On 20th May, Louie Vassalo from Featherdale Wildlife Park came to our school to teach our Year 1 students about animal transportation.
Louie and his animals were a huge hit with our students.
His teaching supports and enhances the work we are doing in the classroom in HSIE, where students will be naming transport vehicles which could take an animal to a zoo in Japan and designing an enclosure to transport the animal safely.
We thank Louie for helping us provide engaging learning for our students.

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

π Year 4 is Factoring in the Fun! π Our amazing Year 4 students have been diving deep into fractions this week!

Our beautiful Year 2 students have been reflecting on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus by learning from the example of Mary. Through our discussions, students explored how Mary showed trust, courage, kindness, and faith in Godβs plan. Inspired by Mary, we have been thinking about how we can care for our neighbours and help those in need in our everyday lives. Students shared thoughtful ideas about showing kindness, helping others, including everyone, and making positive choices at school and at home. By following Maryβs example, our amazing students are learning that being a disciple means saying βyesβ to God, helping others, and living with love and compassion. We are very proud of the way they are growing as caring and faith-filled members of our community.

Year 6 Parish Mass βοΈ Today, our Year 6 students reverently attended Parish Mass, celebrated by Father Dave. The Gospel reading from Matthew 8:1β4 reminded us of Jesus' compassion and mercy as He healed a man with leprosy. Through this powerful story, students reflected on the importance of showing kindness, acceptance and care for others, just as Jesus did. We are grateful to Father Dave for leading us in prayer and helping our students deepen their understanding of God's love and the call to treat every person with dignity and compassion. "Lord, help us to be kind, welcoming and compassionate to everyone we meet." ππ

Our Year 3 students have been exploring the mystery of the Holy Trinity β Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Through rich class discussions and learning activities, students developed their understanding of how the three Persons of the Trinity are united as one God. To deepen their learning, students participated in a directed drawing activity, creatively recreating a visual representation of the Holy Trinity. This hands-on experience allowed them to reflect on and express their understanding of this important belief in our Catholic faith. We are proud of the thoughtful reflections, creativity and engagement our students demonstrated as they explored this central mystery of our faith.
