On Wednesday 6th February, Year 6 set off to go to Camp Collaroy for two nights and three days.
Camp Collaroy is a huge property, on Sydney’s Northern beaches that is used for school camps. This property is set close to Collaroy beach, which meant we could do some really fun activities there.
The activities that Year 6 participated in required everyone to step out of their comfort zones and to trust in themselves and their peers. The activities we did were: laser tag, archery, giant swing, rock climbing, flying fox, fun in the sun and games on the oval. These activities were incredibly fun and challenging but Year 6 did a great job in taking part.
On the last night of camp, all of Year 6, including the teachers, had to get ready to go on a walk that would take an hour and a half. The camp guides that were taking us on the walk explained the rules before we set off. We walked past shops, houses and the beach. When we reached the midpoint destination, we stopped and looked at the view. It was so magical.
We were on top of a mountain which had a breathtaking view of the ocean. We could see all the way to the city in one direction and all the way to Gosford in the other. We stopped for a group photo before we began to walk back to camp. On the way back we needed our torches because it was starting to get dark. When we got back and up the giant hill, we all flopped onto the grass and didn’t want to move because we were so tired!
We were all exhausted at the end of the camp and although we were grateful for the experience, we were super excited to go home.
Camp Collaroy was the best camp ever!

What a beautiful way to celebrate our Fathers’! We extend our deepest thanks to the amazing mums in our school community who generously hosted our Fathers’ Day Breakfast. The spread of cookies, cakes, pizzas, fruit, right down to the specially wrapped Tim Tams, exemplified a feast made with love and care. Our Dads, grandfathers, carers and the special men in our students’ lives felt truly appreciated. Thank you for the time, thoughtfulness and community spirit you brought to this special morning. 💙A full list of volunteers and those who generously donated for our event will be included in this weeks newsletter💙

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.

What an adventurous day we’ve had! This morning, our school came alive with dragons, detectives, pirates, superheroes, and so many favourite storybook characters. From creative homemade outfits to much-loved store-bought costumes, the parade was bursting with colour and imagination. And yes, the staff costume reveal was absolutely worth the wait! The adventure didn’t stop there. At midday, the whole school joined in a giant scavenger hunt! Teams made up of students from across all grades raced around solving riddles and uncovering hidden locations. You might be thinking, “392 students running all over the school? Surely that’s chaos!” Well… yes, but it was the most joyful kind of chaos—filled with teamwork, laughter, and plenty of friendly competition. 🏆 Points Update: Elijah (Red): 2444 Gilroy (Blue): 2660 Mackillop (Green): 1798 McAuley (Gold): 2291 A huge thank you to our parents, carers, and staff who joined the fun and helped make Book Week such a memorable celebration. 📚💫
