Last Wednesday, 17 September, Year 10 Agriculture students visited Tobruk Sheep Station to gain more knowledge on the wool and meat sheep industry that they had been learning about throughout Term 3. The students had the opportunity to take part in a great range of activities at the Station including sheep shearing, making damper, heating up the billy, cracking whips, rounding up the sheep, arm wrestles and throwing boomerangs. One of our students was also dressed up like a sheep shearer while shearing a sheep.
Excursions such as Year 10’s visit to Tobruk Sheep Station give students a hands on learning experience, providing great resources that relate to their current theory and on-campus work. In this case, the excursion has provided greater knowledge around the wool growth of the new Terra Sancta College lamb, Bambi!

A group of debaters attended the University of Sydney as part of its Women and Gender Minority Debate Day. It was a fast-paced event, moving from one debate to the next, and facing a new school each time. We were able to explore complex topics that deepened our appreciation of various political movements and how we engage with media. It was great to debate other schools and learn a new style of debating. We hope to take these new skills and ideas into next year's season! ~ Siobhan M (Year 10 Debater)

β¨ Last Thursday as a College, we farewelled the Year 12 Class of 2025 β¨ Six years ago, this group began their high school journey at St John Paul II Catholic College, and we stand proud of the remarkable young people they have become. As a community, it was an opportunity to reflect on the young adults they have become, reminiscing on the memories made as βyou passed through this landβ, the shared experiences that have helped shape who they are, a person who understands what it means to be a person of justice, dignity, mercy and service. As part of this farewell, each student was presented with a special memento: a handcrafted wooden Cross, a College keyring and a prayer card designed by students of St Joseph's Primary School Schofields. These gifts are reminders of their faith, their connection to our community, and the love that will guide them into the future. π Class of 2025, may you embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead with courage and love. Be proud, be strong, and always remember the words of St John Paul II: βBe demanding of the world around you, be demanding first of all with yourselves. Be children of God, and take pride in it!β Let love be the foundation of everything you do, so that you may build a life of purpose, fulfilment and true success. #StJPIICC #Year12Farewell #ClassOf2025 #FaithJusticeMercyService
