Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese mourns the loss of former Executive Director of Schools Greg Whitby AM KSG. Diocese of Parramatta Bishop Vincent Long has shared a moving tribute to Greg here: https://catholicoutlook.org/vale-to-greg-whitby-am-former-executive-director-of-catholic-education/ Greg led our organisation, then known as Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta, from 2006 to 2022. He will be remembered fondly, including for his dedication to making a difference to the lives of children and young people across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains through education. Not only was Greg our leader, he was also one of our own: a graduate of St Monica's North Parramatta as well as a former Principal of Emmaus Catholic College Kemps Creek. A larger-than-life character, his championship of change and innovation was a source of inspiration. He leaves an extraordinary legacy of thought-leadership and advocacy that continues to serve Catholic schools in the Parramatta Diocese today. CSPD gives thanks for Greg’s life and leadership. He will be remembered for his courage, vision and passion, which will live on through the generations of educators he has inspired. We share our sincerest sympathies with Greg’s wife Sue, their children Matthew, Alexandra and Sophie, his grandchildren, and extended family at this very sad time. Eternal rest grant unto Greg, O Lord. May perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Today both our campuses came together for our annual "CathWest Celebration Day" . Our students came together to celebrate as a community Trade and Vocation education at CathWest Innovation College. Our Year 12 students were tasked with planning and marketing a stall to support a charity that helps others including #beanieforbraincancer #jesuitrefugeeservice #stvinnieswinterappeal #youthoffthestreets #sirdavidmartinfoundation . Today’s celebration was about recognising the importance of compassion, mercy, and action. Through supporting a variety of organisations who work to make the world a better place, we are reminded of our call to love our neighbour. May we always see the world through the eyes of the Good Samaritan and be filled with your deep compassion. Thank you to the Year 12 students and mission team, especially Veronica for organising a successful day! 🧁⚽🥳 #cspd2024 #catholicschoolsparramatta
