Hennessy Catholic College Yearbook 2022

We will be expanding the CYSMA program to include both Years 9 and 10 in 2023 and are excited for students to have this opportunity to make Jesus real in their lives. In Term 3, Miss Buchanan’s Year 10 Religioious Education class embarked on an exciting journey with Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA). The Global Classrooms Project links young people from around the world to learn with and about each other, while exploring some of the world's most important issues. Our students were partnered with an all-boys secondary school from the Republic of Ireland, CBS Kilkenny, Ireland, to share their teenage experiences. Students exchanged video introductions, packages of iconic snacks and Australian music playlists. Students participated in two online discussion sessions sharing stories of life in Young and our unique community features. Other topics ranged from pandemic experiences, the importance of social justice, music and popular sports. Our students demonstrated their maturity, proved themselves to be great leaders and built positive connections with students from across the globe. We look forward to continuing this partnership in 2023, giving more students the opportunity to participate in this great program.
