Our students had a wonderful time, speaking confidently about their experience during the Cuberider project and inviting guests to try out their prototype of a moisturizer suitable for space travel.
So impressed was a businessman that he offered the girls the opportunity to consider producing the cream using indigenous ingredients, with the possibility of featuring the product in the travel kit of first class travellers on QANTAS flights!
He described their efforts as ‘inspirational’ and a true reflection of STEM education in the real world.
This experience was truly an eye opener for our students as they realised the importance and impact of their learning…
‘This was an incredible opportunity to celebrate the achievements of students and for students to be recognised for all of our efforts and endeavours’

Today, we held the second match of the Staff v Year 12 Students Shield, with both teams facing off in soccer. While the staff came away with a 4–1 victory, it was a hard-fought contest with plenty of skill, determination, and great sportsmanship on display throughout the game. It was also fantastic to see so many students from across the school coming out to support and create such a positive atmosphere.

Yesterday we celebrated the Ascension of the Lord, reminding us that Christ’s mission did not end with the Resurrection. It reached its glorious fulfilment as Jesus ascended body and soul into Heaven, opening the way for humanity to share in eternal life with God. As the disciples watched Jesus ascend, they were reminded not to remain standing still, but to go forth in faith, hope and mission. The Ascension calls each of us to lift our hearts toward Heaven while living as witnesses of Christ in our everyday lives. We celebrate the hope that through Jesus’ victory over sin and death, we too are invited into the glory of eternal life. May we trust in God’s mercy, live with courage, and keep our eyes fixed on Christ.

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
