We’re proud to announce that five Caroline Chisholm College graduates from the Class of 2025 have each received a $20,000 CSPD Teacher Scholarship to support their journey into teaching! These young women will begin their education degrees in 2026, supported by an innovative CSPD program that provides: • $5,000 per year for four years • A new laptop • Paid work in CSPD schools • Mentoring and professional development • Priority pathways to teaching roles With only 30 scholarships awarded across CSPD schools for 2026, this is an outstanding achievement for the College! One of the scholarship recipients, Ava Stephan, said CSPD’s strong sense of “community, faith and service” inspired her to pursue teaching, along with the encouragement of her own teachers who “showed that education can impact lives beyond the classroom.” Our College Principal, Mrs Cairns is very proud of the students’ dedication and vocation for service, attributing their success to their hard work and the support of families and staff. “To see our students recognised through a highly competitive CSPD scholarship program is deeply affirming. We look forward to watching them grow as future educators and, in time, welcome them back into Catholic school communities where they can inspire the next generation,” she said. Join us in celebrating these inspiring future educators!

14 of our dedicated Year 12 students spent part of their Summer break investing in their futures through exciting partnerships with Australian Catholic University and The University of Notre Dame Australia. Three students attended Notre Dame’s UniPath program, completing Research and Academic Writing in December and Mathematics in January. UniPath provides a direct entry pathway into university study while helping students build valuable academic skills. Meanwhile, ACU once again welcomed students into their Step Up programs across Criminology, Nursing & Midwifery, Exercise & Sports Science, and the SUIT program at Strathfield. Along with on-campus learning, students completed final assessment tasks, and - upon successful completion of both units - they will receive a conditional offer into aligned ACU degrees. A huge thank you to ACU and the University of Notre Dame for providing these incredible opportunities for our Year 12 students!
