Early Bird Reading will run on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from Week Two through to Week Eight. and be held at 8:30 in the MPA. Reading will stop at 8:45. Please encourage your children to be a part of this great program if they are at school by 8:30 on these days.

Yesterday Year 3 explored the wonderful world of matter! Students discovered that matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, and investigated its three main states: solids, liquids, and gases. They explored how heating and cooling can cause exciting changes like melting, freezing, evaporating, and condensing. Students saw these amazing transformations in action and learnt that they are all reversible. It was a fun, interactive, and educational experience! πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬βœ¨

Today, selected students from Year 5 accompanied Ms Pospsichil for the Catholic Mission launch of Socktober 2025 at St John XXIII School in Stanhope Gardens. They joined students from other schools across the diocese to learn about Zambia, our focus nation and the specific projects Catholic Mission is undertaking there. The launch concluded with the students celebrating Mass together. We look forward to fundraising next term to support those less fortunate than ourselves.

Our little Kindy students have been so curious and engaged this week! We've been exploring a very special question: ""Why do we go to Mass ?" They've been learning that Mass is a time to come together as a community, to listen to stories from the Bible, and to thank God for all the blessings in our lives. It's a special way we can show our love and gratitude! We're so proud of their thoughtful questions and wonderful insights. It's a joy to see their faith journey begin.
