Fourteen committed Year 12 students spent part of their Summer break advancing their futures through partnerships with Australian Catholic University and The University of Notre Dame Australia. Students participated in UniPath at Notre Dame and Step Up at ACU, developing academic skills, completing assessments, and gaining access to potential university entry pathways. We are grateful to both universities for offering these outstanding opportunities to our students.

In very exciting news - five graduates from the Class of 2025 have each been awarded a $20,000 CSPD Teacher Scholarship to support their pathway into teaching. The innovative program offered by Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese provides financial support, a laptop, paid school-based work, mentoring, and priority pathways into future teaching roles. With only 30 scholarships available across CSPD schools for 2026, this recognition is an exceptional achievement for the College’s graduates. Well done Ava, Sylvie, Jasmine, Lilli-Maree and Eva!

Don’t miss our latest 'Minute with a Mentor' series featuring Samantha Dicello (Arnold) - College Captain (Class of 2015) and an inspiring leader in Australian sport. Sam took a turn in the 'hot seat' to share insights from her incredible career ~ an inspiring role model and a story not to be missed. Thank you Sam!
