Year 12 students at the Careers Expo held on Friday 13th June at St Paul's Catholic College.
A Careers Expo was held at St Paul’s Catholic College, Greystanes offering Year 12 students a chance to explore post-school pathways.
Year 12 students recently attended the 2025 St Paul’s Catholic College Careers Expo, gaining valuable insight into a wide range of post-school pathways. Students were allocated one-hour to explore universities, private colleges, TAFE, other training providers and industry representatives helping students make informed decisions about their futures.
During the expo, students had the opportunity to speak directly with professionals and educators about various career options, study opportunities, apprenticeships and training pathways. The expo encouraged students to ask questions, gather resources and explore different fields, helping them better understand what lies ahead after high school.
The experience was a timely opportunity for students to clarify their post-school options and feel more confident about the decisions they’ll soon be making.

YEAR 7 😃 A new participation program was launched for Year 7 students this week. The ‘Participation Passport’ will allow students to track their engagement in school activities and acknowledge their involvement in the school community. 👩💻 👩🌾 👩🎨 Students have been asked to present their passport to the organising teacher once they have participated in an activity and have it stamped or initialled to acknowledge their participation. Completed passports can then be submitted to Mrs Cowling so that a record of the student’s participation can be recorded on the student’s report. “We want to give you the opportunity to be recognised for all of those things that you are joining in on,” Mrs T. Cowling, Leader of Learning Wellbeing Year 7, told the Year 7 students.

YEAR 11 GEOGRAPHY 🗻 On Tuesday morning this week keen Year 11 Geographers visited the Sydney Institute of Marine Studies for a special student screening of 'White Rock' to support their HSC studies of kelp forests of the Great Southern Reef. White Rock is a 35 minute documentary exposing the boom in longspined sea urchins devastating Australia's kelp forests. Mrs G. Noud, Leader of Learning HSIE - Social Science, said that the film, the lecture provided afterwards, and the short walk around the harbour, were engaging, incredibly valuable to the students' studies and definitely enjoyable, especially on a sunny winter's day.
