Our Year 11 Hospitality 2 students are preparing tasty Marinated Chicken Club Sandwiches as part of their Module 2: Hygiene and Food Safety unit. 🥪✨ To maintain strict food safety standards, students complete and submit: ✅ Coolroom/Refrigerator Check Sheet ✅ Recipe Check Sheet (covering preparation, cooking, assembly, and service) Both check sheets align with the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system. Students monitor the coolroom and recipe steps to recognise, monitor, and report potential hazards, ensuring safe food handling from start to finish. Great job, Year 11, on putting theory into practice and prioritising food safety! 👏 Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

A unique Lunch and Learn session gave our students a captivating look into the world of protecting our community, with the NSW Police Force. We were thrilled to welcome Senior Constable Steven Stopford and Constable Isabella Bird — especially exciting as Isabella is one of our very own Alumnae, now serving the community! Our guests took students on a journey through the many career pathways in the police force — from General Duties and Detectives to Forensics, Highway Patrol, PolAir and more — showcasing just a few of the 200+ roles available. They also broke down the process of joining the force, covering the online and practical training, fitness and skill requirements, application steps, salary and benefits, and the real-life challenges and rewards of the job. A big thank you to Steven and Isabella for inspiring the next generation to consider a career that truly makes a difference. #NSWPolice #LunchAndLearn #CareerPathways #MakeADifference #StudentOpportunities #FutureReady #youthcommand #youthcommandnswpf @Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

As we near the final turn in our 'cosmic careers journey' (!) we made a fascinating stop at the University of New South Wales for an engaging conversation with Myles and Malini from the Future Students team. With campuses in Kensington, Canberra and the artistic hub of Paddington, UNSW offers an incredible range of courses—from design and architecture to engineering, business and beyond. Students explored the wide variety of degrees and double degrees, learned about UNSW’s strong graduate employability, and discovered key info on scholarships, HSC Plus and other adjustment factors, portfolio entry and the UNSW Gateway Program. Myles and Malini also gave us a glimpse into vibrant campus life beyond the books —featuring UNSW's countless clubs, societies, volunteering opportunities, sports and student support services. A huge thanks to Myles and Malini for showing us the exciting world of UNSW! Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

When we think about jobs, we often define people by what they do, not who they are. But most of us only know a small slice of the job world—and surprisingly, around half of all teens aim for just 1% of all careers. Why? Simply because they don’t know what else is out there. That’s why our students in Years 7–9 have been exploring the CADI Career Clusters Quiz during their wellbeing lessons this week, with thanks to our amazing partners Study Work Grow. Career Clusters offer a fresh way to think about work—by grouping jobs based on shared skills, strengths and interests, not just job titles or industries. It was fantastic to see our students begin to articulate their strengths and see new possibilities for their futures. Based on the Career Cluster results from our school over the last 12 months - not surprisingly, for such a caring community always willing to help others - our strongest Cluster by far is Guardian! This work also helps pave the way for more meaningful conversations with our Pathways Coaches. Years 10–12 will complete the quiz next term—we can’t wait to see where it leads!
