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 1 explorers traded their desks for a day of discovery at the World of Maths excursion! 🧮✨ It wasn’t just about numbers—it was about solving puzzles, building towers, and seeing how math lives everywhere in the world around us. From hands-on challenges to teamwork triumphs, our little learners showed off some seriously impressive problem-solving skills. The best part? Seeing those ""Aha!"" moments when a tricky puzzle finally clicked! 💡 Check out some of the highlights from our day of counting, measuring, and (most importantly) having a blast! 📸👇 #WorldOfMaths #Year1Adventures #LearningThroughPlay #FutureMathematicians #SchoolExcursion #HandsOnLearning"

This term, our Year 6 students wiill be investigating how the properties of materials determine their use. Today’s challenge was to taking everyday items like metal clips, bottle tops, playdough, sponges, and wooden tiles and find a way to make them float. Working in teams, the students manipulated the materials before making their predictions. The students then tested their objects to determine whether or not they were able to float. It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning and scientific thinking! Well done, Year 6, on such a focused and engaging start to the term! 🌟

Yesterday, our Year 3 students attended Parish Mass, celebrated by Father Peter. During the Mass, Father Peter reflected on the Gospel of John and spoke to the students about the importance of coming together in faith and supporting one another as a community. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who joined us in prayer and supported our students. Your presence helped create a truly special and prayerful celebration.

Our Year 5 students have been diving deep into the Gospels this week exploring the powerful moment when Peter declares that Jesus is the Messiah. ✝️ Today they were inestigating the literal sense of the text. They worked hard to identify the who, where, when and what of the story, ensuring every answer was backed by proof. Students underlined direct evidence from the text to support their answers. 📝 It was wonderful to see such focussed engagement connected to their task.

Yesterday, our school community gathered under the Year 2 COLA for a moving Anzac Day service. It was a beautiful opportunity to come together in prayer and reflection to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our country. We are incredibly proud of our students, who demonstrated such reverence and respect throughout the commemoration. A special thank you to our Year 6 FIAT team for leading the ceremony with such grace and leadership. May the Anzac spirit of mateship and endurance continue to inspire us all. Lest We Forget. 🌹

☀️ Sun, Speed, and Spirit at the Holy Spirit Athletics Carnival! ☀️ What an incredible day we had under the sun! We kicked things off on our brand-new track with some fast-paced 800m runners setting the bar high early on. Once the buses rocked up, the real action ignited with some extremely close 100m heats that had everyone on the edge of their seats. The talent continued across the field with huge throws in discus and shot put, alongside some massive leaps in the long jump! The children’s cheers could be heard from miles away, and their incredible team spirit was evident in every single event. Of course, these days would not be possible without the unwavering support of our teachers and amazing parents. A special, heartfelt thank you goes out to the wonderful parent who supplied the entire school with an ice block—it was the perfect treat to beat the heat! 🍦 We are definitely setting a trend here, and there are big things to come for Holy Spirit athletics! 🏆 Please see our newsletter this weekend for full access to our photos. #HolySpiritAthletics #SchoolSpirit #AthleticsCarnival #CommunityLove #FutureChampions #TrackAndField

To begin Term 2, our Stage 3 students led us beautifully in an Easter Prayer Liturgy, guiding our community in reflecting on the joy and hope of Jesus’ Resurrection. In this season of Eastertide, we are reminded that Jesus is alive and present among us, calling us to live with faith, love, and compassion each day. Through thoughtful prayer and reflection, our students helped us recognise what the Resurrection means for us now. We thank our Stage 3 students for leading us in such a meaningful and prayerful celebration
