Congratulations to our Brother Charles Barry, who celebrated his Diamond Jubilee, (60 years), as a Patrician Brother!
In August 1955, Brother Charles joined the Patrician Brothers in Ireland. At the tender age of 21, he was asked to leave his home and family to come to Australia to teach at Patrician Brothers Fairfield, where he was appointed Principal after 5 years.
In 1968, Brother Charles joined a group of 21 volunteers who established the Patrician story in Papua New Guinea, clearing the land, building schools and educating the grateful students and building communities.
As we celebrated with Brother Charles on Friday 14 August with Brothers,
We have been blessed to have Brother Charles with us at Delany College for 20 years now, as a teacher, and now Counsellor. He is a man of many talents and the students and staff appreciate his wisdom, caring and humble lead.

πβ¨ A day of faith, friendship and leadership! βοΈ Our Year 10 students joined their peers from fellow Patrician schools for an inspiring day exploring the life and legacy of Bishop Daniel Delany.

π Our Stage 5 Drama students recently enjoyed an inspiring excursion to GRIMM: Tales from the Brothers Grimm at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith. Presented by Shake & Stir Theatre Co., this bold and imaginative production brought classic fairy tales to life through innovative staging, dynamic physical theatre and stunning visual design. The experience gave students valuable insight into contemporary Australian theatre, creative storytelling and the many ways performance can captivate an audience. A fantastic opportunity to see the magic of live theatre in action! β¨π

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.
