📷 2025 CSPD ALCHEMY PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION 📷 A big congratulations to our Year 10 student, Patrick, who recently entered and was selected as a finalist in the CSPD Alchemy Photography Competition, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot!" His photograph, titled Cabramatta Lion Dancers, was taken on 15 February 2025 at Freedom Plaza in Cabramatta, capturing a line of Lion Dancers dancing past the front gate. Patrick shared, “I enjoy photography because it allows you to romanticise certain places and things, and save the beautiful, fleeting moments life throws at you.” The Alchemy Photography Competition celebrates the creative vision of students across the Diocese of Parramatta, showcasing diverse perspectives and artistic expression. Congratulations to Patrick on this well-deserved recognition! Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
