On the 7th of March, as part of our continued holistic approach to pastoral care and development, Year 8 students took part in workshops that aimed to challenge gender stereotypes and encourage students to embrace the change that they want to see in the world.
Our Year 8 girls spent the day in the "Butterfly Workshop" which focused on helping to raise amazing and mature girls, while our boys participated in the "Goodfella's Workshop" which focused on conversations with young men, challenging gender stereotypes and being a respectful part of society.
These annual workshops are a key component of our pastoral care program, developing young people into responsible men and women who can lead and embrace the change they want to see in the world.
The students who participated on the day found the workshops to be insightful, inspiring and entertaining.
The college would like to thank Chloe, Martin and Ben for their excellent workshops. We look forward to seeing them again in the future.

Students worked incredibly hard throughout Term 1 to earn house points, and we’re pleased to announce that Tchingal Red House came out on top with an impressive 1841 points! Points were earned through merits, avoiding detentions, participation in community events led by student leaders, and representing the school in sports and carnivals. To celebrate their achievement, Tchingal students in Years 7–10 enjoyed delicious donuts during their pastoral lesson last week, while our student leaders made their way around at recess delivering donuts to Years 11 and 12. Congratulations, Tchingal! Keep up the amazing effort and school spirit!

For more than 40 years, Gilroy Catholic College has proudly partnered with the St Vincent de Paul Society to support those in need. Over the past five years, this commitment has deepened through our involvement in the Vinnies Van program. The Vinnies Van is a vital outreach service across Western Sydney, operating seven nights a week (excluding New Year’s Eve). It provides food, care, and meaningful connection to people experiencing homelessness. Each Thursday at recess, students in the Mary MacKillop Service Awards Program prepare fresh sandwiches, which are delivered to Vinnies for distribution that evening. Our school community also contributes snack packs, with each Homeroom supporting the initiative once a year to help maintain a steady supply. Snack packs are collected every Thursday morning by student leaders and delivered alongside the sandwiches. In addition, once a month, students and staff volunteer on a Tuesday evening, serving food, hot drinks, and offering a friendly conversation from the Vinnies Van. We are grateful for the opportunity to support the most vulnerable members of our community. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for your ongoing generosity and commitment.
