On Thursday 6th March and Friday 7th March, 18 students from Caroline Chisholm College competed in the All Schools Triathlon individual and teams’ event at the International Regatta Centre, Penrith.
Over the days there were over 2000 students participating from across the state, with many schools showing their strength in the sheer numbers of teams they entered. All the Caroline Chisholm students who participated were exceptionally well behaved and represented the school with pride.
They were competitive and diligent in their individual races and performed to the very best of their abilities over the two days.
The school entered one individual competitor and ten teams.
Our individual representative was Danielle Snyder of Year 8. The six teams entered were spread across the junior, intermediate and senior sections. On average competitors had to swim 400 metres, ride 10 kms and run 4 kms.
Our results were as follows:
- Junior teams – 39th and 42nd in the Catholic Schools category
- Intermediate team – 20th in the Catholic Schools category
- Senior teams – 7th, 13th and 19th in the Catholic Schools category
- Danielle Snyder – 29th in the Catholic Schools category
The complete Caroline Chisholm triathlon team was as follows:
Isabella Ryan, Ciara Morgan, Madeleine Rushton, Lucy Harris, Madeline Haydon, Casey O’Sullivan, Sabrina Holloway, Lily Danby, Kaitlin Patterson, Georgia Wood, Danielle Snyder, Abbey Tricot, Sam Arnold, Jennifer McDonald, Lauren Dahl, Jaime-Lee Wemmerslager, Riley O’Connor and Sydney Harris.
Thank you to the parents and supporters who attended on the day. I look forward to future successes next year in the 2015 triathlon.

There are so many contributing factors to HSC success and one of those has been our innovative HSC Peer Tutor Program, which is featured in the latest edition of the Western Weekender! In the article, we hear from two mentors, Louise Armstrong (College Captain, Class of 2022) and Evelyn Shanley (Class of 2023), current Year 12 students Shabeena, Grace, Olivia and Shayma, as well as College Principal, Tania Cairns. The Peer Tutor program sees high-performing HSC graduates from the Classes of 2022 and 2023 return to our College each week to mentor, guide and support current students across more than 20 HSC subjects. Their dedication and expertise not only boosts academic confidence but also strengthens the bond between the past and present students in our community.

It was a fascinating look behind the scenes of film and TV production when Ms Devlin's Year 10 class took part in a film shoot to promote the UNSW School of Economics’ 2026 STEP UP Playconomics Competition. Our College will be offering this opportunity to students in Years 10–12 later this year when the competition opens - especially those studying Commerce and Business Studies - so it was a great preview of what’s to come! One of College Alumnae, Sophie McLaughlin (Year 12, 2025) was the 2024 national winner - finishing in the top 0.5% of students across Australia. A huge thank-you to Mike and Nash from StoryStack for helping bring this together on behalf of the UNSW STEP UP Team and the UNSW Business School – School of Economics (Loretti Isabella Dobrescu and Alberto Motta). What an exciting learning experience for our students!

Today our Year 12 Hospitality students travelled into the Sydney CBD to complete the practical component of their Barista course. This course is designed to put theory into practice, requiring students to confidently: ✔️ Greet customers professionally ✔️ Take accurate orders ✔️ Ask clarifying questions ✔️ Suggest suitable choices based on customer preferences ✔️ Prepare and serve quality espresso coffee Each student had access to their own commercial coffee machine and grinder, giving them authentic, hands-on industry experience. It was fantastic to see them working independently, applying their knowledge, and refining their milk texturing, extraction and presentation skills. Experiences like this strengthen their confidence, build real-world service skills, and prepare them for employment pathways within the hospitality industry. We are incredibly proud of the professionalism and focus they demonstrated today! 👏☕️

Year 11 Ancient History participated in an activity where they explored the types of jewellery worn by people of different cultures in the Ancient period. This activity is designed to strengthen students’ understanding of how archaeologists and historians use material culture to reconstruct the past and interpret ancient societies. The students enjoyed the experience and recognised the challenge for ancient craftspeople in having to create these items for use in their time.
