On this Holy Thursday, we are drawn into a quiet, powerful moment—one that turns our expectations upside down. Jesus, Teacher and Lord, kneels before his disciples and washes their feet. In this simple yet profound act, he shows us what love truly looks like: not power or recognition, but humility and service. It is not always easy to follow this example. We may prefer to lead rather than serve, to be noticed rather than to quietly care for others. Yet Jesus invites us into something deeper—to love through action, to serve without hesitation, and to give of ourselves with open hearts. As Mrs Merryweather reflected in her address, we are challenged to ask: whose feet are we being called to wash today? It may not be in a literal sense, but in the small, everyday acts of kindness, patience, and compassion we offer to others. May this Holy Thursday stir within us a willingness to serve. May our hands be ready to help, our hearts open to love, and our lives shaped by humility. And in following His example, may we become living signs of that same self-giving love in the world. Wishing all our families a happy and blessed Easter. Thank you to students Lachlan, Hugo, Christopher and Mia-Lore for taking photos for us to share with our College community!

The Gilroy Catholic College 2026 Duke of Edinburgh Bronze group recently completed their Practice Adventurous Journey at Crosslands Reserve, Hornsby Heights. The expedition consisted of paddling and hiking legs and students enjoyed the opportunity to disconnect from the normal routine and experience the serenity of their surroundings. All of the students showed incredible teamwork and resilience as they hiked and paddled through unfamiliar terrain together. It was a truly rewarding experience for both students and staff, and we can’t wait to see what they achieve on their Qualifying Adventurous Journey!

Gilroy Catholic College proudly acknowledges and congratulates our 2026 cohort who have successfully completed the Step Up Into Teaching program in partnership with Australian Catholic University (ACU), graduating last week. As part of this outstanding initiative, six of our Year 12 students completed two advanced university subjects toward a Bachelor of Teaching during their school holiday periods across Years 11 and 12. This remarkable achievement has earned them a conditional early entry offer into a teaching degree of their choice at ACU. The program demands dedication, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to collaboration, while also providing valuable insight into university life and the expectations of tertiary study. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and look forward to supporting these students as they take their next steps toward joining the inspiring and rewarding teaching profession.
