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 students gathered for a special liturgy as part of their Religious Education unit “What is a Sacrament?” 💒 During the liturgy, each child received a candle as a reminder to let their light shine and share God’s love with others. 🕯️✨ Through prayer, song (we've added a video to this post) and reflection, the students showed great reverence as they celebrated God’s grace at work in the sacraments. We are so proud of our Year 2 students for their participation and faith-filled hearts. May they continue to shine brightly as signs of God’s love in our world. 🙏🌟

Get ready to be a little bit healthier, a little bit safer, and a whole lot smarter! 🤩 This week, kindy students had a fantastic time learning all about staying healthy with an incursion delivered by some amazing Aussie animal characters! 🐨🦘 Here's a snapshot of what we learned: Charlie the Cockatoo taught us the importance of a healthy breakfast to kickstart our day. 🥣 Platypus Perry showed us how to get a sparkling smile by brushing our teeth for two minutes, twice a day. ✨ Chunky the Koala taught us all about sun safety and why a hat and sunscreen are our best friends. ☀️ And we can't forget about staying hydrated! A Pelican reminded us to drink plenty of water. 💧 The kids had a wonderful time learning these valuable lessons! We hope they'll be practicing these healthy habits at home. #NSWschools #HealthyHabits #Incursion #PrimarySchool #AussieAnimals #KidsHealth #SunSafety #SmileSparkle ✨

📚✨ Our Year 4 students are finishing the term with a creative writing adventure – fractured fairy tales! ✨📚 We’ve been revisiting what makes a fairy tale, and exploring how precise vocabulary – especially adjectival and adverbial phrases – can add richness and detail to a text. The students recently retold Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and now we can’t wait to see how they “fracture” the tale with their own imaginative twists!
