Our Elective Art students had the opportunity to enjoy an excursion to the Art Gallery of NSW to listen to three 2015 HSC art students discuss their works which featured in this years Art Express.
Our students were able to gain insight into the processes and experimentation that students go through in order to create a Body of Work. Students were then able to view the variety of works on display. They were also lucky enough this year to view some works from the Sydney Biennale.
Here is what some of our students has to say about the day:
It was very interesting to see the process of the HSE students making their art.
Gideon Cirera
The variety of different approaches taken in the creation of all the artworks exhibited in the Art Express was Amazing.
Jomiko Cabigting
Seeing the different materials and processes used by the HSE students sparked our creativity
Aerianne Mojica
The gallery was very interesting to look at, all the nice and unique artworks that I saw there was a lot of work the students put in.

Congratulations Savannah Tofaeono on your selection for the Australian Schoolgirls Rugby League Trials taking place in Townsville. Savannah is one of St Agnesโ very own talented Rugby League players. Her progress over the past few years has been incredible, and what she has accomplished in the world of Rugby League is truly inspiring. Savannahโs accomplishments on the field are impressive. She has been a key player for the St Agnes Rugby League team in the Panther Trophy competition over the past few years. Last season, she played a major role in helping our U16s girls team win the tournament despite playing one player short in every game, all while she was just 15 years old. This year, Savannah has participated in several representative trials, earning selection for the Parramatta Diocese team and subsequently the NSWCCC side. To help Savannah out on this huge achievement to get her to Townsville, we are asking for donations in the form of a gold coin or via the QKR App. So give generous if you can. Good luck Savannah!!! We are all cheering for you.

On the 12th of June, our school captains Angela and Ethan, alongside our Mission Leader Ruby, had the privilege of attending the LIFTED Leaders Bishopโs Breakfast. The morning featured an engaging keynote speaker who explored the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence on both society and faith. It was a valuable opportunity for our students to connect with other school leaders, members of the Catholic Church, and Jack De Groot, Executive Director of Schools. Through meaningful dialogue and shared insights, our student leaders came away inspired and empowered to lead positive change within our school and across the wider diocese

On 5 June, our Year 12 Construction students at St Agnes Catholic High School rolled up their sleeves and got hands-on with a concreting project for the school garden beds. As part of their Set in Stone unit, students applied skills from their courseworkโmeasuring, levelling, and pouring concreteโto create slabs that will be used by the Environmental Committee. The weather held out, and the teamwork was fantastic. A great example of classroom learning coming to life!

Together For Humanity Fundraiser at Parliament House On Wednesday, 4th June 2025, four St Agnes student leaders, Austin, Annliya, Alex, and Angela, had the honour of representing our school at the Together For Humanity (TFH) Fundraiser held at Parliament House, Sydney. Selected for their exceptional involvement in TFH Leadership Training, the students joined Miss Fielding on a panel facilitated by journalist Ally Langdon, where they spoke powerfully about leadership, inclusion, and intercultural understanding. Their reflections highlighted the importance of accepting difference, breaking down prejudice, and creating a world where all people are valued and welcomed for who they are. The event was attended by prominent Members of Parliament, who voiced strong support for initiatives that promote diversity, unity, and social cohesion.
