25.01.2022 Please join us via the live stream link https://youtu.be/US_VJqiR3So at 5pm this afternoon to witness our Y12, 2020 cohort graduate. Lots of prayers are needed to keep the rain away a little longer

25.01.2022 Save the date!! Our annual Multicultural Day has been scheduled for Friday, 4 September Planning is well underway and preparation has begun with our beautiful Polynesian students rehearsing their dance performance during lunch each day It's bound to be a spectacular afternoon of cultural celebrations that you don't want to miss out on!

25.01.2022 In light of R U OK Day today, we asked teachers to join Y12 for a pizza lunch to check-in and start the conversation - R U OK? If someone in your world is struggling with lifes ups and downs a simple check-in could help them feel supported and cared about. It could change, or even save, their life.

24.01.2022 Our Y11 PDHPE students participated in the First Aid REVIVA Course in preparation for their Preliminary option "First Aid" The Y11 Early Childhood Education and Care VET cluster class was also present in order to learn how to provide an emergency response in an education and care setting. Students learnt how to perform CPR on an adult and infant, DRSABCD, pressure immobilisation bandage and technique, anaphylaxis and asthma

24.01.2022 Students from the Y9 and 10 MIE class (My Ideas Experience) ran a basketball tournament as part of learning about event management and sports administration . The students who won the finals played in the students vs teachers match Can you guess who won?

24.01.2022 The Y8 Science assessment "modelling the solar system" for the topic: Are they good neighbours? saw the students tap into their imagination and creativity. Students were asked to work in groups to make a model of our solar system. Some made cake models, others made models on cardboard, there were plaster models and ones made using styrofoam balls Their presentations were equally as informative and impressive. Well done Y8!

22.01.2022 We're looking forward to learning together in Term 3. With students and staff being welcomed back to school this morning, the safety of our caring school commun...ities is our priority. During the school holidays, there was an increase in COVID-19 cases in the Sydney area. As we continue to support students and their families, we will keep you updated on this changing situation. A reminder that anyone returning from Victoria must self-isolate for 14 days.

22.01.2022 A reminder to members of the Delany community that the College is open these school holidays to assist parents and caregivers with supervision of their children that are enrolled in the College. We are open from 8:45am to 3:00pm daily for the remainder of the Term 1 school holidays. If you need support with supervision please do not hesitate to contact the College at [email protected]. We are all in this together. God bless.

22.01.2022 Today we welcomed Mr Matt Dorahy from CAPTIVATE to the College to introduce a new bucket drumming program for Y11 and 12 music students. This will give the students an opportunity to put their learning into practice

22.01.2022 Our new modular seating with desks, including a semi circle whiteboard desk, was delivered to the College this week. It's been procured specifically for the Mathematics faculty and both students and staff are super excited as it enables small group workshops and targeted teaching

20.01.2022 Some of our Year 9 and 10 students are involved in the YES program - a fantastic initiative run by TAFE NSW - Granville providing students with the opportunity to have a "taste test" of a course of their choosing. Not only does this program get the students thinking about their future but it also gives them exposure to a tertiary education facility and environment. Some of the courses on offer one day per week include Barbering, Automotive, Bricklaying and Beauty, Hair & Nails

19.01.2022 As part of the Y9 & 10 History topic 'History, Heritage and Archaeology' students researched various ancient sites, including the discovery of mummies in Ancient Egypt and how the mummification process was used to preserve bodies as part of their belief in the afterlife Students were fascinated by the methods used so they mummified various food items, including sausages, apples and carrots using bi-carb soda and salt These items will be given time to "mummify" and students will be able to see if the methods applied actually work. Anyone else intrigued by Ancient Egypt?

19.01.2022 Field trip Fun! Last Friday Y11 Biology took part in biological fieldwork at Long Reef Rock platform, Collaroy During the day students collected first hand data on the ecosystem related to their studies of Module 4 Ecosystem Dynamics. Some students got a little wet in the surf but all had fun on the day gaining valuable field experience

18.01.2022 Students in Y11 Visual Arts worked hard this semester to create an Abstract submission based on Case Studies aligned to their own artistic practice. Early investigations developed the students ability to totally remove realistic imagery and rely solely on the art elements to inform their work, just as the Father of Abstraction Wassily Kandinsky had done 100 years ago. Students developed creative works based on various techniques and concepts borrowed from a diverse selection of famous abstractionists Perhaps you can guess who they are?

18.01.2022 Y8 Italian students embraced their inner Cake Boss skills decorating Italian cannoli shells with authentic vaniglia, cioccolata and ricotta filling from Pasticceria Papa. Some added choc-chips or sprinkles and for the finishing touch, a scattering of icing sugar. Students agreed that the best part was indulging in their Italian creations. Some cannoli even made it home to some very lucky families! Italian is offered as an elective in Stage 5

18.01.2022 Y8 Technology students have just started a unit of work focusing on digital technologies where they will be learning about virtual reality and programming As an introduction, students were exposed to existing examples of virtual reality. Next, they begin making their own!!

18.01.2022 An inspiring and encouraging message from Bishop Vincent Long to all Y12 students across the Parramatta Diocese

17.01.2022 At the end of Term 2, our wonderful Y11 students hosted a 'Teacher Appreciation' morning tea as a gesture of thanks for all the support teachers had provided, both remotely and face-to-face, during an exceptionally unusual semester. Aren't we a lucky bunch of staff here at Delany to have such thoughtful students? We sure think so!

17.01.2022 The last of our winter harvest... Potato and leek soup perhaps?

16.01.2022 Our Stage 6 students have been tasked with building some outdoor furniture, modelling off our current pieces, as part of their learning in Construction class It certainly looks like it will all come together nicely!

15.01.2022 Congratulations to our 2021 Student Leaders who officially received their badges today We're very much looking forward to working closely with these young men and women in leading the whole school body and wish them every success in their roles as leaders

14.01.2022 National Reconciliation Week is celebrated each year from 27 May to 3 June. The theme this year is #InThisTogether2020. We ask God to help us truly embody a spirit of reconciliation - a spirit which lives in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward. We pray that we may be a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples .

13.01.2022 It was with great pleasure we welcomed our Year 7, 2021 students to the College yesterday for their orientation program This day was important as they prepare themselves for secondary school and the learning journey ahead of them. They displayed a commendable positive attitude, manners and presentation.

13.01.2022 A few weeks ago, we held a Y12 movie night to give the year group the opportunity to come together and celebrate their final year of schooling. We thought it was important to do so since they've lost so much time as a cohort due to COVID-19. It was a night spent catching up with their peers and teachers, enjoying great food, snacks and a movie!

13.01.2022 During lunch on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays we run a Games Group which is a relaxed space for students to get together and play non-electronic games with their peers. Some favourites include table tennis, Game of Life, Uno, Giant Jenga, Twister and Connect Four. Students love to sit, chat and eat their lunch whilst meeting other students with similar interests and hobbies. It's available to all students from every year group.

12.01.2022 Congratulations to students participating in the Australian Space Design Competition finals. You can watch the presentations here.

We share our opening and closing prayer from todays liturgy with our community: Let us pray. God of compassion, we stand before you stunned by the events in Lebanon. Hear our prayer of lament as we plead Why? We, your people are in pain. You are loving and all giving. Calm the storms that threaten us and send your Spirit to comfort us.

Italian is offered to students as an elective in Y9 & 10.
