On Thursday 21 May 2015, Holy Spirit Primary School celebrated the Feast of Pentecost with a whole school mass.
Pentecost is celebrated on the 50th day after Easter and commemorates the birth of the church when the Holy Spirit came down on the disciples gifting them with courage, power and zeal to spread the Good News that Jesus had risen from the dead and is alive!
Songs, such as “Sing to the Lord with Shouts of Joy” and “Holy Spirit Rock” were performed during the mass by the school choir and coupled with the participation of those assembled further added to the celebration of the school and parish feast day.
The whole school community participated in this prayerful celebration led by Father Jepser, with many students taking part in readings, the Gospel and Offertory processions and concluding with a liturgical movement focusing symbolically on the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit Parish will celebrate the Feast of Pentecost on the weekend of 23rd & 24th May 2015 at Holy Spirit Church.

Our Year 2 friends have been exploring mass in fun and hands-on ways! Students have been learning to predict, heft (using hands), and then weigh objects using balance scales to check their thinking. They have been comparing which objects are heavier or lighter, ordering items from lightest to heaviest, and even finding different objects that have the same mass. Itโs been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they investigate and explain their ideas!

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 โ 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.๐ค๐โค๏ธ
