Identifying that one of our students, Koby, had an interest in graphic design, our teachers arranged a one-on-one meeting with industry professional, Glenn Whitehead.
Glen Whitehead is Creative Director at George P. Johnson Experience Marketing, whose clients include Mazda, IBM, Gatorade, Jeep and other prestigious brands. Koby was able to ask questions and receive feedback on his digital portfolio.
Our College is a Pre-to-Post School, which aims to prepare students for the workplace of the future with a student-centred approach. We build strong partnerships with industry professionals to give greater opportunities for our students to discover their vocation and succeed.
This is just one example of how Santa Sophia is customising personal pathways for students. Throughout the term, Mrs Stephanie Campanale, Partnerships and Pathways Coach, will be planning more "one to one" opportunities for students to 'get real' with industry professionals.

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
