Last week we gathered to celebrate a Mass of Remembrance for two much loved children of our college community: Zane Belista and Demi Tsanadis. We also blessed the newly established Holy Family Memorial Garden, a prayerful space that will be an expression of remembrance and peace within our College grounds. We were honoured to be joined by members of the Belista and Tsanadis families and their friends, staff past and present as well as Mr Jack de Groot, Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese and Fr Zakaria Gayed who presided over our liturgy.

A huge shout out to our Boys soccer team who played in the 7-10 Gala Day team on Wednesday. The boys played some fantastic football on the day coming through the pool stage with 4 wins from 4 games. ⚽ In the semi-final, a strong second-half performance saw them defeat St John XXIII 3–1. The final against Patrician Brothers was a great game with plenty of chances for both teams. As the final whistle went, the teams couldn't be separated finishing 2-2. In the end the lottery of penalties decided the game, and unfortunately for our boys luck wasn't on our side today. Great job boys, we are so very proud of your efforts! 👏 #santasophiasports #boyssoccer Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

Spreading Joy Through Music 🎶💛 Lorren (Year 9) and Emma (Year 4) have continued to live out the values of Santa Sophia through their recent acts of service. In April and May, they performed at two residential aged care homes and a special Senior Concert celebrating Mother’s Day and Parent’s Day. After each performance, they spent time connecting with residents — listening to stories, sharing conversation and checking in on their wellbeing. Their dedication, empathy, and leadership shine through every note. We’re so proud of their growing commitment to serve others through music! 🌟 Check out their beautiful performances here: ✨ https://youtu.be/ctdMxLgDWMo?feature=shared&t=411 ✨ https://youtu.be/XKjzqh10n2M?feature=shared&t=339 ✨ https://youtu.be/f8Qvh6uGVIw?feature=shared&t=3
