Congratulations to our Voice of Youth finalists who spoke about issues such as bushfires and conversation. Meanwhile the school trialed the new religious education curriculum in Year 1.
This year Holy Spirit had a number of Voice of Youth finalists who presented their speeches to our school panel this week. Alisha, Angelina, Angus, Chelsy, Dania, Geovinia, Lissa, Nicole, Saadet & Samuel did an outstanding job in presenting their speeches, demonstrating their ability to inform, entertain and persuade their audience. The delivery of each speech was impressive, with children using a variety of gestures, face movements, tone, expression and eye contact when presenting. This resulted in speeches that were presented confidently and which engaged and maintained the attention of their audience.
Congratulations to our first place winners abut especially to Chelsy (1st place) and Nicole (runner up). Chelsy's speech was about the impact of bushfires, while Nicole presented a speech on conversation.
Year 1's New RE Curriculum
Students sit in a circle and pass a ball of wool to each other. They recall a time when they or someone else was a peacemaker.This helps to create a "web of connection" between the students.
Year 1 students created posters and used these to help them share their understanding of what it means to be a peacemaker in our world. The children in Year 1 demonstrate clarity when explaining how they use their head, heart and hands to be peacemakers.

Students in Year 3 are learning to recognise that artists create art for a variety of reasons and that artworks can be interpreted in multiple ways. Using photography and the Canva website, students used iPads or Chromebooks to take photos of a classroom object, upload their images into a Canva drawing template, and create a repeating pattern featuring at least four repetitions of their chosen object.

✨ Year 4 RoboKids Incursion 🤖✨ Our Year 4 students had an exciting and hands-on learning experience during our RoboKids Incursion! Students explored coding, robotics, and problem-solving through engaging challenges that encouraged teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they programmed their robots to move, react, and complete tasks. A big thank you to RoboKids for providing such an inspiring STEM experience for our students!

🌟 Year 6 Formation Day – A Journey of Hope and Light 🌟 Today our Year 6 students took part in a reflective and meaningful Formation Day as they prepare to graduate from Holy Spirit and step confidently into their high school journey. The day was filled with prayer, reflection, creativity and connection, led by our parish priests, REC and Y6 teaching team. Students participated in our parish Mass, walked the Labyrinth as a quiet practice of releasing worries and receiving God’s peace, and explored Scripture with the message “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14–16). They also used Biblical Micrography to reflect on how they can shine their gifts generously for others,. We are incredibly proud of the maturity, reverence and honesty shown throughout the day. May our Year 6 students continue to walk forward with courage, gratitude and hope. ✨💛

🌊 Under the Sea Adventure in the Imaginarium! 🐠 This week, kindy students took a very dramatic trip in our class Imaginarium! 🚀 We climbed aboard a pretend submarine, suited up in tight wet suits and big flippers, and plunged into the deep blue ocean for a scuba diving adventure! 🏊♀️ We met some amazing creatures down there—even running into a slippery sea snake and a massive shark (which we scared off by becoming sharks ourselves!). We ended the trip watching a graceful whale before swimming back to class. It was a fantastic lesson filled with imagination, drama, and lots of movement! Ask your child what their favourite part of the ocean adventure was! 👇 (#PrimaryDrama #Imaginarium #OceanAdventure #CreativeLearning #NSWPrimary)

In Health, Year 1 students explored how they could take responsibility for their own health, safety, and wellbeing, as well as that of others. They identified who influenced their decisions and actions to be healthy, safe, and physically active, and recalled people they could contact for support by creating their own personal support network.

Students have been using directions to create a range of tracks for the Bee-Bot. They then developed a navigational algorithm by applying mathematical knowledge of grid coordinates and precise movements (distance and direction). The final goal was to test and refine their code and course design, ensuring the robot successfully completed the programmed route and measured the distance traveled.

🧮✨ Exploring Geometry in Year 4! In Mathematics this week, our students took a deep dive into mapping skills. We learnt how to identify and mark locations on maps using grid references, and used directional language to describe routes around Gridville! 🗺️➡️ To put our skills into action, students even created their own towns by following specific coordinates. Such a fun and hands-on way to build spatial awareness and problem-solving skills! 🌟😊

Putting the 'Heft' into Hefty Learning! 💪📚 Year 2 is mastering the concept of mass! We started with the simple, sensory skill of hefting—using our sense of feel to compare objects and estimate which is heavier. Then, we moved on to the precision of scales to get exact measurements. We are learning that sometimes, things aren't always what they feel like! Which do you think is a heavier: an apple or a tennis ball? Let our Year 2 experts know! #Year2Learning #HandsOnMaths #ComparingMasses

Stew-pendous performance by our Year 2 stars ⭐️ They really brought the classic 'Wombat Stew' to life. No actual wombats were harmed (or eaten) in the making of this play!
