💙 Vinnie's Winter Appeal 💙 We are called to be people of Christ with courageous hearts and minds for all to flourish. As a community inspired by the Gospel and the example of St John Paul II, we are invited to put our faith into action by caring for those who are most vulnerable. We encourage all students and families to support our Vinnies Winter Appeal on 18 June 2026 by donating the items allocated to their year group. On this day, students are invited to wear a hoodie or oodie as a sign of solidarity with those who face the challenges of winter without adequate warmth and support. Thank you for your continued generosity and for helping us uphold the strong tradition of service and compassion that our school community has shown through its ongoing support of St Vincent de Paul. Together, we can bring warmth, dignity, hope and care to those in need this winter.

Big thanks to Western Sydney University for hosting the Unlocking Careers in Sport and Health day! 🩺⚽ One of our students attended and had an amazing time exploring different career paths: "I went to try out three different workshops and found the whole day so interesting! My absolute favorite was Occupational Therapy. It gave me a really clear look at what OTs do and how to become one. " #SchoolSuccess #WesternSydneyU #CareerPathways #WorkExperience

🎓 ACU Step Up Graduation Ceremony 🎓 Last week, we celebrated Year 12 student Misri, who graduated from the University Step Up Program at Australian Catholic University (ACU) . Over two weeks during the school holidays, Misri attended the ACU campus and completed two units of a university degree, all while managing the demands of her senior studies. In doing so, she has achieved something truly special: graduating from university before graduating from high school. Misri studied criminology, and on the strength of her performance, she has been offered direct entry into similar degrees at ACU next year. We are incredibly proud of Misri’s dedication, determination, and commitment to seeing this through. We can’t wait to see what comes next.
