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.

This morning, we had the pleasure of celebrating our Gilroy mothers and mother figures at our Mothers’ Day breakfast. It was heartwarming to see so many attend, and the sense of community and connection was felt. When welcoming those in attendance, Mrs Rodriguez quoted Dr Seuss "To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world." This reminded us of the deep and lasting impact a mother has on her child—and the powerful love that flows in both directions. In her address, Ms Merryweather invited the community to reflect on the special bond we share with our mothers—those whose arms we long for in times of sadness or worry, and the first person we want to share our joys with. Whether they are with us in person or in spirit, they continue to grace our lives with their love. We hope everyone who joined us enjoyed connecting with fellow members of the Gilroy community and the delicious food shared together. Thank you to all of those, through their dedication and hard work, made this event a fabulous morning for all our mothers, staff and students

What an incredible day at the Western Sydney Secondary School Regional Tournament! 🏆 Gilroy Catholic College was proudly represented by four teams who gave it their all. The junior boys played with heart and showed fantastic sportsmanship, narrowly missing out on the finals. The intermediate boys went undefeated in their group stage and put in their best performance in the semi-final, falling just short against one of the top schools in the state. Both our junior and intermediate girls' teams made it to their grand finals. The inter girls fought hard in a close 3–2 loss, while the junior girls dominated with a brilliant 4–0 win! 💪 We’re thrilled to announce that both girls' teams have now qualified for the next stage of the tournament, where they’ll face off against the best schools from across NSW! Congratulations to all teams for their efforts!

Year 10 student Stella Powell recently took to the stage as part of the highly reviewed Sydney Youth Musical Theatre Production of "Billy Elliot The Musical" at the Glen Street Theatre. In the musical production, Stella portrays one of the lead characters "Keeley Gibson," with such nuance, conviction, humour and grace. Stella was cast as "Gomez Addams" in Gilroy's "The Addams Family" Musical last year, and we look forward to seeing Stella's name in lights in many more musical productions to come!

Yesterday, Gilroy Catholic College Year 7 students attended a presentation by Daniel Merza. The overall theme of the presentation was how to "get the monkeys off your back" to overcome adversity, find purpose, and become the best version of themselves. Daniel's fun and interactive presentation provided practical ways to reduce unkindness and bullying behaviors, strategies for building resilience and what bystanders can do to stop bullying. We thank Daniel for his engaging presentation! #danielmerza #beatbullying
