Gymnastics Fever Hits Holy Spirit
This term children from Holy Spirit have been involved in a gymnastics program run by the amazing DanceFever Multisport group, which has been partly subsidised by a Sporting Schools grant received by the school. Sporting Schools brings together schools and sports to help get Aussie children active in their local communities.
Each Tuesday a team of dynamic young trainers bring a wide variety of equipment to our school. They set up in our Cola and MPA and then proceed to run 7 sessions of gymnastics! The children are working on skills of jumping and landing, balance, rotation, locomotion and object manipulation and are absolutely loving the program!

Happy Feast Day to our Holy Spirit community! ❤️🕊️ Today, we gathered together as a parish community to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. Thank you to all staff, students and families who attended the Mass and shared in this special celebration of the Holy Spirit. A special thank you to our Stage 3 students who reverently performed the liturgical movement during Mass. It was wonderful to see so many families gathered on the school grounds afterwards, enjoying food, conversation, entertainment, and time together as a community. It was also fantastic to see some of our ex-students leading a Holy Spirit performance alongside some of our younger students — a beautiful reminder of the strong spirit and connection within our community. Thank you to everyone who helped make today such a joyful and memorable celebration. 🕊️❤️

This term our students enjoyed an exciting and engaging World of Maths Incursion! Through hands-on activities and collaborative challenges, students explored how Maths is used in everyday life and discovered that Maths really is everywhere. Working in small teams, students communicated their ideas, solved problems together, and explored a variety of mathematical strands linked to their learning this term. It was wonderful to see students thinking critically, persevering through challenges, and most importantly, having fun while learning! A huge thank you to World of Maths for providing such an interactive and enjoyable experience for our students.

This week Jarara visited Holy Spirit and some of our students participated in a yarning circle — a respectful cultural discussion where everyone had the opportunity to listen, learn, share, and connect. The experience provided valuable opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of Aboriginal culture, storytelling, and the importance of community and respectful conversation. Students engaged thoughtfully and showed great curiosity and respect throughout the session. We sincerely thank Jarara for sharing their time, knowledge, and experiences.🖤💛❤️

They are also learning to use adjectives and adjectival phrases to make their writing more detailed and engaging for the reader. Check out this week's parent newsletter to read some of our great writing.

On Friday our Year 2 classroom turned into a tectonic workshop this week as we tackled the messy, wonderful world of volcanoes! Taking inspiration from the earth’s natural wonders, our young geologists got stuck into the clay to build some truly explosive masterpieces. Watching the kids dive into their clay techniques was the best part of the day. They’ve been busy pinching and pulling the clay into steep summits and using slab building to create those wide, sturdy bases. There was plenty of ""magic glue"" involved too, as they practiced scoring and slipping to keep their structures strong. Once the clay was set, the real magic happened—the children used vibrant paints to decorate their creations, splashing on fiery reds, glowing oranges, and smoky blacks to bring their rumbling mountains to life! We are so impressed with the focus and creativity Year 2 showed—they’ve officially turned a bit of earth into something spectacular. Check out our actions shots from the day here -
