Families come Together for Fun Day at Holy Spirit

I played with my friend Isla and we played bowling. We also competed in the jumping race. I fell down twice but I had a great time. - Izaiah (KR)

On Thursday the Holy Spirit community joined together to celebrate our Feast Day, commencing with Pentecost Mass at 12 noon.

This was followed by a picnic lunch and a range of family activities with all parents and extended family members who could join us. Thank you to all the teachers who worked to organise this day, especially Mr Mackey, as well as to all our parents and family members who were able to take this opportunity to join their children. The sense of community visibly present on Thursday was amazing!

Last Friday, Year 3 participated in the World of Maths incursion, exploring 17 engaging, hands-on activities designed to build and apply a wide range of mathematical skills. Students worked both collaboratively and independently to solve problems, think critically, and use strategies involving number, measurement, patterns, and reasoning. It was fantastic to see students making real-world connections and discovering that maths can be both fun and meaningful!

Yesterday, Year 4 attended the “Freaky Forces” science incursion in the MPA and enjoyed a hands-on exploration of forces. Students investigated how friction affects movement, how centre of gravity impacts balance, and why objects behave the way they do. A highlight was the balloon experiment—standing on balloons without popping them—showing how spreading force over a larger area prevents breakage. A fun and engaging way to bring science to life!
