On Tuesday, 19 June, parents were invited to visit Holy Spirit for our grand Gymnastics Showcase.
Parents braved the terrible weather conditions to watch our spectacular performances.
This year we have, for the first time, engaged the services of Dance Fever to run our gymnastics program. Our wonderful, dynamic and engaging instructors from Dance Fever continued their great work with the children on Tuesday, having students demonstrate a range of skills, such as balancing, tumbling, etc.
Students were very excited to have the opportunity to demonstrate the range of gymnastics skills and movements they have learnt this semester to their parents.

Our Year 5 students had a wonderful day of learning and discovery at Barangaroo, exploring the deep connection between Aboriginal people, culture and Country. During our guided tour, students learnt about the significance of the land and how Aboriginal people have cared for and lived sustainably with Country for thousands of years. They discovered a range of native plant species and explored how different trees and plants were traditionally used for food, medicine, shelter and everyday life. The students also learnt about traditional tools and artefacts, gaining a greater appreciation of the knowledge, skills and resources used by Aboriginal communities and the importance of passing this knowledge from one generation to the next. Our final session brought together observation and creativity as students sketched the Sydney skyline, using the spectacular harbour and Barangaroo landscape as inspiration. And, of course, there was time to enjoy lunch and some well-deserved play, with the beautiful harbour as our backdrop! It was a fantastic day of learning beyond the classroom, connecting history, culture, nature and art in a truly memorable setting

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

🎨 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!
