The Year 12 Retreat is a pivotal moment in the Gilroy journey—a time to step away from the demands of the HSC and everyday life, to pause and reflect on the fullness of our life's journey in the context of a Catholic education. During the retreat, our seniors shared deep conversations, moments of quiet reflection, and plenty of laughter as they explored their faith, their friendships, and their future paths. From shared meals to the powerful "Letter to Self" session, this experience has strengthened the bonds of our 2026 cohort. We are so proud of the vulnerability and leadership shown by our Year 12 students as they prepare for the final chapters of their high school journey. #GilroyCatholicCollege #Year12Retreat #ClassOf2026 #FaithAndSpirit #SeniorJourney

Students worked incredibly hard throughout Term 1 to earn house points, and we’re pleased to announce that Tchingal Red House came out on top with an impressive 1841 points! Points were earned through merits, avoiding detentions, participation in community events led by student leaders, and representing the school in sports and carnivals. To celebrate their achievement, Tchingal students in Years 7–10 enjoyed delicious donuts during their pastoral lesson last week, while our student leaders made their way around at recess delivering donuts to Years 11 and 12. Congratulations, Tchingal! Keep up the amazing effort and school spirit!
