in the team. Mila Stribl, one of the younger players, played with determination and a can-do attitude.

We were thrilled to welcome Lauren Carter, Senior Planner from The Hills Shire Council, for a special Lunch and Learn session with our students this week! Lauren generously shared her career journey into the world of urban planning, giving us an inspiring look at what led her to the profession, what she loves most about her job, and what a "typical day in the life" really looks like. Her kindness, honesty, and thoughtful answers to our students’ questions made a real impact, helping spark interest in one of the most important (and sometimes overlooked!) careers shaping our communities. Thank you, Lauren, for your time and insight — we’re so grateful! #CareersInPlanning #LunchAndLearn #PathwaysInAction #UrbanPlanning #StudentOpportunities #CareerInspo #thesydneyhills
