Child Studies 

Last term the Year 9 Child Studies class has been very fortunate to visit some of our local child care centres as part of the exploration of the unit Newborn Care. The class visited Little Bear Child Care Cottage and boarded the bus to visit TGs Armidale! The girls thoroughly enjoyed their interaction with both the children and educators from each of the centres.  

Pictured below are the Year 9 2023 Child Studies class and some of our students reading stories to infants. 

Well done to all students on how they conducted themselves on each of these excursions!

Olympics Unleashed

Last term, Jo Brigden-Jones (Australian Olympic Athlete - Kayak) connected with O'Connor Catholic College Year 9 students as part of the Olympics Unleashed program.

Olympics Unleashed connects athletes with schools across the country to inspire students to find and follow their passion and provide lessons in goal setting, overcoming challenges and developing resilience.

Jo Brigden-Jones talked about her Olympic journey and overcoming challenges to compete in her chosen sport at the highest level to help inspire the students at O'Connor Catholic College to be the best they can be – whether that’s in school, at home, on the sporting field or with friends.
