At Delany, students are supported to discover their strengths and explore a variety of pathways for life beyond school, including programs such as Step Up Into Teaching (SUiT) at Australian Catholic University.
Through SUiT, Delany student Rania Marcos gained a clearer understanding of university study and what a career in teaching involves. She learned how universities operate and how teachers support different learning needs, helping her better understand what effective and supportive learning environments look like. Rania described the experience as “the best experience of my life so far,” highlighting the supportive and welcoming environment throughout the program. She also said the experience helped build her confidence and that she felt supported at every stage, choosing ACU because of its strong sense of community and positive learning environment. To learn more about the SUiT program or to explore Delany Catholic College, book a tour today and discover the Delany difference.

What happens before students even sit down can make a BIG difference to their learning. π At Emmaus Catholic College Kemps Creek, teachers are using structured entry routines to create calm, focused classrooms from the moment students arrive. With clear expectations and a learning activity ready to go, students are settling faster, staying focused and maximising valuable learning time. π As teacher Mark Leahy explains, "We don't have to focus on behavioural issues. We can start the learning straight away." It's a simple change that's helping students feel ready to learn from the very first minute of every lesson. π Head to the link in our bio to read the full story. @emmauscspd #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #entryroutines
