On Wednesday evening, our Year 7 team debated against Clancy Catholic College from Hoxton Park in the first session of Elimination Finals of 2026 CSDA Debating. The team members; Emmanuel Jamieson, Morgan Leary and Fredrich Brillo made the College proud with their performance and presentation throughout the entire season and this week was no exception. Unfortunately, some of our team were unwell, and Fredrich offered to step in, not wanting the team to forfeit, even though he was not 100% himself. The boys performed very well, but in a high-quality and hard-fought debate, we went down narrowly. We commend them on their outstanding achievement of making it to the finals in their first season as debaters. Our Year 12 team has made it through the Quarter Finals, taking place on Friday 26th June. Congratulations again to all the students who have participated this season, and onto the next!

On Wednesday, as part of our partnership with Western Sydney University’s PATHE program, a group of our Year 10 Pasifika students participated in career-focused workshops tailored to their interests. The day included two specialised sessions followed by an insightful Q&A panel featuring Pasifika university students and a guest graduate speaker. Alongside peers from 18 other schools, our students had the valuable opportunity to connect with fellow Pasifika youth who share similar aspirations for tertiary education and future career pathways.

Last week our Year 7 students visited Sydney Zoo to take part in the Classification of Living Things program, a hands-on excursion aligned with the new Science syllabus. The 90-minute interactive workshop took students through the Australian precinct and Aquarium, guided by a Sydney Zoo educator. Students explored the diversity of life and the principles of scientific classification to identify and sort species. Thermal camera technology brought animal adaptations to life in a uniquely engaging way, allowing students to observe how Australian animals are suited to their environments firsthand. Before and after the workshop, students had the opportunity to explore the Asia and Africa precincts independently. The excursion connected classroom learning to real-world scientific practice, giving students direct exposure to animal classification, adaptation, and biodiversity. The use of technology and immersive zoo surroundings made for an unforgettable learning experience.

Our very own Year 11 student, Kalisi Aualiitia, was selected to represent Australia at the Oceania Athletics Championships in Darwin last month. This followed his impressive 2nd place result in the Hammer Throw at the National Championships in QLD during the school holidays. Kalisi competed in the U/18 Age group (one year above his own) and threw 62.96m with the 5kg hammer to win a silver medal. To represent your Country at a young age is a phenomenal achievement, and to win a silver medal in an age group above you is a testament to not only his skill but also his resilience and mental fortitude. Congratulations Kalisi, we're very proud of your achievement!

The Patrician Brothers' Blacktown community congratulates former student Farah Koko on his recent selection to represent the Sudanese National Football Team in an international friendly in Doha, Qatar. Farah represented Patties from Year 7 to Year 12 in the former MCS competition and was selected in the MCS representative team in 2019. Following outstanding performances with Manly and Sydney United, scoring 12 goals in 11 appearances over the past two seasons, his national team selection is thoroughly deserved. Remembered as someone who let his actions speak for him, always polite and willing to give his best at all times - he carries this same dedication onto the field every time he plays. We are incredibly proud to see Farah representing his country on the international stage and wish him every success.

During Reconciliation Week, CSPD students joined Indigenous veterans, Elders, community leaders and Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC at the Indigenous Veterans Commemoration Service in Hyde Park. As part of this group, several Patties students proudly performed with the Jannawi Dance Clan, laid wreaths in honour of Indigenous veterans, and reflected on the importance of culture, connection and remembrance. A special highlight was hearing from Uncle Danny Eastwood, creator of the Indigenous Veterans’ Memorial, whose legacy continues to inspire future generations. We would like to express our gratitude to Nai Fakatava, Bailey Hall, Levii Gibson Baxter, Bailey Gibson Baxter, and Caleb Curry-Jones for their outstanding participation and performance. Additionally, we extend a special thank you to Ms Kathy Plumridge for her invaluable mentorship and dedicated leadership leading up to this performance.
