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.

Last week, Gilroy Catholic College senior boys and girls OzTag teams competed in the Sutherland Shire OzTag regional competition. The girls played in a very competitive pool, including the top team. They gave it all they had, unfortunately missing out on finals, but were proud representatives of the College. The boys team finished the day undefeated, scoring the winning try on the buzzer in the grand final. They were crowned the Sutherland Shire Champions for 2025, earning themselves a ticket to the NSW Champions of Champions tournament on the central coast in August. Congratulations to both teams who were the embodiment of our College values.

Gilroy Day – Friday 13 June | Part 2: St Patrick’s Cathedral and Parramatta Park As shared in our earlier Gilroy Day post, the entire College community gathered for Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta—the spiritual heart of our Diocese. It was a privilege to celebrate the Eucharist in such a beautiful and significant setting. Our students demonstrated admirable reverence and participated with genuine enthusiasm, reflecting the values of our College. Following Mass, students and staff gathered across the road in Parramatta Park to share morning tea. Although the weather was crisp, the sun shone brightly, and the joy of the day warmed everyone’s spirits. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect as a community and reflect on the significance of the day in a more relaxed setting.

Celebrating 45 Years of Gilroy – Gilroy Day 2025 Forty-five years ago, Gilroy College opened its doors in response to a growing need identified by local parents: a Catholic secondary school to serve the Hills area. In 2008, the College was renamed Gilroy Catholic College, honouring its deepening identity and mission. The College proudly bears the name of Cardinal Sir Norman Gilroy, the first Australian-born cardinal and a trailblazer in Catholic education. His motto, "Christ is My Light," continues to guide our community, placing Jesus Christ at the heart of College life. Last Friday, we marked this significant milestone with Gilroy Day with a whole-school pilgrimage to St Patrick’s Cathedral in Parramatta, the spiritual centre of our diocese. The Mass, celebrated by the Very Rev Peter Williams and clergy from St Bernadette’s Parish, was a beautiful expression of our shared faith and unity. Transporting around 1,000 students and staff to the Cathedral was no small task, yet it was accomplished seamlessly thanks to the outstanding behaviour of our students and the tireless work of our dedicated staff. Our students participated in the Mass with reverence and respect, after which they enjoyed a morning tea in Parramatta Park. Upon returning to the College, they were welcomed by Mr Whippy vans for a special lunchtime treat, before enjoying an afternoon of celebration with Gilroy’s Got Talent. We are incredibly proud of our students, who truly embodied the College values throughout the day, and deeply grateful to the many staff who made this event such a success. Here are a few photos from the morning—we hope you enjoy them. Be sure to check back soon for more photos and the results of Gilroy’s Got Talent!

In the third module of the Interfaith Dialogue Program, students from Gilroy Catholic College and the Australian Islamic College took part in meaningful visits to both Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in Kellyville and the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque. Facilitated by Catholic Mission, the Interfaith Dialogue Program promotes cooperative interactions among people of different religions, faiths, and spiritual beliefs. The program is designed to foster mutual understanding, respect, and collaboration, with the broader goal of encouraging peace and tolerance in our diverse society. These visits provided students with the opportunity to experience the sacred spaces, practices, and perspectives of both Catholic and Islamic traditions. Through open dialogue and shared experiences, students gained deeper insights into each other’s beliefs and values—laying the foundation for lasting interfaith friendships and a more harmonious future.
