They visited ISRA (Islamic Sciences and Research Academy) to deepen their understanding of HSC content relating to significant practice, significant person, and ethical teachings within Islam. Students then travelled to the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque to observe prayer in support of their studies. #bedepoldingcollege #cspd #SouthWindsor #blighpark

HISTORY MADE IN SPAIN! ALEXSA – DOUBLE WORLD CHAMPION Alexsa has achieved something truly incredible at the 2025 FIG Trampoline Gymnastics Junior World Championships in Pamplona, Spain, winning two gold medals in her first year in this age group at just 15 years old. To call this result unexpected is an understatement. Her world-class journey so far: 2022 (Bulgaria) – World Tumbling Champion at age 12 2023 (UK) – World Tumbling Champion at age 13 2023 – Junior DMT Champion 2025 (Spain) – Back-to-back DMT gold + Tumbling gold The first female ever to achieve this double in her category. What makes this even more remarkable is that just 8 weeks ago, Alexsa suffered an ankle injury and missed the final selection event in QLD, it was uncertain whether she would even make it to Worlds. But she pushed through with determination and heart. We could not be prouder, she proved to the world that anything is possible with passion, commitment, and the right team behind you. #SouthWindsor #bedepoldingcollege #blighpark #cspd

Recently we welcomed Olivia Jones from local business Agriwest! Olivia, a former BPC Agriculture student from the Class of 2019, is now working in agricultural business and agronomy after completing her studies at CSU Wagga. During her visit, Olivia carried out soil sampling to help us boost the productivity of an underperforming area in our ag plot. While on site, she also reunited with an old friend, Neil the Merino! Back in 2019, Olivia cared for Neil at home when he arrived at BPC as an orphan lamb. Their reunion was a heartwarming throwback filled with familiar faces and fond memories. #bedepoldingcollege #blighpark #cspd #SouthWindsor
