Today, we saw the official launch of the Delany Connective, a connected classroom to support new and innovative teaching and learning methodologies at the College.
On arrival, the Delany Choir treated guests to a moving rendition of the Deers Cry.
In his welcome, Principal, Peter Wade, quoted directly from Robert Fulgham's, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. He spoke about the need to hold hands and stick together and encouraged the current Year 7s to work on this for the next 5 1/2 years while at Delany College. He thanked the team of Delany teachers who lead the learning each day, as well as Catholic Education and Telstra who have worked with the College and provided these wonderful opportunities.
Greg Whitby, Executive Director Catholic Education Parramatta, spoke about the wonderful partnership between Catholic Education, Delany College and Telstra to make the Delany Connective a reality. He commended Peter Wade for being a Principal who actually teaches each day.
We also heard from Brendon Riley from Telstra and Dr Miranda Jefferson from Catholic Education before Fr Chris D'Souza declared the Delany Connective open.

Year 7 Ambassadors guided the guests through the new learning space, while students worked in groups showcasing their most recent projects. We look forward to continuing our great partnerships through ongoing communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.

Our Year 11 students took time away from their usual routines to come together for their retreat. 🌱 The retreat gave students the opportunity to pause, reflect and focus on their formation and spirituality. Through prayer, reflection and shared activities, they strengthened their connection with God, built meaningful relationships with their teachers and peers, and considered how they can continue to grow in faith and community. 🙏💛 Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a special and memorable experience for our Year 11 students. ✨

Our Stage 6 Music students had the wonderful opportunity to experience Disney’s The Lion King live at the Capitol Theatre. 🦁🎭🎶 It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to see professional musicians and performers at work and to experience first hand how music, movement, staging and storytelling come together in a world class theatrical production. Experiences like this bring classroom learning to life and give our young musicians a chance to see where their own creativity, musicianship and performance skills can take them. A brilliant day of music, theatre and inspiration for our Stage 6 musicians! And, of course, there’s only one way to finish… Hakuna Matata! 🦁🌅
