Our Year 2 writers have been busy leveling up their work into Dazzling Descriptions this week! 🌟 The students are becoming grammar detectives, carefully selecting the best words to make their stories come to life. To help them see how their sentences are built, they have been color-coding two very important ingredients: 🔵 Nouns (Blue): Identifying the people, places, and things that their stories are all about. 🟣 Adjectives (Purple): Adding those all-important "sparkly" words to describe their nouns and make their writing pop! By focusing on these Dazzling Descriptions, our Year 2 stars are transforming simple ideas into vivid, detailed sentences. We are so impressed with the creative vocabulary being used in the classroom! #Year2 #DazzlingDescriptions #AdjectiveAdventure #NSWPrimary #YoungAuthors

In English, year 5 have been learning how to compose persuasive texts. Students are writing texts to try to convince their teachers that 'Students should choose their own seats in class'. 🪑 Some of their reasons include the fact that they will be happier students, they will be more focussed on their learning and it will also teach them responsibility. 😀 They are experimenting with the use of both modal and emotive language in their writing to clearly present their arguments in the hope their teachers will share their opinion. Well done year 5.

Our Year 4 students gently reflected on the beautiful theme of hope as they prayerfully wrote their Lenten promises. Like a butterfly emerging and growing, they considered how small, intentional changes can lead to transformation. With open hearts, they chose meaningful ways to grow closer to God, show kindness to others, and make loving choices each day — trusting that even small acts can help them blossom into the people God calls them to be.

Today our school community gathered in prayer to mark Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the sacred season of Lent. Through reverent liturgies and Mass, our students, families and staff came together to receive ashes — a visible sign of our faith and a reminder of our desire to turn our hearts back to God. May this Lenten journey draw us closer to Christ and to one another, as we walk forward together in faith and hope. ✝️

Our Year 6 students joined 20 other primary schools across the Diocese of Parramatta for a faith-filled Encounter Day at Penrith. Led by Mission Team, together with Catholic Youth Parramatta and Gen Bryant, students sang, danced and listened to stories reminding us we are made to make waves — one small act of goodness can create a ripple effect. Through prayer and soul journaling, they reflected on being like Jesus and recognising the dignity of every person. A beautiful day encouraging our Year 6 leaders to go out and make a difference! 💛
