🎨✨ What an afternoon to remember at Holy Spirit Infants School Abermain! ✨🎨

Yesterday, our school was transformed into a vibrant gallery as we proudly hosted “Holy Spirit Masterpieces”—a stunning showcase of the incredible visual art created by our talented students and dedicated staff throughout Term 2.

From bold brushstrokes to intricate designs, every piece told a story and reflected the creativity, passion, and hard work that fills our classrooms every day. The artworks were inspired by various artists and explored a wide range of mediums including pixel art, collage, sculpture, painting, and animation—each one a unique expression of imagination and skill.

The atmosphere was electric — full of joy, laughter, and community spirit. It was more than just an art show; it was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the magic that happens when we come together.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed, attended, and supported this unforgettable event. We’d also like to thank the local businesses who generously donated raffle prizes! We are so proud of our creative community!

👏 Huge congratulations to Mrs Kate Kreutzer, who presented at the prestigious MANSW Annual Conference in Wollongong last week!
She shared her amazing work using the Launch, Explore, Summarise pedagogy and Numeracy Learning Progressions to support all learners in maths.
A proud moment for Holy Spirit Infants School, Abermain—well done, Mrs Kreutzer! 🌟🔢📚

On Wednesday, the Holy Spirit Infants community in Abermain gathered in love and gratitude to honour the incredible men in our lives—fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, and all father figures—with a heartfelt breakfast and liturgy.

🙏 Guided by the example of St Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, and inspired by God's unwavering love, we celebrated these men who nurture, protect, and guide us each day.

💙 Today, we wish them a blessed and joyful Father's Day. Thank you for all that you do—for your strength, your kindness, and your faith.

📚✨ Yesterday, Holy Spirit Infants Abermain brought stories to life with our annual Book Week Fair and Parade! It’s one of our favourite times of the year—celebrating the joy of reading and the power of literature in our lives. A huge thank you to Miss Covita, our incredible librarian, for her passion and dedication in making this event so special.
