Year 11 English Studies joined with kindergarten students from Bethany Primary School to celebrate National Simultaneous Storytime. The English Studies students designed a range of activities appropriate for a young audience based on The Truck Cat by Deborah Frenkel. This morning kindergarten sat enthralled as our students read the book and engaged in lively discussions concerning the ideas and values expressed in the text. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all. @Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

Year 10 took a deep dive into careers and pathways at the Greater Western Sydney Careers Market at Cambridge Park this week. This was a valuable and timely chance for students to start thinking about their post-school pathways, especially as they prepare to make subject selections for Years 11 and 12. With hundreds of post-school options on display — from employment and traineeships to apprenticeships, university, TAFE, private colleges and more — students had a fantastic opportunity to ask questions, gather resources, and get inspired about their futures. The event brought together a wide range of experts including universities, training organisations, apprenticeship centres, professional associations and employers — all under the one roof. Thank you to Brett Carter Events for organising such a powerful and informative showcase. Our students walked away motivated, informed and excited about what’s next!
