Congratulations to our Voice of Youth finalists who spoke about issues such as bushfires and conversation. Meanwhile the school trialed the new religious education curriculum in Year 1.
This year Holy Spirit had a number of Voice of Youth finalists who presented their speeches to our school panel this week. Alisha, Angelina, Angus, Chelsy, Dania, Geovinia, Lissa, Nicole, Saadet & Samuel did an outstanding job in presenting their speeches, demonstrating their ability to inform, entertain and persuade their audience. The delivery of each speech was impressive, with children using a variety of gestures, face movements, tone, expression and eye contact when presenting. This resulted in speeches that were presented confidently and which engaged and maintained the attention of their audience.
Congratulations to our first place winners abut especially to Chelsy (1st place) and Nicole (runner up). Chelsy's speech was about the impact of bushfires, while Nicole presented a speech on conversation.
Year 1's New RE Curriculum
Students sit in a circle and pass a ball of wool to each other. They recall a time when they or someone else was a peacemaker.This helps to create a "web of connection" between the students.
Year 1 students created posters and used these to help them share their understanding of what it means to be a peacemaker in our world. The children in Year 1 demonstrate clarity when explaining how they use their head, heart and hands to be peacemakers.

Our Year 3 students had an exciting time during the โMad About Science โ Living Thingsโ incursion last Friday. ๐ฌ๐งช During the session, they became young scientists, taking part in engaging, hands-on investigations. Students explored the differences between living and non-living things, examined a range of fascinating specimens, planted their own seeds and discovered how scientists classify and group living things. This engaging experience supported our science learning while sparking curiosity, discovery, and a growing love of science. What a fantastic learning experience! ๐ฑ For more photos see https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E2JoFg6UuW3sJ_YHrTVnHyiLqtGuRewH?usp=drive_link

Check out those smiles! Our little athletes are definitely bringing the energy to the playground. #Year1 #Zing #ActiveKids #NSWPrimarySchools #HealthyKids"

Year 6 have been learning to use mono-printing techniques to create a unique artwork that explores the "likeness" of an object through light ๐ and shadow. ๐ They are experimenting with the use of ink to create their artworks. Students then experimented with stencil printmaking. Some created their own stencils while others used commercial stencils. They used sponges or paintbrushes to apply the paint using the stipple technique. They are enjoying learning new skills to create artworks.

๐ก Year 4 Persuasive Writing in Action! โ๏ธ Our Year 4 students have been learning how to use precise vocabulary to persuade and engage their audience. As part of their persuasive writing unit, students stepped into the role of real estate agents and created texts to โsellโ homes using descriptive and powerful language. It was wonderful to see their creativity shine as they described spacious living areas, breathtaking views, and beautifully designed homes. Well done, Year 4, for using your words so effectively to persuade and inform! ๐๐

This week, our Year 3 students continued work on persuasive texts. For this task, students focused on the opinion: "Year 3 should be allowed to go on an excursion EVERY term". Students sorted reasons that connected to different arguments and justified their thinking. There was lots of rich discussion, collaboration and sharing of ideas as they explained their choices. ๐๐ฌ

Today our Year 5 students attended Parish Mass, celebrated by Father Peter. During the Mass, Father Peter reflected on the Gospel of Matthew, reminding us that God is merciful and ready to forgive. We were encouraged to always be ready to forgive those who hurt us. ๐ He quoted the gospel stating we must forgive one another 'not 7 times but 77 times'. Thank you to all of the families who were able to join us in prayer at mass today. ๐
