This term, our students have been diving into topics such as innovation, womenโs roles in STEM, branding, and ethical leadership, this event brought those concepts to life in the most inspiring way. Held at the Sydney Startup Hub, the largest innovation ecosystem in NSW, the forum brought together female students from across the state for a day of experiential learning. Rather than simply talking about the future of work for women, this event aimed to show them whatโs possible. Students participated in hands-on workshops in: ๐ Industry Software Development ๐ก Mindset Coaching ๐จ Canva Design ๐ค Artificial Intelligence Tools They also attended a networking lunch with leaders in business, technology, and innovation.

Year 9 students had an enriching Reflection Day last week with the Youth Mission Team, focused on the powerful theme of Dignity. Through engaging skits, testimonies, and small group discussions, students explored what it means to embrace their true selves and recognising the dignity they hold simply by being created in Godโs image. Inspired by St John Paul IIโs message that each person is unique, unrepeatable, and deeply loved. Students were encouraged to rise above labels and reflect on the dignity they hold, and the importance of honouring that in others. #StJohnPaulIICatholicCollege #Mission #Dignity #ReflectionDay #Year9
