Students at Early Bird Reading
The Early Bird Reading Program began for Term Two on Tuesday 6th May in the MPA.
Students in infants are given the opportunity to read with older students. This is of great benefit to all the students involved as they get to practise their reading and listening skills.
The readers are able to improve their fluency and the buddies show great care and leadership.
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.

🎨 Year 1 Art Adventure: 3D Art & Nature! 🌿 This week, our Year 1 artists explored 3D Art, Sculpture, and Photography, learning how 3D pieces are shaped to be viewed from all sides rather than staying flat on paper. We drew inspiration from First Nations artists like Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Yvonne Koolmatrie, and the Erub Arts collective, who weave and shape scavenged materials, sedge grass, and ghost nets into coolamons, woven animals, and marine life. We also looked at Andy Goldsworthy’s temporary nature sculptures captured through photography. Want to try a quick activity at home? Head into the garden with your child to gather leaves, twigs, and stones, build a 3D ground sculpture together, and snap a picture of their creation—feel free to share your photo in the comments below!

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.
