On Friday, 23 November, we held our Holy Spirit Fiesta Fundraiser. Despite the high winds and relatively cool weather, everyone who was here on the day reported having a great day.
We would like to thank our Year 4 and Year 6 committee members, who worked tirelessly, approaching various sporting and other organisations to ask for donations of time to run an activity, or donations that could be used for our raffle. It was their efforts that enabled us to have such a diverse range of activities on the day - ranging from karate to music to football ... and so much more.
Our key supporters on the day were:
- NRL - Penrith Panthers and Parramatta Eels
- AFL - GWS Giants
- Soccer - Nepean FA
- Cricket - Sydney Thunder
- Karate - GKR
- Boot Camp - F45
- Music - Mr Green
- Netball - Mrs Viera
- Dance - Mrs Barros.
Our children were so excited and engaged in their new learning on the day. Here are some comments from some of our Year 1 students, who have been learning about powerful words in English.
I felt delighted and empowered because I got to try new things. I had the best day with my class and I hope we can do it again soon. - By Freya
I felt elated because I got to do lots of fun activities. - By Maddison T
I was excited and happy because there were lots of fun activities. - By Mia
It was an amazing day because there was so much to do. I felt empowered because I got to do things that I had never done before. - By Sehajroop
Our Year 5 students also had a wonderful day, based on their recounts:
The day was amazing and everyone loved it. I would love for this to happen again and to top it off we had an amazing assembly. The day was perfectly planned and turned out awesome. Thank you for all who helped and for all who participated as it was one of the best days of my life. - By Aleks
I think this was the best fun day in 2018 ever. But the whole purpose of this was to raise money. Every child was given a sponsor card to take home and for every $5 they raised they received one raffle ticket. Then all the names were put into a box and drawn out for prizes. - By Jasmine
We would also like to thank all our supporters, who donated time, energy and a huge range of amazing raffle prizes. Without your support this day would not have been possible. With your support we have raised over $10 000 to put towards technology. Our children are still busily collecting money from their sponsors in order to have the best possible chance of winning one of the many prizes our very generous supporters have donated. Our raffle will be drawn this week.

A huge thank you to all our families and community members who joined us today to to celebrate Catholic Schools Week . It was heart-warming to see our playground and classrooms filled with so many smiling faces. Our students were so proud to share their learning, their faith, and our beautiful school spirit with you all. This week is a special time to celebrate the unique community weโve built together. The celebrations don't stop here! We have more activities planned and look forward to seeing even more parents and families visiting us across the rest of the week. Thank you for being the heart of our school.

Yesterday we loved welcoming our parents into our classroom for the first day of Catholic Schools Week. Year 3 students combined Technology, Science, and drawing as part of our Living Things unit by researching an animal and adding facts around their detailed sketches. It was wonderful to see everyone so engaged and proudly sharing their learning with their families.

Our amazing Year 1 students have been busy leveling up their addition skills this week! Weโve moved beyond counting everything from one. Now, our little mathematicians are mastering the "Counting On" strategy. Instead of starting at the beginning, they learn to identify the biggest number, lock it in their brains, and then count on the second collection to find the total. ๐ง โจ

Yesterday our Year 4 students attended their first Grade Parish Mass for 2026, beautifully celebrated by Father Saju. During the Mass, Father Saju reflected on the Gospel of Matthew, reminding us that our relationship with God is closely connected to how we relate to others. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who were able to join us in prayer and support our students.

In Maths, our Year 5 students have been taking their learning beyond the classroom to focus on the practical application of measurement. ๐ Their mission was to select the most effective tool to measure different parts of our playground. Students had to choose between a 30cm ruler, a trundle wheel, a metre ruler, and a measuring tape and then justify exactly why that tool was the right one for the job! Despite the rain, ๐ง๏ธ they had a fantastic time putting their skills to the test in the great outdoors.

The students in year 6 have been working hard during writing. โ๏ธ They are learning how to write an imaginative text that clearly communicates their ideas by weaving together simple, compound, and complex sentences to create a sophisticated narrative rhythm. By integrating adjectival phrases to define nouns and detailed adverbial phrases to explain precisely when, where, or how actions unfold, they paint vivid pictures for their audience. These young authors use precise vocabulary to capture the reader's imagination, always finishing their process by rereading and editing their work to ensure clear cohesion. Well done Year 6!
