💜 Bullying No Way Day at Holy Family 💜

Today, our Holy Family community proudly stood together to support Bullying No Way Day, with students and staff wearing purple to promote kindness, inclusion and respect for all.

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing support shown by our families through their generous gold coin donations to Caritas. Your contributions will help make a positive difference in the lives of others, while also reinforcing the important message that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued and respected.

Bullying No Way Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about bullying prevention and encourage positive relationships within our school community. It was wonderful to see so many students embracing the message and demonstrating what it means to live our motto of Strength and Gentleness.

Thank you to our families, students and staff for supporting this important initiative and helping make Holy Family a place where kindness shines brightly every day. 💜✨

We’re proud to be part of Holy Family School that values kindness and respect. This Bullying No Way Week, let’s come together to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels they belong.

💜 Bullying No Way Week at Holy Family 💜

Next Friday 21 August, our Holy Family community will unite to support Bullying No Way Week by wearing purple and bringing a gold coin donation.

Bullying No Way Week is Australia’s leading initiative for bullying prevention in schools. It provides an opportunity for schools to foster a shared understanding of bullying behaviours and highlight strategies for their prevention. By taking part, we encourage kindness, respect and inclusion, helping to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels they belong.

Purple represents acceptance, respect and standing together against bullying. By wearing purple, we are sending a strong message that bullying has no place in our community.

All gold coin donations will support Caritas, helping those in need both locally and around the world.

Together, let's live our Holy Family values of Strength and Gentleness by choosing kindness and ensuring every member of our community feels safe, valued and included.

Today, on Primary Principals Day, we celebrate and thank the wonderful leader of our Holy Family community, Mrs Theresa Redgwell.

Mrs Redgwell leads our school with dedication, kindness, faith and a genuine care for every student, staff member and family. Her passion for creating a nurturing environment where every child can thrive in Strength and Gentleness is evident in all that she does.

We are incredibly grateful for her leadership, support and commitment to making Holy Family such a special place to learn, grow and belong.

Thank you, Mrs Redgwell, for everything you do for our school community. We are so lucky to have you as our Principal! 🌟

Day 2 has been full of adventure, laughter and plenty of new experiences!
Our Year 4 students tested their aim during Archery, showed incredible courage on the Giant Swing and discovered the fascinating world of Bush Tucker, learning about traditional native foods and their significance.
After a busy day, everyone enjoyed dinner before putting their knowledge to the test at Trivia Night. There was plenty of teamwork, friendly competition and lots of laughs to finish off another fantastic day at camp.

First session live tonight!

Don't forget to join a series of 3 webinars for parents and carers with guest speaker and clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller. If you are a parent or carer of a Queensland school student, you won’t want to miss this series of free parent webinars, brought to you by the Queensland Joint Parent Committee.

Webinar 1: How to help your child develop Emotional IQ, Social Confidence and Sustainable Friendships.

These skills help to prevent most bullying. EIQ is a learnable skill. This action-packed workshop will increase the skills of anyone.

This presentation equips participants with skills in reading micro-expressions, understanding how the ‘tells’ used by mentalists and magicians can be incorporated into our lives to enhance our relationships and our effectiveness.

This session will also review common patterns of human behaviour and how to manage them.

A good night's sleep, full bellies after breakfast and plenty of smiles!

Camp has officially begun and our Year 4 students have hit the ground running!
After arriving safely and settling into their cabins, it was time to unpack before taking on their first adventure, Bush Skills. Students had a great time learning how to create fire using a flint, discovering just how much patience and perseverance it takes.
The fun continued with an afternoon of Lawn Games, where teamwork, communication and plenty of laughter were on full display.
After enjoying dinner, the day finished with Glow Rockets lighting up the evening sky.
With perfect weather and lots of smiles all round we've had a fantastic day and can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
