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.

Last week some of our year 9 students were invited to speak at a meeting for the Rotary Club of Holroyd. Jacinta, Phoebe and Elizabeth presented their reflections on the RYPEN camp which took place earlier this year at Teen Ranch and which was organised and kindly sponsored by Rotary. The year 9 students delivered a wonderful speech about their camp experience: from conquering their fears on the high ropes, learning about mental health to bonding around the campfire under the stars, the girls' adventures were vividly brought to life, gaining much praise from the smiling and inspired audience! Thank you so much to Holroyd Rotary for hosting the girls and for sponsoring such a wonderful and enriching experience!#holroydrotary#cspd

Today we give thanks for the life of our Foundress Mother St Joseph (Jeanne Marie Chavoin) who died 30 June 1858 in Jarnosse, France. God of graciousness and love, we thank you for the gift of Jeanne Marie Chavoin, our foundress, Mother St Joseph. She lived in the spirit of Mary and drew others to a way of life revealed by you to the early Marists Mary's way of living the Gospel, of engaging in the mission of Jesus. May our foundress Mother St Joseph intercede for us today that we may draw others to this same way of life. Let her prayer for each of us be: "May the Spirit of Mary remain always with her." We pray this in the name of Jesus your Son. Amen.

Year 10 Geography excursion On Tuesday, 17th June, our Year 10 Geography students took their learning beyond the classroom with a fieldwork excursion to beautiful Cronulla Beach. Under clear winter skies, students explored real-world examples of coastal management in action, observing both natural processes and human impacts on the coastline. They examined the environmental challenges facing local councils and community groups, gaining first hand insight into how our coastlines are protected and maintained. The day was not only educational but also one of the most enjoyable excursions of the year—many students commented on how much they learned and how good it was in building connection. Student behaviour was also exemplary! A big thank you to the dedicated staff who participated in the excursion.
