To enhance student learning in Geography this term, Year 1 went to Penrith Lakes. There they were shown wet and dry environments.
This day was a fun filled, hands on experience. Children were able to sort living things into categories, use microscopes to examine their features, dip net and identify things in each environment. After lunch children reflected on their learning and saw a puppet show.
As always Compass Bus Tours supplied a bus with seat belts and Tom the bus driver joined in all the fun and drove safely to the venue and school.
Miss Laura and Mr Tall (teachers at the Lakes) led the students on an enriching learning experience. They commented on our children’s great knowledge about environments and their good behaviour.
The Year 1 Teaching Team acknowledges the expertise of Compass and Penrith Lakes and we thank them for the wonderful learning our students experienced.

📚✨ Our Year 4 students are finishing the term with a creative writing adventure – fractured fairy tales! ✨📚 We’ve been revisiting what makes a fairy tale, and exploring how precise vocabulary – especially adjectival and adverbial phrases – can add richness and detail to a text. The students recently retold Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and now we can’t wait to see how they “fracture” the tale with their own imaginative twists!

🌟 Kindy Superstars in the Making! 🌟 We are bursting with pride for our amazing Kindergarten students who are doing such a fantastic job learning to read and write! They are not only recognising their tricky words but also learning to hear the vowel sounds in them. 📚✏️ It's incredible to see how clever they are, spotting the tricky digraphs they've learned within words. They love highlighting their tricky words when they find them in their writing—what a fantastic way to celebrate their learning! Keep up the brilliant work, Kindy! You are all shining so brightly! ✨ #KindyLearning #LiteracyJourney #TrickyWords #VowelSounds #NSWPrimarySchool #ProudTeachers #EarlyLiteracy

💙 Happy Father’s Day! 💙 A huge thank you to all the dads, stepdads, uncles, grandads, and father figures who joined us for our special Father’s Day Breakfast. It was such a joy to see so many families together celebrating! The children loved dressing up as their dads, and it was wonderful watching the fun continue in the playground as dads joined in the games with their kids. 🏀🤸 We also enjoyed visits to the classroom (even some of our staff members' dads came along). We are so grateful for the love, guidance, and example you share with our community each day. 💙

Our Year 1 students have been learning about the Sacraments like Baptism and belonging. We all belong to God’s family and He loves us deeply. ❤️ To make the learning come alive, the children worked in groups to create a freeze frame of Jesus’ baptism. 🙌 It was a wonderful way to explore belonging and the symbols and rituals of our faith. 🌟 #Year1Learning #CatholicEducation #Sacraments #BelongingToGodsFamily #Baptism
