In Maths, Year 2 has been learning about 2D shapes 📐. We explored the language of quarter-turns, half-turns and full-turns 🔄. We used the Beebots 🐝 to strengthen our understanding of the language and compared it to the clock ⏰ to discuss clockwise and anticlockwise. Check out our Year 2 mathematicians hard at work!

Year 1 students have been making their own promises as they begin to explore the meaning of a covenant—a special promise between God and His people. Through their promises, students are learning that covenants are about love, trust and keeping our promises to one another. 💛

Year 5 have been exploring the world of data! 📊 They have been interpreting a range of graphs and writing statements about what they noticed, before collecting their own real-time data by tracking how often they contributed to class discussions. 💬 They will then use their data to create their own graphs and represent their findings visually! 📈📊

❄ Vinnies Winter Sleepout – Faith in Action ❄
Our students took part in a meaningful evening of prayer, meditation, learning and service as part of our Vinnies Winter Sleepout.

Using David’s story and reflected on how quickly and unexpectedly people in our community can be one crisis away from homelessness.
Students shared a simple meal of soup, a bread roll, fruit and water, before gathering in our Holy Family Prayer Garden for a Liturgy of the Word, where they led us beautifully in prayer and song.
We finished the evening with a team-building challenge, constructing our own shelters. While this was a fun experience for us, it carried an important message, for many people, finding a safe place to sleep is not a game or a choice. It helped our students finish the night with a deeper sense of gratitude, compassion and responsibility to care for others.

Through our Faith in Action initiatives, our Holy Family community has raised $1,277 so far to support the vision and mission of the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW and the important work they do supporting people experiencing hardship and homelessness.

Thank you to our students, families and staff for continuing to put our faith into action.💙 Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Vinnies Australia

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Mary is being taken body and soul into heaven.

The Assumption reminds us that Mary’s life was a perfect “yes” to God, and because of that, she was drawn fully into His glory body and soul. It is a feast of hope.

Her Assumption is not only a moment of triumph; it is a promise. A promise that holiness is not wasted, that love is not forgotten, and that every faithful “yes” is gathered into eternity.
