School String Ensemble
On Friday 14th March pupils at Holy Spirit Primary School celebrated Catholic Schools Week with a number of events.
The morning was spent buying books at the Book Fair and taking part in the school spell-a-thon. The money raised via sponsorship from family and friends will be used to fund different projects in the school.
After the spell-a-thon the children gathered in the Church to celebrate the Opening School Mass. It was a wonderful occasion shared with many family and friends. All the children participated with great enthusiasm and reverence. The school string ensemble made the event even more special by preforming Pachelbel’s Cannon at the Mass.
After Mass, the parents were served morning tea and then ushered into the MPA to see the students preform a variety of items. There were songs and poems presented each met with great applause from all those present. Parents were then invited to tour the classrooms and participate in an activity with their children.
The day was a great success and an excellent way to show parents and allow students to share what they are learning and doing at school.

Our beautiful Year 2 students have been reflecting on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus by learning from the example of Mary. Through our discussions, students explored how Mary showed trust, courage, kindness, and faith in Godβs plan. Inspired by Mary, we have been thinking about how we can care for our neighbours and help those in need in our everyday lives. Students shared thoughtful ideas about showing kindness, helping others, including everyone, and making positive choices at school and at home. By following Maryβs example, our amazing students are learning that being a disciple means saying βyesβ to God, helping others, and living with love and compassion. We are very proud of the way they are growing as caring and faith-filled members of our community.

Year 6 Parish Mass βοΈ Today, our Year 6 students reverently attended Parish Mass, celebrated by Father Dave. The Gospel reading from Matthew 8:1β4 reminded us of Jesus' compassion and mercy as He healed a man with leprosy. Through this powerful story, students reflected on the importance of showing kindness, acceptance and care for others, just as Jesus did. We are grateful to Father Dave for leading us in prayer and helping our students deepen their understanding of God's love and the call to treat every person with dignity and compassion. "Lord, help us to be kind, welcoming and compassionate to everyone we meet." ππ

Our Year 3 students have been exploring the mystery of the Holy Trinity β Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Through rich class discussions and learning activities, students developed their understanding of how the three Persons of the Trinity are united as one God. To deepen their learning, students participated in a directed drawing activity, creatively recreating a visual representation of the Holy Trinity. This hands-on experience allowed them to reflect on and express their understanding of this important belief in our Catholic faith. We are proud of the thoughtful reflections, creativity and engagement our students demonstrated as they explored this central mystery of our faith.

πβ¨ Tricky Words, Here We Come! β¨π Our Kindergarten superstars have been busy practising their tricky words through reading and writing! π These words don't always follow the usual phonics rules, so they take extra effort to learn. We are so proud of the persistence, confidence and enthusiasm our students are showing as they work towards becoming independent readers and writers. π

Our Year 2 mathematicians have been exploring 3D objects by exploring rectangular prisms through hands-on learning, creating their own models of cubes to deepen their understanding. As they built, students described their cubes using mathematical language such as faces, edges, and vertices, and recognised that the flat surfaces of these objects are 2D shapes. Itβs been wonderful to see students confidently applying their learning and explaining their thinking β check out their fantastic cube creations!

This week, our Year 5 students gathered as a faith community to celebrate Mass. Students learned about the courage and faithfulness of the prophet Elijah, whose trust in God inspired those around him. In the Gospel (Matthew 6:7 - 15), Jesus taught His disciples how to pray through the Lord's Prayer, reminding us to trust in our Heavenly Father and to show forgiveness to others. As we prayed together, students were encouraged to reflect on how they can follow Elijah's example of faith, deepen their relationship with God through prayer, and live out Jesus' call to forgive and love one another each day. May we continue to grow in faith, gratitude, and compassion as a community.
