The Year 11 first aid course was completed on the 20th of August for all PDHPE and SLR students.
This gave students the ability to deepen their knowledge through the practical application of syllabus content. It also gives them the opportunity to gain a first-aid certificate which empowers these students to be first aiders in our community for the next 3 years.

Gilroy Catholic College Students Give Back at Foodbank Last week, a group of Year 10 students from Gilroy Catholic College took part in a volunteer mission day at Foodbank, as part of the Mary MacKillop Service Awards Program. Together, our students helped create 780 Christmas Hampers, providing over 18,000 meals to families in need this Christmas season. The experience was both humbling and rewarding, as the students reflected: “Across the day we made 780 hampers and gave 18,000 meals to families, helping them struggle a little bit less this Christmas time. This experience was incredibly rewarding as we could see just how much our effort was doing to help those less fortunate.” Following the visit, Foodbank shared their appreciation in a heartfelt message: “Thanks to your hard work, you helped pack 780 Christmas Hampers, moving an amazing 10,140kg of food—enough to create approximately 18,252 meals for individuals and families doing it tough across our communities. Every box you packed, every item you sorted, and every kilo you lifted plays a part in putting food on the table for someone in need. Whether it’s a parent trying to make ends meet, a senior living alone or a child going to school with a full lunchbox—YOU are making that possible!” Congratulations to our amazing students on their dedication, teamwork, and generosity in supporting those less fortunate. You have truly embodied the spirit of Mary MacKillop’s call to “never see a need without doing something about it.”

HSC Business Studies 2025: Exam writers struggle for 'fresh' questions in 15-year-old syllabus
As students completed the 2025 Business Studies HSC exam, many left wondering: is the current curriculum still up to scratch? This year’s Business Studies exam, still based on the 2010 syllabus, posed a unique challenge for students, with exam writers seemingly running short on fresh material and beginning to draw on smaller, less-emphasised sections of the curriculum.

HAPPY WORLD TEACHER’S DAY! Let’s celebrate our amazing teachers who inspire, support, and empower our students every single day! Let’s also take a moment to acknowledge the school community as a whole! People who work in schools are at the forefront of the educational journey for each child. A student’s success depends on the collective efforts of the entire school community. Every member of staff—leadership, our wonderfully dedicated teachers, administrative personnel, counsellors, student services staff, and special education professionals—plays a vital role in shaping the learning environment and supporting each student’s well-being and development. Together, we foster a holistic and nurturing educational experience. At Gilroy, we strive to make every interaction—whether in the classroom, the office, or on the playground—marked by kindness, dedication, and genuine care. From a student’s first day to their final farewell, it is the combined efforts of every staff member that create the supportive, faith-filled community that defines Gilroy Catholic College.

NextGen at IMARC 2025 What an incredible experience! Our Year 9 students truly shone at this year’s event, impressing senior industry leaders with their curiosity, confidence, and insightful questions about careers and pathways in the mining, minerals, and resources sector. They explored cutting-edge technology, engaged in hands-on activities, and even teamed up with Australian Droid and Robot (ADR)’s senior engineer to prototype an innovative “snake catcher” - a creative highlight of the day! We were amazed by the technology shaping Australia’s mining industry and the vast range of careers it offers - there really is something for everyone in this dynamic field. We couldn’t be prouder of our students for making such a memorable impression! #STEMCareers #FutureInResources #MiningInnovation #STEMEducation #CareerPathways #StudentExcellence

PDSSSC FUTSAL Last week, four amazing teams competed in the PDSSSC FUTSAL competition. Intermediate Girls (Years 9 & 10) – Champions! The girls fought hard, keeping their cool under pressure and coming from behind to win the grand final in a thrilling penalty shootout. Intermediate Boys (Years 9 & 10) – After an incredible semi-final penalty shootout win, the boys made it to the grand final. Although they narrowly missed out in the decider, they played with great spirit and represented us proudly. Junior Teams (Years 7 & 8) – While they didn’t make it to the finals, both teams showed fantastic teamwork, determination, and resilience in every match. Well done to all our players for their sportsmanship and effort throughout the competition!
