The University of Sydney recognises the achievements of outstanding students through their Year 10 Academic Excellence Awards.
The awards are open to Year 10 students who must be nominated by their school during September 2017. Based on Year 10 Academic results achieved by students through assessment and reporting up to the end of Term 3, the college selected a single student to be nominated for the award.
Gilroy College recognised the outstanding Academic achievements of Jonathan Lu and nominated him for this award, this nomination was then accepted by the University of Sydney who sent the college an award to present to Jonathan at our Year Award Ceremony for Stage 5.
Jonathan was also invited to attend Sydney University’s award ceremony for academic prize winners in early April this year where he was recognised for his achievements and received an award winner badge and gift voucher.
This is outstanding accolade and a huge achievement for this young man.

Members of the Gilroy Catholic College Choir, together with students from St Bernadette’s Primary School, recently visited BUPA Dural Aged Care and MacKillop House Catholic Healthcare Norwest to spread some Christmas cheer. The students delighted residents by singing Christmas carols, bringing joy and festive spirit to all. This visit has become a much-loved annual tradition for our Choir ensemble and is an event they eagerly look forward to each year. It is wonderful to see our students sharing their talents and living out their Catholic ministry within the wider community. #cspd #Bupa
