McCarthy Students’ War of the Weeds McCarthy Catholic College, Emu Plains is uniquely situated on the banks of the Nepean River, which offers the College a tremendous opportunity, indeed responsibility, to educate our youth on land care issues.

Federal Member for Lindsay, David Bradbury braved the wet weather in February to meet students from McCarthy Catholic College and Bass Sydney Fishing Club members who are currently undertaking the rehabilitation of around 1 hectare of land along the Nepean River, at Emu Heights. This project was made possible by a $6,420 Community Action grant, under the Gillard Government’s Caring for our Country initiative.
