Year 1 students have been studying natural, managed and constructed environments.
On Monday 14th September, Year 1 students and teachers visited St Clair Library to learn more about historical St Clair and its surrounding area.
The children were eager to share their knowledge that the library is a constructed environment with St Clair Librarian Mrs Barjinder Kaur who showed photos what St Clair looked like many years ago.
Year 1 would like to thank Mrs Kaur and Penrith City Council Library for allowing them to visit and experience the great facilities that St Clair Library has to offer.
Many children commented that they would like to return and borrow some of the wonderful books that were on display on the shelves in the library.

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

🌏 Staff Formation Day – Living Our Faith: Catholic Social Teaching in Action Prayer, reflection, and action shaped our Staff Formation Day. Through collaborative experiences—including discussion, creative tasks, jigsaw learning, photo analysis, poetry, and script writing—staff deepened their understanding of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) in action. These experiences invited staff to reflect on how the principles of CST—Human Dignity, the Common Good, Solidarity, the Preferential Option for the Poor, and Care for Creation—call them to live their faith authentically in their daily practice as educators. The day concluded with Mass, presided over by Father Percival, strengthening our Catholic identity and renewing our shared mission to serve with compassion, justice, and hope. 🙏 Faith in action begins with us. We look forward to welcoming our families back tomorrow for Term 2, continuing to grow together as a community shaped by faith, hope, and love..

It was a special moment for our school community as we begin the journey of Holy Week together and prepare our hearts for Easter. ✝️ Thank you to our wonderful Kindergarten students and teachers for sharing this joyful reminder of faith with us.

🌧️ Splashing Into Science at Featherdale! 🐾 Who says a little rain can’t be part of the adventure? Our Year 1 and Year 2 explorers proved that they are true "Habitat Heroes" during our trip to Featherdale Wildlife Park! Despite the drizzly weather, our junior zoologists were out in full force, investigating how living things eat, sleep, and play in their homes. From the soft fur of a kangaroo to the scaly skin of a lizard, the students didn't miss a beat (or a puddle!). Parents, we’ve captured some truly "wild" moments from the day. Please take a moment to scroll through the photos to see your little explorers in action! 🤳👇 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mtuHusT2zR-0_lQHerj63EBxAF44H2PS?usp=drive_link #FeatherdaleAdventures #Year1And2 #LivingThings #RainOrShine #FutureZoologists #SchoolExcursion
