During Catholic Schools Week we held a Book Fair. Book Fair is a fun activity that encourages kids to read, through a series of fun parades, dressing up, class items and purchasing books.
Jessica White, a Year 2 student, said that her favourite part of Book Fair was that everyone got to do a special item. "There were a lot of different performances. Some told stories, some sang songs and others poems or dances."
Like other events at Holy Spirit, the school spirit was wonderful to see. "I enjoyed that I got to watch everyone give them support" added Jessica.
We also interviewed the Religious Co-Ordinator and Librarian, Mrs Alexander. "We have a Book Fair here at Holy Spirit to encourage children to read and to give them the opportunity to have their very own books if they can and just to enjoy literature.”
Mrs Alexander added that the profit made from the sale of books during Book Fair is spent on purchasing more books for our school. “We are going to use the profit this year at a specialist bookshop to buy particular texts that we need for our library and for our school.” Her favourite part of Book Fair is "Just to see how enthusiastic kids are about picking up a book."

Students in Year 3 are learning to recognise that artists create art for a variety of reasons and that artworks can be interpreted in multiple ways. Using photography and the Canva website, students used iPads or Chromebooks to take photos of a classroom object, upload their images into a Canva drawing template, and create a repeating pattern featuring at least four repetitions of their chosen object.

π Year 6 Formation Day β A Journey of Hope and Light π Today our Year 6 students took part in a reflective and meaningful Formation Day as they prepare to graduate from Holy Spirit and step confidently into their high school journey. The day was filled with prayer, reflection, creativity and connection, led by our parish priests, REC and Y6 teaching team. Students participated in our parish Mass, walked the Labyrinth as a quiet practice of releasing worries and receiving Godβs peace, and explored Scripture with the message βYou are the light of the worldβ (Matthew 5:14β16). They also used Biblical Micrography to reflect on how they can shine their gifts generously for others,. We are incredibly proud of the maturity, reverence and honesty shown throughout the day. May our Year 6 students continue to walk forward with courage, gratitude and hope. β¨π

π Under the Sea Adventure in the Imaginarium! π This week, kindy students took a very dramatic trip in our class Imaginarium! π We climbed aboard a pretend submarine, suited up in tight wet suits and big flippers, and plunged into the deep blue ocean for a scuba diving adventure! πββοΈ We met some amazing creatures down thereβeven running into a slippery sea snake and a massive shark (which we scared off by becoming sharks ourselves!). We ended the trip watching a graceful whale before swimming back to class. It was a fantastic lesson filled with imagination, drama, and lots of movement! Ask your child what their favourite part of the ocean adventure was! π (#PrimaryDrama #Imaginarium #OceanAdventure #CreativeLearning #NSWPrimary)

Students have been using directions to create a range of tracks for the Bee-Bot. They then developed a navigational algorithm by applying mathematical knowledge of grid coordinates and precise movements (distance and direction). The final goal was to test and refine their code and course design, ensuring the robot successfully completed the programmed route and measured the distance traveled.
