HOPE AND JOY | A huge congratulations to Gabriel O (Year 9) who won the major overall award, the Bishop’s Prize, at the presentation evening for the 2024 Religious Creative Arts Prize held at Hornsby RSL last week.![]()
Students were required to link their creative piece directly to the religious theme ‘May the God of hope fill you with joy.’ (Romans 15:13). Gabriel’s entry was a short film in the Stage 5 category titled 'Hope', with a message that when things get tough at school and in life, take some time out and enjoy the company of God to give you hope.![]()
Gabriel was presented to the Bishop and other dignitaries, with his proud parents and Principal, Mr Gleeson in attendance.![]()
Well done also to Aidan D of Year 8, who received second place in Stage 4 Visual Art.
THE SKY'S THE LIMIT | Recently a group of our Year 10 and 11 students attended a one-day Aviation event hosted by Sydney Flight College (SFC). Students spent the day with SFC flight instructors at Bankstown Aerodrome learning what it takes to become a pilot. ![]()
To challenge the statistic of only 5% of pilots being female, the CSBB Pathways Team together with Sydney Flight College and The Regional Industry Educational Partnerships (RIEP) co-designed a hands-on pilot immersion day focusing on boosting female participation. Year 10 and 11 students (54% female) were provided with an opportunity to fly a Boeing 737 in the flight simulator with an experienced pilot looking on. One key learning for attendees was that flying these planes involves excellent focus for ongoing monitoring of cockpit instrumentation. ![]()
A navigation workshop emphasised the necessity of working mathematically and highlighted real-world links to the science curriculum as they discussed wing design and forces with SFC pilots. The day helped students understand what subjects they should be focusing on and the steps required to gain a Commercial Pilot Licence. ![]()
Thank you to SFC for showcasing a career pathway into Aviation. They have committed to having 25% female pilots by 2025. Perhaps we may see an ex-Leo’s student there in the not-too-distant future!
