Our Year 9 Police Defender Leadership Program students had an inspiring day at the Parramatta Eels Centre of Excellence, where they presented their Culture Change Projects. Students were given a guided tour of the facilities and learned about the many roles and opportunities within the Parramatta Eels organisation. They also met with George and Aunty Chris, who shared valuable insights into player wellbeing and the importance of having two “Plan A’s.” A Q&A session followed, giving students the chance to further explore ideas about leadership, resilience, and personal growth. It was an engaging and enlightening experience for all involved. After lunch, our students presented their project proposals to members of Hills Council and listened to the thoughtful presentations from the students of Pennant Hills High School. Our Gilroy students represented the school with pride and were outstanding ambassadors. Their projects were sophisticated, deeply considered, and showcased a genuine commitment to building a connected school community grounded in Gilroy spirit. What truly set them apart was their passion not only to initiate meaningful change within the school, but also to make a positive impact on the wider community. We look forward to sharing more as these projects come to life!

Students gave their all—whether diving into competitive events, swimming for participation points, or cheering their teammates from the stands. The energy, encouragement, and teamwork on display truly captured what makes the Gilroy community so special.

Today the College welcomed Delta Therapy Dogs to support students in managing their personal wellbeing. Research shows that the human–animal bond can positively influence social, emotional, physical, and physiological health—improving overall quality of life and wellbeing. Interacting with therapy dogs may help reduce stress and anxiety, elevate mood, encourage social connection, and provide a calming break from daily pressures. Students were thrilled to meet Remy, Remi, Delilah, and Monty—all absolutely adorable and completely professional! It was clear that the visit had a positive impact. These wonderful dogs quickly made their way into the hearts of our students, offering a moment of relief from the rigours of school life. #mydeltadog, #deltatherapydogs, #pawsthepressure

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
