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.

Tuesday the 27th of February, Gilroy Catholic College opened its doors to the wider community, family and friends. The buzzing energy and excitement of future students was evidenced, as the youthful and optimistic students of tomorrow were able to explore the faculties and facilities offered at Gilroy. It was incredibly heartwarming to see familiar faces and past students who came back to reminisce about their time at Gilroy. A huge thanks goes to the passionate students who volunteered their afternoon to usher families and provide insight to life at the College. Additionally, a massive thank you to all of the Gilroy students who contributed to this community event, from incredible music performances, delicious cupcakes from our Hospitality crew, photographers, presenters and student leaders! A special thanks to all of our Gilroy staff for their organisation and prep-work leading up to the highly successful event! #teamgilroy #bettertogether

Yesterday we were given the opportunity to attend the Lifted Leaders Live event, where we learnt more about how we can practically apply our faith within our school community. We left with much knowledge on how to grow the presence of the Holy Spirit within Gilroy Catholic College and received some advice from Bishop Vincent on how we can effectively do this. It was a great day! - Savannah Moubarak, Year 12, School Captain! #bettertogether #teamgilroy

Congratulations to Samuel Waring & Matthew Engesser who competed at the NSW All Schools Triathlon. This year's event was challenging because the swim had to be changed to a run, due to water quality at Penrith International Regatta Centre, making it a Duathlon. Matthew came 1st in the Paratriathlon & 12th overall in the Senior Male event. Samuel came 3rd in the Senior Male event and qualified for the Nationals. #bettertogether #teamgilroy

Today the Year 11 and Year 12 students celebrated Wellbeing Week by getting active during their break times playing volleyball, having a turn at soccer juggling, giving their best guess at the lolly guessing competition and some students engaged with sensory play with bubble wrap all while grooving along to some cheerful music. This was a fantastic way for students to enjoy break time friends, relaxing and getting active! Happy Wellbeing Week to our hardworking senior students!😁 #teamgilroy #bettergilroy
