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 littlest learners in Kindergarten have been working incredibly hard this week! We've been practicing our letter writing skills and, most importantly, learning how to use those handy little words called conjunctions! Conjunctions help us to join our ideas, making our sentences longer and more descriptive. The Kindy students wrote beautiful, thoughtful letters to our Principal, Mrs Garzaniti, all about our school experiences.

Cube Counters and Capacity Experts! ๐ Our investigation into volume and capacity is going brilliantly! Year 2 students are using cubes to measure the internal volume of containers and water to measure capacity. We learned the difference between how much space something takes up (volume) and how much something holds (capacity)! Great work measuring, everyone! #MathsIsFun #Year2Curriculum #MeasuringSkills #CapacityExperts

Today, our school community gathered for a solemn Remembrance Day Service to pause, reflect, and honour the courageous men and women who served and sacrificed for our freedom. ๐น The service included prayers, the laying of poppies, and a moment of silence at 11:00 AM to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. We focused on the values of courage, peace, and service, which resonate deeply with our Catholic faith. It is vital that our students understand the significance of this day and the enduring call to work toward peace in our world. Thank you to our students and staff for their respectful participation. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Mr Ashley, Mrs Ritter and Jasmine for sharing with our school community their military artefacts which made our service all the more memorable. ๐ Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #HolySpirit #CatholicEducation #ServiceAndSacrifice #WeRememberThem

We were thrilled to see our Year 3 and 4 students commence their 4-week Cricket Program yesterday! The energy was fantastic as they jumped straight into the fundamentals. For the first session, the focus was all on developing essential skills: mastering both underarm and overarm throwing techniques, as well as crucial catching practice. They showed great enthusiasm and sportsmanship! It's going to be a brilliant few weeks of skill development and fun in the sun. ๐ธ Make sure you check the attached album for lots more shots of today's cricket action! ๐ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lxu8p_SrSppgnKcls8Ebm8xf15qu4abr?usp=drive_link

๐ HUGE Congratulations to Rich Starwin! ๐ What a sensational performance! The whole Holy Spirit community is absolutely bursting with pride for our very own Rich Starwin, who has just bowled us over with his incredible achievement: making the Parramatta Team for cricket! ๐ฅณ Rich Starwin faced some seriously tough competition and absolutely smashed it out of the park during the trials. Making a representative team like this is a massive milestone and a testament to his dedication, skill, and hours spent in the nets and on the pitch. We know he'll be an absolute all-rounder and a key player for Parramatta. This is a huge moment, and we can't wait to follow Rich's journey as he takes the crease with his new squad. Go get 'em, Rich! We're all cheering for you! ๐
