McCarthy Catholic College was established in 1986 as a Catholic Senior co-educational High School, and soon developed a formidable academic reputation.  Restructuring from 1999 saw our College subsequently develop into a dynamic 7-12 school and our current enrolments sit at approximately 900 students.

Science and Engineering Challenge UWS
Monday 29th June

On Monday 29th June 24 Year 10 students from 10 RED Homeroom competed in the Science and Engineering Challenge at the University of Western Sydney in cooperation with the the University of Newcastle.

This initiative is supported by the Australian Government through The Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research and sponsored by the Australian Constructors Association.

The Challenge was a set of fun and competitive activities involving principles of science, engineering and technology. The concept was to immediately engage students in the activity with a minimum of introduction and theory. Students explored scientific principles for themselves rather than being guided to a predetermined answer. The activities included:

Job Juggle, The Dish, Crypto Cracking Cronies, Back to the Future, Confounding Communications, ElectraCITY, Eco-Habitech and Gold Fever

McCarthy won this challenge against 5 other schools, including Penrith High, and are now going to the State Super Challenge at Macquarie University at the end of July. Many thanks to teachers; Mr Ross Cutts and Mrs Jill Harrington, for supporting our budding scientists and engineers.
