Recently, Gilroy Catholic College students completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Qualifying Adventurous Journey. Over four days they kayaked and hiked through the Myall Lakes National Park. During the journey , the students had the opportunity to develop skills to help them grow as individuals, and as a team. Carrying all of their gear and supplies for the trip, the students had to be extremely savvy in packing their kayaks to ensure everything would fit. Well done to these students for their commitment!

An Unforgettable Day at Warragamba Dam! Our Year 9 and 10 students had the incredible opportunity to visit Warragamba Dam and learn firsthand about the vital work WaterNSW does in managing our state’s water catchments. Through interactive, hands-on activities, students stepped into the roles of data scientists and maintenance officers, exploring how temperature, turbidity, and pH levels all play a crucial part in ensuring the quality of our water supply. They also discovered the wide range of career pathways within WaterNSW, from unskilled and entry-level positions to specialist and graduate roles. The highlight of the day? A behind-the-scenes tour of the dam - an exclusive experience not open to the public - where students gained insight into the people, skills, and knowledge that keep this essential infrastructure running. It was an inspiring and eye-opening day that showcased just how many exciting opportunities exist in the water and environmental sectors! Thank you to the team at WaterNSW for allowing us to come visit! #STEMEducation #FutureCareers #WaterNSW #EnvironmentalScience #HandsOnLearning #CareerPathways #RealWorldSTEM

2026 Gilroy Catholic College Student Leadership Retreat Last week, the 2026 Gilroy Catholic College student leaders attended their Leadership Retreat at the Mt Carmel Retreat Centre. This retreat provided a valuable opportunity for students to grow, reflect, and prepare for the year ahead in their leadership journey. Throughout the program, students engaged in activities designed to enhance their leadership skills, strengthen teamwork, and explore practical strategies for effective and compassionate leadership. The experience encouraged deep reflection on the responsibilities of leadership and the positive influence that comes with their role within our College community. We commend our student leaders for their commitment, enthusiasm, and willingness to serve others. We look forward to the many ways they will contribute to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and faith-filled environment at Gilroy Catholic College in the year ahead. #GilroyFramework #LeadershipInAction #StudentLeaders #LeadershipRetreat

Gilroy Catholic College Students Give Back at Foodbank Last week, a group of Year 10 students from Gilroy Catholic College took part in a volunteer mission day at Foodbank, as part of the Mary MacKillop Service Awards Program. Together, our students helped create 780 Christmas Hampers, providing over 18,000 meals to families in need this Christmas season. The experience was both humbling and rewarding, as the students reflected: “Across the day we made 780 hampers and gave 18,000 meals to families, helping them struggle a little bit less this Christmas time. This experience was incredibly rewarding as we could see just how much our effort was doing to help those less fortunate.” Following the visit, Foodbank shared their appreciation in a heartfelt message: “Thanks to your hard work, you helped pack 780 Christmas Hampers, moving an amazing 10,140kg of food—enough to create approximately 18,252 meals for individuals and families doing it tough across our communities. Every box you packed, every item you sorted, and every kilo you lifted plays a part in putting food on the table for someone in need. Whether it’s a parent trying to make ends meet, a senior living alone or a child going to school with a full lunchbox—YOU are making that possible!” Congratulations to our amazing students on their dedication, teamwork, and generosity in supporting those less fortunate. You have truly embodied the spirit of Mary MacKillop’s call to “never see a need without doing something about it.”

HSC Business Studies 2025: Exam writers struggle for 'fresh' questions in 15-year-old syllabus

As students completed the 2025 Business Studies HSC exam, many left wondering: is the current curriculum still up to scratch? This year’s Business Studies exam, still based on the 2010 syllabus, posed a unique challenge for students, with exam writers seemingly running short on fresh material and beginning to draw on smaller, less-emphasised sections of the curriculum.

HAPPY WORLD TEACHER’S DAY! Let’s celebrate our amazing teachers who inspire, support, and empower our students every single day! Let’s also take a moment to acknowledge the school community as a whole! People who work in schools are at the forefront of the educational journey for each child. A student’s success depends on the collective efforts of the entire school community. Every member of staff—leadership, our wonderfully dedicated teachers, administrative personnel, counsellors, student services staff, and special education professionals—plays a vital role in shaping the learning environment and supporting each student’s well-being and development. Together, we foster a holistic and nurturing educational experience. At Gilroy, we strive to make every interaction—whether in the classroom, the office, or on the playground—marked by kindness, dedication, and genuine care. From a student’s first day to their final farewell, it is the combined efforts of every staff member that create the supportive, faith-filled community that defines Gilroy Catholic College.

NextGen at IMARC 2025 What an incredible experience! Our Year 9 students truly shone at this year’s event, impressing senior industry leaders with their curiosity, confidence, and insightful questions about careers and pathways in the mining, minerals, and resources sector. They explored cutting-edge technology, engaged in hands-on activities, and even teamed up with Australian Droid and Robot (ADR)’s senior engineer to prototype an innovative “snake catcher” - a creative highlight of the day! We were amazed by the technology shaping Australia’s mining industry and the vast range of careers it offers - there really is something for everyone in this dynamic field. We couldn’t be prouder of our students for making such a memorable impression! #STEMCareers #FutureInResources #MiningInnovation #STEMEducation #CareerPathways #StudentExcellence
