The Year 7 Numeracy Evening was held on Monday 18th February and proved to be a very informative night for the parents of those students who attended.
Mental computations and EMU (Extending Mathematical Understanding) games and strategies were demonstrated and explained to the parents. They experienced first hand playing many of our favourite EMU games.
The Mathematics staff and EMU Specialist teachers were on hand to assist and guide the parents as they played. Not only did they go home with a broader and deeper knowledge of numeracy and the College’s Numeracy program, but they also got to take home a show bag full of useful resources.
The aim is for parents to work with their daughters at home as the more experiences students have with these activities, the greater their numerical growth will be.
Parents were able to meet and talk to the Mathematics teachers as well as Miss. Hanson, the Year 7 Coordinator and the Assistant Coordinator, Ms. Singleton.
A big thank you to the Year 8 helpers (Rashell S., Maylyn P., Emilie B., Monica B., Abuk A., Lorena L., Maria-Isabela C., Joelle A., Aluel J., Stacy-Lee D., Grace A., Reese B., Eman I., Chanel D., Chanel A., Eleena B. and Michelle R.) who ably assisted the teachers throughout the evening.

Today, we were pleased to welcome student ambassadors, Siena Mia and Aileen from The University of Sydney speak with our students during lunchtime. Students gained valuable insights into why they should consider studying at Sydney Uni, including information about courses on offer, campus life, scholarships and pathways into university. The presenters also explained a range of entry and support schemes available to students, along with practical advice on the university application process. A special highlight was hearing from Siena Mia, one of our 2023 graduates and now an alumni of the school, who shared her own experiences transitioning from high school to university life at The University of Sydney. Her advice and insights provided students with a relatable perspective on the opportunities available after school. Thank you to the team from The University of Sydney for taking the time to support and inspire our students as they begin planning their future pathways.#usyd #cspd

Cerdon UN Workshop 2026 Last Friday over forty students participated in the The United Nations Workshop . This event is a student developed and run, engaging experience that gives students the opportunity to model the workings of the Security Council. The girls learned how to draft a resolution, negotiate with delegates, and confidently present their country's perspectives on issues such as the governance of the oil trade and the role of women in politics. Congratulations to our convenors Bella, Nirvana, Salma and Tanishka for leading the day and for all the girls who participated in such an enriching experience!

Lifted Live On Wednesday 6th May, ten Year 8 students attended Nagle College to participate in Lifted Live. It was a fantastic and faith-enriching experience for all involved. Throughout the day, students explored the theme of truth — reflecting on what truth means in their own lives and coming to understand that ultimate truth is found in God. They engaged enthusiastically in the dynamic performances, inspiring testimonies, and interactive sessions led by the Lifted Team and Lou Daniels. A particularly meaningful part of the day was the opportunity to participate in Adoration, where students were invited to spend quiet time in prayer, reflection, and worship before Christ. This sacred experience allowed them to pause, listen, and deepen their personal relationship with God. Overall, it was a deeply enriching day that strengthened the students’ faith and provided them with a memorable opportunity to encounter Christ in a joyful and meaningful way.

This morning, Cerdon College warmly welcomed mothers and maternal figures from across our community for our 2026 Mother’s Day Mass. Celebrated by Father Jeremy in the Chavoin Hall, the liturgy was a beautiful and prayerful celebration of the important role mothers and maternal figures play in our lives. It was heartwarming to see so many students gathered alongside their mothers and loved ones as a school community united in gratitude and faith. A particularly moving part of the Mass was the personal student testimonies, where students shared why their mum or maternal figure is so special to them. These reflections touched the hearts of many parents in attendance. The celebration also featured a special photo slideshow of mothers and daughters, accompanied by the choir’s beautiful rendition of The Prayer, creating a truly memorable and emotional moment for all present. We thank all families who attended and helped make the celebration such a blessed and meaningful occasion for our community.
