Recently, Years 7–9 attended a powerful performance by Brainstorm Productions on resilience, wellbeing, and navigating life’s challenges. The Hurting Game follows Maddie and Tom as they face peer pressure, online struggles, and identity challenges. Through conflict and reflection, they discover the importance of self-compassion and genuine connections. Based on real student experiences and developed with a clinical psychologist, the performance sparked meaningful conversations about mental health and online life. #gilroyvalues #wellbeingmatters #BrainstormProductions

Gilroy Catholic College is proud to have been selected as a pilot school for the brand-new SES CONNECT program (Community Outreach, Networking & Neighbourhood Emergency Capability Talks). As part of this exciting initiative, SES volunteers will visit the College at lunchtime on Monday, 18th May with operational response vehicles, giving students the opportunity to explore emergency response equipment up close and learn more about the important role the SES plays in supporting our community. Students will be able to chat with local volunteers, discover how the SES responds during emergencies, and gain valuable insight into disaster preparedness and community service. We are so excited to be partnering with the SES on this fantastic community engagement opportunity.

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

This morning, we had the pleasure of celebrating our Gilroy mothers and mother figures at our Mother’s Day Breakfast. It was wonderful to see so many families attend, with a strong sense of community and connection shared throughout the morning. In her address, Ms Merryweather reflected on how our mums nurture us and prepare us to face the world from the moment we are born and beyond, and how they are so often the ones we turn to when we need comfort, guidance and protection. She spoke lovingly about her relationship with her mother and that even now, her mum would move heaven and earth to protect her if she needed it. Whether our mothers are with us in person or in spirit, their love continues to shape and enrich our lives. We hope everyone who joined us enjoyed connecting with fellow members of the Gilroy community and sharing the delicious breakfast together. Thank you to all those whose dedication and hard work helped make this event such a memorable and special morning for our mothers, staff and students. Wishing all our mums and mother figures and wonderfully blessed and happy Mothers’ Day.
