Staff returned to Gilroy Catholic College yesterday, beginning the new school term with a strong sense of purpose and energy.
We were delighted to welcome Father Richard Leonard, who spoke to us about teaching our students in the image of Jesus, grounded in faith, hope, and love.
Through a blend of poignant and often humorous anecdotes, engaging movie clips, and his wealth of experience, Father Richard challenged and inspired us to reflect more deeply on how we can shape our teaching to truly reflect these values.

Being inclusive and welcoming goes to the heart of what the Gilroy Catholic College community is all about so it's nice to reflect on how much our students enjoyed learning about human dignity, diversity and bias through the Interfaith Dialogue Program.
In Module 2, they took part in a special workshop to better understand the difference and similarities in faith, the influence of bias and stereotypes and identifying the building blocks of harmony.
We look forward to sharing more of our students’ inspiring interfaith journey!

Recently the Open Girls Soccer team competed at the PDSSSC gala day. The girls did not concede a goal in both the regular rounds or semi finals. They have now gained a spot in the grand final to hopefully represent the Parramatta Diocese at NSWCCC.
Well done to Mr Mason for his great coaching skills and congratulations to Taylor, Rachel & Juliana who have also made the selection trials for the Parramatta Diocese team!

Yr 9 ‘Mind, Body Spirit’ Market
Gilroy Catholic College Year 9 students have been learning about mental health, with a focus on understanding how stress can affect people in different occupations.
As part of this engaging learning experience, students investigated the types of stress that may be experienced in a variety of careers. They then designed and presented interactive information stalls, inviting students from other year groups to visit and learn more about occupational stress and workplace wellbeing.
It was wonderful to see our students sharing their knowledge, building empathy, and helping raise awareness of mental health in such a meaningful and creative way.
Well done, Year 9!

In Catholic belief, beginning with Easter Monday, Jesus Christ continues to appear to his disciples after His resurrection on Easter Sunday. Over the next 40 days, He strengthens their faith, teaches them, and prepares them for their mission. At the end of this period, He bodily ascends into heaven known as the "Ascension of Jesus".

On this Holy Thursday, we are drawn into a quiet, powerful moment—one that turns our expectations upside down. Jesus, Teacher and Lord, kneels before his disciples and washes their feet. In this simple yet profound act, he shows us what love truly looks like: not power or recognition, but humility and service.
It is not always easy to follow this example. We may prefer to lead rather than serve, to be noticed rather than to quietly care for others. Yet Jesus invites us into something deeper—to love through action, to serve without hesitation, and to give of ourselves with open hearts.
As Mrs Merryweather reflected in her address, we are challenged to ask: whose feet are we being called to wash today? It may not be in a literal sense, but in the small, everyday acts of kindness, patience, and compassion we offer to others.
May this Holy Thursday stir within us a willingness to serve. May our hands be ready to help, our hearts open to love, and our lives shaped by humility. And in following His example, may we become living signs of that same self-giving love in the world.
Wishing all our families a happy and blessed Easter.
Thank you to students Lachlan, Hugo, Christopher and Mia-Lore for taking photos for us to share with our College community!
