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.

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.🖤💛❤️

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 -
