In Exercise and Sports Science, our teachers organised an opportunity students to discover that they it is possible to work in professional sports without being a professional athlete.
Meeting via Zoom, the class met and heard from Bernadette Chehine, General Manager of People & Performance at Cricket NSW who opened them up to the world of possibilities of a career in professional sport, from Human Resources to Accounting to Physiotherapy to Marketing.
This is just one example of how our College is providing students with a variety of flexible and personalised pathways into a potential career.
We’d love a chance to show you how learning works for young people at Santa Sophia Catholic College. Read through our website or book a tour!

National Road Safety Week at Santa Sophia🚸 Santa Sophia acknowledged National Road Safety Week with a fun, college-wide Walk Safely to School event, focusing on the importance of pedestrian safety. It was a fantastic opportunity to promote safe habits, healthy routines, and stronger community connections among our students and families. We were also privileged to welcome officers from the NSW Police Force – Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, who visited our school to share important road safety messages, present their vehicles, and engage our students in an informative session. A big thank you to our police officers for their time, expertise, and commitment to educating our students on staying safe on our roads. 👏🚓 #NationalWalkSafelytoSchoolDay #RoadSafety

What an incredible Year 6 Spirituality Day! 🌟 Centered around the theme of Love, our students threw themselves into a beautiful mix of faith, creativity, and high-energy fun. They beautifully balanced deep reverence during Eucharistic Adoration with meaningful small-group discussions, displayed their artistic flair by creating vibrant rose windows, and brought massive energy to a competitive Amazing Race! 🏃♂️🎨🙏 We are incredibly proud of how our Year 6 students stepped up as servant leaders, running lunchtime activities for our K-4 students. Thank you, Year 6, for being such wonderful examples of faith and service! ❤️ "LOVE is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) #FaithInAction #StudentLeaders #SpiritualityDay Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
