Andrew Chinn- On Monday, our school had the wonderful opportunity to take part in a workshop and concert led by renowned Catholic singer-songwriter Andrew Chinn. In the lead-up to the concert, students across all year levels learned and practised a selection of Andrew’s songs, each year level contributing a special performance. The workshop and concert were joyful, faith-filled experiences that encouraged student participation, celebrated our school values, and brought our community together through music and worship. A big thank you to all students and parents for their attedance and enthusiasm, it made the day truly memorable!
Feast of St Mary MacKillop Liturgy- Today, our Reception to Year 2 classes came together for a beautiful liturgy in honour of the Feast Day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. The liturgy was a special celebration led by both 1ST and 1PN, who prayerfully reflected on the life and legacy of Mary MacKillop- Australia’s first saint and a woman of great faith, courage, and compassion. We were blessed to have a guest speaker, Sr Mary-Ann Casanova from the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart, who spoke to the students about the inspiring life and mission of Mary MacKillop. Sr Mary-Ann also shared her passion for caring for creation, connecting Mary’s legacy with our responsibility to look after the Earth. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who attended and supported their children in preparing for this special celebration.
Library- Each Friday, we visit the library for a special time of reading and exploration. During this session, students have the opportunity to borrow a mix of leveled readers and picture books to take home and enjoy. They can choose to read independently or share books with their peers during this quiet reading time. We also gather together as a class to enjoy a selected story by the librarian read aloud by their teacher. This shared reading experience allows us to reflect on the book, ask questions, and have thoughtful discussions that help build a love of reading and deeper comprehension skills. Thank you for supporting your child’s reading journey by encouraging them to return and borrow books each week!
Technologies- For technologies this week, the students created their boats to hold the Gingerbread man afloat for 1 minutes. We will be testing and evaluating our boats next week.
