On Thursday 18 June Year 10 students travelled to Sydney Olympic Park to visit many of the one hundred and twenty exhibitors at the Western Sydney Careers Expo.
Students spent time walking through exhibitor stalls and speaking to various course providers about career paths and opportunities. Universities, TAFEs, the Australian Defence Force and numerous private colleges representing the arts, music, information technology and hospitality industries were visited.
Students also had the opportunity to sit and listen to seminar talks including those given by the Universities Admissions Centre, the Mathematics Association of NSW and the Academy of Interactive Entertainment.
Following this excursion, on Friday 19 June, the school held its first Careers Forum in the San Damiano Centre. The purpose of this day was to expand the thinking of the students about careers and career pathways. Students were divided into small groups and rotated between five presentations during the forum. The presentations were led by Australian Catholic University lecturers and current students, as well as a lecturer from the University of Western Sydney.
Students gained information on Business, Law and Health Science degrees, along with VET options and transitions and support provided in tertiary education and employment. Overall, both days were highly beneficial in providing relevant and timely information to the students that could be used to assist in their subject choices for Years 11 and 12.

This student-led initiative, planned by our Year 12 SRC in collaboration with Mrs Karafotias and Mrs Dwyer, aligns with National Skills Week and aims to inspire and inform students as they explore future career pathways. Students will be exposed to a wide range of opportunities beyond school, including university, vocational education and training (VET), apprenticeships, and employment. They will engage with industry professionals, alumni, and guest speakers, including Adam Newman (The Careers Guy), gaining valuable real-world insights. Students are invited to dress as their future career aspiration, ensuring attire is appropriate and respectful. All footwear must be enclosed. A โWhen I Grow Upโ photo station will be available throughout the day. Students not dressed in career clothing will be required to dress in full- school winter uniform. A detailed schedule has been shared via Compass.

He is Risen! โ๏ธ As our St Agnes CHS community enjoys a well-deserved break, we pause this Easter Sunday to reflect on the joy and hope of Christโs resurrection. Easter reminds us of new beginnings, renewal, and the power of faith, even in times of rest and stillness. May this holiday be filled with peace, love, and time to reconnect with family and what matters most. Wishing all our students, families, and staff a blessed and joyful Easter. He is risen, alleluia!

On Good Friday, we remember Christโs love shown through sacrifice. A love that calls us to stand with those who suffer, and to act with compassion and justice for all. As we reflect today, may we continue to walk together towards a more just world.
