It was a chilly Friday, but our students kept warm in style for Hoodies for Hope! ❄️ It was fantastic to see students across all grades rocking their hoodies in support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal. Thanks to the generosity of our Santa Sophia community, we’ve raised close to $10,000 to help fight homelessness and poverty in our community. Every hoodie worn truly made a difference! 💙 It's not too late to donate.

Toota (Law & Global Studies) and Kathy (Physiotherapy) shared their personal journeys and gave valuable insights into uni life at ACU. Students learnt about the ACU Guarantee program, how to gain up to 12 adjustment factors, and even discovered the exciting opportunity to study at ACU’s Rome campus! To wrap up, students completed notifications to receive tailored updates about their courses of interest.

Hands-On in Construction! 👷‍♂️ On Thursday 5 June, 11 students from Years 9–11 had the incredible opportunity to take part in a one-day practical introduction to the construction industry, thanks to the Regional Industry Education Partnership (RIEP) and the Lawrence Davis Training Centre. Led by Keith and Kevin, students explored key roles and responsibilities in construction and got hands-on experience with industry tools and techniques. They learned how to correctly wear a harness, tie ropes into backpacks, and use a laser level to construct a road. Each student also mastered the prusik hitch — a vital knot for working at heights that locks securely under tension. A big thank you to Keith and Kevin for an engaging and informative day, equipping our students with real-world skills and insights into careers in construction! #ConstructionSkills #VocationalEducation Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
