💜 This year’s theme for Bullying No Way Week, “Small Acts, Big Impact” shows us that even little things we do can make someone’s day better. 💜 Bullying affects everyone, not just the person being targeted. If you see it happening, do not ignore it. Your support, even a quiet and simple action, sends a clear message that bullying is not okay.

Our Year 10 Inquiry students recently took part in an amazing program organised by Girls on Fire ! 🔥 Led by experienced emergency service agencies, the program featured hands-on activities that helped our students build resilience, develop leadership, communicate efficiently, and strengthen their teamwork skills. Students also gained practical experience with fire hazard reduction techniques used to protect assets and bushland. Best of all, the girls left feeling inspired by the many exciting career pathways available in emergency services! 🚒👨‍🚒 @catholicschoolsparra Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese @fireandrescuensw @girlsonfireaustralia @nswrfs

To conclude Term 2, our Year 10 Religion classes joined together for a hands-on activity that helped us better understand what people facing homelessness go through. This experience was designed to link to our Vinnies Winter Appeal and build empathy, encourage teamwork, and shed light on the everyday challenges many people face. 💙Our FIAT leaders did a great job guiding each group by explaining the tasks, offering support, and encouraging everyone to work together. The main challenge was for small groups to create a temporary homeless shelter using only cardboard boxes and a few other materials. With limited supplies, students had to get creative, communicate well, and cooperate to make a shelter that was actually practical. 💜This activity was a powerful reminder of how important it is to work together, solve problems, and show compassion. It gave everyone a chance to reflect on just how tough life can be for those without a home. Annah Conduru, FIAT Leader @vinniesnsw @vinniesyouthnsw

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?

If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

Our Year 12 students came together at our Loyola Campus for an inspiring Encounter Day centred on the theme, "Go and Do Likewise." Throughout the day, students were challenged to consider how they can use their future careers and gifts to serve others.🧑‍🍳👩‍🚒 We were privileged to hear from former diocesan student, Australian Paralympian and Guinness World Record holder Matt Caruana , whose powerful story reminded students that, like the Good Samaritan, we are called to stop and help those in need, while also finding the courage to keep moving forward on our own journey with hope and resilience. "Nothing is Out of Reach". 💙💜 Students also participated in engaging workshops led by Vinnies, The God Squad, Parramatta Mission and Little Wings, exploring practical ways they can use their skills and passions to make a meaningful difference in their communities beyond their high school years. A day of inspiration, reflection and challenge, encouraging our Year 12 students to be the hands and feet of Christ wherever life leads them. @mattshares Matt Shares @vinniesyouthnsw Vinnies NSW Catholic Schools @parracatholic @metparracatholic @littlewingsaustralia @catholicschoolsparra
