👵👴 We may have aged 100 years overnight! 😄

Our Kindergarten students celebrated 100 days of school by dressing as 100-year-olds, and they certainly looked the part!

While they may have looked 100 today, they're only 100 days into an amazing journey of learning, friendship and growing in God's love. We can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings! 💙✨

👵👴 100 days of learning called for 100 years of style!

Today our Kindergarten students celebrated 100 days of school by dressing up as 100-year-olds, and they certainly embraced the fun! From grey hair and glasses to walking sticks and cardigans, there were plenty of smiles and laughs as we marked this special milestone.

We are so proud of how much our Kindergarten students have grown in confidence, learning and in God's love over their first 100 days at school. We can't wait to see all they continue to achieve throughout the rest of the year! 💙✨ Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

⚽💚💛 Future Socceroos in the making!

Kindergarten had a fantastic time stepping into the boots of the Socceroos, giving it their best shot and dreaming big! From their stadium walk-on to showing off their soccer skills, our youngest students embraced the challenge with confidence, teamwork and plenty of Aussie spirit.

Who knows? We might just have the next generation of Socceroos right here at St Finbar's! 🇦🇺⚽

Our students recently had the wonderful opportunity to attend the St Vincent de Paul Encounter Day at St John Paul II Catholic College, Schofields.

Facilitated by St Vincent de Paul, the day provided students with a deeper understanding of the history and mission of the organisation, how it began, and the important role of Conference members in supporting people experiencing hardship. Students also explored the realities of homelessness, including the different forms it can take, current statistics, and practical ways individuals and communities can make a positive difference.

The day was both inspiring and thought-provoking. Our students returned feeling energised and motivated to continue promoting Faith in Action within our school community, putting their faith into practice through service, compassion, and advocacy for those most in need.

⚽💚💛 Socceroos fever hit St Finbar's on Friday!

Our students embraced the excitement, proudly showing their green and gold spirit as they cheered on the Socceroos. There was plenty of energy, enthusiasm and smiles across the school, with everyone getting into the Aussie spirit.

A special highlight was Kindergarten, who created their very own stadium experience, complete with player entries and match tickets! What a fantastic way to celebrate together and make learning fun. 🇦🇺⚽

Congratulations to our Principal's Award recipients! 🌟

We proudly celebrated our Principal's Award recipients, recognising students who consistently live out our school Charisms and embrace every opportunity to learn and grow. Through kindness, respect, compassion and perseverance, they inspired those around them each day.

These students demonstrated that a growth mindset is about believing in themselves, learning from challenges, and striving to be the best version of who they can be. We are incredibly proud of the positive example they set within our St Finbar's community.

🏃‍♂️💬 What do our students think about RAD Run Club?

We caught up with some of our runners, walkers, skippers and dancers to hear all about their favourite parts of RAD Run Club! From building fitness and friendships to having fun before the bell, it's clear that our students are loving this energetic start to the day.

Check out what they had to say! 🌟
