Clancy Catholic College West Hoxton

On Sunday 15th September, Year 12 students and their families participated in a Thanksgiving Mass and morning tea at Holy Spirit, Carnes Hill to thank the community for their ongoing support and prayers throughout their HSC year.

2024 Staff VS. Students results. It was an extremely competitive tournament this year with some close games:

Soccer: 2-2 Draw
Touch Football: Teacher's Won
Volleyball: Students Won

Thank you to all involved. It was a great way to celebrate R U OK? Week and Year 12's last couple of weeks at the College.

Until next year!

Last Wednesday, the annual Year 10 Commerce Market Day Stalls were held, where the Year 10 Commerce students had the opportunity to effectively create, market and sell their own unique food items. This project based learning experience was a great way for the students to engage with the unit 'Running a Business'

Well done to the students who managed to make a 'profit' which was then donated to charity. We also thank our Commerce teachers Ms Barbuto, Ms Rizk and Ms Marinos who helped guide the students through this project.

This week was Year 12's last lunchtime making sandwiches for the Vinnies appeal. Thank you to the students from Chisholm and JPII for volunteering their time.

Enjoy some photos from the Year 12 Trivia Night last week. The theme for the night was 'Decades' and we saw some fantastic costumes.

We would like to recognise one of our students, Alexa (Year 7) who recently competed at the Crystal Challenge Competition in Melbourne. This competition allows for the talents of young aspiring professional figure skaters to be showcased not only for the state but across Australia and overseas, becoming a significant achievement within her sport. Alexa represented NSW and competed against 15 Figure Skaters from across Australia and New Zealand where she received 1st place in Preliminary Girls with her technical routine to “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez, receiving a personal best score of 25.57.

This is an amazing achievement and one that we as a community are extremely proud of. ⛸💛💙

Ask R U OK?
Listen

This week, to highlight RUOK Day on Thursday 12th September, staff and students are asked to write a pledge with a commitment they are willing to make to those around them. These pledges are symbolic of the importance of checking in on a friend or a peer and will act as a reminder that even the simplest question can start an important conversation.

Come on down to the space outside the chapel every day this week!
