The student will travel to significant Australian battlefields in Belgium and France on a 12 day tour of the Western Front, along with students from other schools. Our student will also attend commemorative events in the town of Ypres in Belgium, acknowledging 100 years since Australia lost 38,000 men in battle there.
Mr Robert Muscat, College Principal, identified this opportunity a number of weeks ago and directed the HSIE Faculty to complete the application process. We are very pleased at the successful result.
Students in Years 10 and 11 in 2017 who are enrolled at Delany College may apply by submitting an original piece of work about why it is important to commemorate Anzac Day. If shortlisted, students will then explain their work to a Panel (chaired by Mr Muscat) who will select the successful student. Details of how to apply have been communicated to the students.
Information can also be found at:

It is important that interested students submit their work by the due date and have parental permission to travel to Europe, should they be successful. I encourage every student currently in Year 9 or 10 who is interested in the story of Anzac to apply.

What a show! ๐ญ The 2025 CAPTIVATE Immersion Program Emu Wars brought together 48 students from 14 secondary schools across the diocese for an unforgettable performance at The Joan, Penrith. Based on the 1932 'civil war' between the Australian Army and a flock of emus in the Campion District of Western Australia, it has gone down as one of the most comical events in Australian Peacetime History. Shoutout to Delany Collegeโs own Jack Fitzpatrick (Yr 12) and Aeva Mendez (Yr 8), who nailed a tough audition, then dedicated their Winter Holidays to rehearsals before taking the stage. Bravo! ๐๐ฆ Students from the various performing arts - dance, drama and music - were required to adapt their skills across all three areas to present a performance which told the story of the Emu Wars. Two performances were held, a school matinee on the afternoon of Thursday 24 July, followed by a public performance on the same evening. Jack and Aeva not only highlighted their own personal skills in the performing arts, but also integrated with the other performers to present a truly inspiring and professional performance, developed and rehearsed in a little over ten days.
