St Lawrence's Primary School

Carols on the Green:
The stage is set, the snags are cooking, the drinks are chilling, the gourmet grazing platters have been assembled and the raffles are ready to be drawn.
All starts at 5pm on the school oval. See you there.

What a generous community we are at St Lawrence’s for our annual Christmas Appeal.
Advent is a time of GIVING. Let us spread the love and joy of Christ this Christmas. Make dreams come true and give a little something.

Today it was L2's turn to present the Christmas Story at their Advent Prayer Service. Well done.

It was “All Things Christmas” at the Year 2 incursion today.

Thank you to the many parents who attended the L1 and L3 Advent Prayer Services today. The children performed and sang superbly. What a wonderful way to start our Advent season this coming Sunday.

Our Year 4 students had a terrific day at the Geraldton Tennis Club.

Today is World Children's Day, marking the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959, and the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The most widely ratified international human rights treaty in history, the Convention sets out the rights of children, such as the right to healthcare, education, clean water, protection from violence – and the right to have their say in decisions that affect them.

This World Children’s Day, UNICEF Australia invited children and young people to illustrate the change they’d like to see and draw, paint, sketch, colour or build their better world.

We encourage you to visit https://worldchildrensday.unicef.org.au/ to view submissions from children on how they would reimagine a better world.

Good luck to our 2 teams representing St Lawrence's (and the Midwest) in the Basketball Champions Cup today. The tournament is being held at Bendat Basketball Centre Perth.

STEM MAD Showcase Melbourne:
Some very proud parents and family members joined our 2022 STEM winners at the Catholic Leadership Centre in Melbourne today. Tingling Touches and Compassionate Coffin Creators showcased their award winning designs to other Catholic Schools from around Australia. Miss Knowles and Mr Tunchon were certainly impressed with the high standard of work that was presented. There were also plenty of other STEM activities happening throughout the day including using VR sets, Lego challenges and flying model planes. Thank you Nagle Catholic College for allowing your students to be St Lawrence’s students for a day. You should be very proud of them.
Well done Team St Lawrence’s.
