On Friday Holy Spirit celebrated Father's Day with an early morning "Happy Father's Day" BBQ.
The dads had a great time, listening to country music, eating freshly made sausage sandwiches and drinking juice with their children. This was followed by socialising and some fun and games on the playground. The atmosphere was amazing!
After our delicious breakfast we moved into the MPA for our liturgy and assembly. During the beautiful liturgy, which was prepared by our wonderful Y1 and Y2 teachers and students, we prayed for and blessed all our fathers, as well as farewelling Sr Narelle, who is moving on to her new position in Dapto. We also had our assembly, with children receiving awards. It was fabulous to have our dads join us for this very special celebration of fathers as we know that they are often unable to join us for assemblies. During our assembly we also drew our raffle. We had some very excited children taking home extra special gifts for their dads.
Thank you to all the families who made a special effort to join us to celebrate Father's Day. Thank you also to all staff members who turned up bright and early to help prepare the food, particularly Mr Green and Mr Mackey, our master chefs for the occasion!

🏏 HUGE Congratulations to Rich Starwin! 💙 What a sensational performance! The whole Holy Spirit community is absolutely bursting with pride for our very own Rich Starwin, who has just bowled us over with his incredible achievement: making the Parramatta Team for cricket! 🥳 Rich Starwin faced some seriously tough competition and absolutely smashed it out of the park during the trials. Making a representative team like this is a massive milestone and a testament to his dedication, skill, and hours spent in the nets and on the pitch. We know he'll be an absolute all-rounder and a key player for Parramatta. This is a huge moment, and we can't wait to follow Rich's journey as he takes the crease with his new squad. Go get 'em, Rich! We're all cheering for you! 🎉

This week in Religion, Year 4 began our new unit titled “How Can Jesus Be God and Human?” ✝️ We’ve been taking a closer look at Jesus — discovering that He is both fully God and fully human. Using our RE Learning Board, students work together in groups and explored symbols that show Jesus’ human side (like the manger, tools, and family) and His divine side (like the empty tomb, water turned to wine, and the Transfiguration). Through thoughtful discussion and creative activities, students are deepening their understanding of who Jesus truly is — a wonderful mystery at the heart of our faith.
