HSC Examinations
The HSC Examinations concluded today. The HSC students are to be congratulated for their resilience and perseverance and for navigating the challenges of this year very well. Our thanks to all of the students who have supported the Year 12 students by praying for them and by allowing them to have a quiet space to complete their examinations.
Farewell assembly for Dr Greg Elliott
Today we farewelled Dr Greg Elliott at a college assembly. Dr Elliott has been the Principal here at Caroline Chisholm College for the last six years and has made a great contribution to the school community. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students to thank Dr Elliott for his leadership and care and wish him well for his new role as Director of Wellbeing in the Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta.

Uniform - Year 9 into Year 10 2022
Just a reminder that students starting Year 10 in 2022 will need the senior elements of their uniform. While skirts, socks and sports uniform remains the same, they will need the senior shirt, jumper and blazer. The blazer will not be mandatory to wear until Term 2 next year so you may choose to put off purchasing that. As with all school uniform items, these can be purchased from Lowes in Penrith Plaza. It would be best to get this organised well before the start of next year.
Donations of Old Uniforms
If any parents have old uniforms in reasonable condition, they are invited to donate them to the college to assist us to have an emergency supply which we use for a variety of reasons. These can be sent in at the start of the year or any time during the year. Please note, though, that we cannot use the old version of the sports uniform. Any donations will be most appreciated.
