St Paul's Catholic College - SPCC St Paul’s Catholic College is expanding in 2026 with a new Junior Campus, offering co-educational learning from Years 5–12. Across two campuses, we deliver a connected, future-focused education guided by our values of courage, compassion, and stewardship.

Pathways and Partnerships || Macquarie University and HIA

Our students had the amazing opportunity to hear from two incredible guests who shared valuable insights about life after school.

Macquarie University Ambassador and St Paul's alumni, Nick Taylor, visited to talk about what it's really like to study at university. From balancing life on campus to choosing the right course, our students got a firsthand look at what tertiary study can offer.

For those more interested in the trades, we were thrilled to have the Housing Industry Association (HIA) visit to give a hands-on talk about what’s expected of an apprentice in the trades industry. They shared great advice on starting a career in the trades and the exciting opportunities in this field.

A huge thank you to our guest speakers for providing such valuable information to help guide our students in their future pathways.

CSBB Secondary Gala Day || Tennis

On Tuesday 26 November St Paul’s sent both a junior and senior team to the CSBB Secondary Tennis Gala Day.

In the hot conditions our students played with great spirit and determination. Our junior boys team finished 2nd, while our senior boys finished 4th.

Well done team!

House Futsal Competition || Preliminary Finals

The remaining three rounds of the preliminary finals in the St Paul's House Futsal competition have been played, and it was three Gilroy sides, a side from Taylor and Bourke, and most importantly the staff side (the 'Slayers') who booked their spots in the quarter finals. Moran's teams have all been eliminated.

Today at recess we have our second semifinal: Gilroy Gators vs Taylor Topguns with the winner progressing through to tomorrow's GRAND FINAL to be played during COURAGE against Taylor Troopers.

Will it be Taylor vs Taylor, or can Gilroy get up and be the first Gilroy side to win the House Futsal competition?

The Japanese Continuers course provides opportunities for students to develop their skills and knowledge of Japanese, gaining an insight into the culture and language of Japanese-speaking communities through the study of a range of texts.

Japanese Continuers students launched into the HSC course with a CSBB combined schools event. Students were able to practice their speaking skills with various examiners and work together in pairs to complete an amazing race challenge and various online quizzes.
