Year 9 ‘Catch the Wave’ Retreat
Our Year 9 Youth Ministry students took part in the annual Catch the Wave retreat, a day designed to inspire and support them in their faith journey. Facilitated by the Catholic Education Youth Ministry Team, the retreat featured a range of engaging activities including games, small-group discussions, and input from Youth Ministry Officers. It was a fun and meaningful experience that encouraged students to explore and grow in their relationship with God.

SHINE Conference – Year 10
Year 10 Youth Ministry students attended the SHINE Conference, a dynamic event created to help deepen students’ personal relationship with Jesus and energise their faith. The day included keynote speakers, dramatic presentations, testimonies, music, and a variety of interactive workshops. SHINE also provided an invaluable opportunity for students from across the Archdiocese to come together, share experiences, and build lasting connections beyond their own school community.

Year 11 Excursion – Sydney Jewish Museum
As part of their Religious Studies curriculum, Year 11 students visited the Sydney Jewish Museum for a guided Holocaust education tour. Through powerful stories, artefacts, and exhibits, students explored themes of good, evil, and human suffering, enriching their understanding of the current unit, Exploring Meaning. The excursion was both moving and thought-provoking, providing real-world context to classroom discussions.

Faith Opportunities for Students
Students are warmly invited to take part in ongoing faith-based activities at the College:

• Bible and Biscuits: Held every Day 6 at lunchtime in PF9 — a relaxed space to explore scripture while enjoying some snacks.
