On Friday, 31 July, 25 students proudly represented our school at the Western Region Athletics Carnival held at Campbelltown Athletics Centre. All students competed with great enthusiasm, determination and outstanding sportsmanship, making our school community incredibly proud.

A special mention to Estelle A, who was named the Senior Girls Age Champion—an outstanding achievement.

As a school, we also celebrated a fantastic result, finishing 2nd overall in the Small Schools category. This is a wonderful accomplishment and reflects the dedication and effort of all our athletes.

A sincere thank you to Mr Nguyen, Mrs Marshall and Mrs Antunovic for supporting and encouraging our students throughout the day. We also extend our appreciation to Mrs Vazquez for all of her hard work behind the scenes in organising the team prior to the carnival.

Congratulations to all of our competitors for representing our school with pride and excellence. 🏃‍♀🏃‍♀

🔐 **Cyber Safety at Holy Family!** 💻

Yesterday, our Year 5 and 6 students participated in a **Digital Thumbprint Cyber Safety Workshop**, proudly supported by Optus.

Students explored how to stay safe and responsible online, including protecting their personal information, thinking carefully about what they post and share, and recognising potential online risks.

A valuable and engaging session helping our students build the skills they need to be **safe, smart and responsible digital citizens!** 🌐✨

Year 5 students have been engaging meaningfully in the process of creating their Christmas artworks, drawing on Scripture to develop and communicate their understanding of the Christmas story. Through thoughtful reflection and creative expression, students have produced individual pieces that demonstrate their developing understanding of the significance of Christmas and their personal connection to the messages of faith, hope, joy and love conveyed through Scripture.

We can't wait to see their final masterpieces! 🎨

Kindergarten White rolled into subtraction today—literally! 🎳💥
Before young learners can understand a minus sign on paper, they need to see what "taking away" looks like in action. Today, our kindergarteners turned into mini-bowlers to tackle subtraction head-on!

Today, our Year 5 students participated in an engaging Gotcha4Life Mental Fitness Workshop, exploring what it means to be mentally fit and how we can look after ourselves and each other.
Students worked together to begin designing their own ideas and projects aimed at building mental fitness within our school community. It was fantastic to see them thinking creatively about connection, resilience, help-seeking and ways we can make a positive difference for others.
We can’t wait to see where their ideas take them! 🌟

In week 2, we welcomed our grandparents and special people to Holy Family and celebrated with a beautiful Mass and a fun shared picnic lunch!

Their unconditional love, steady wisdom, and living examples of grace mean the world to us and shape our faith journeys every single day. Being able to come together as a community to pray, share a meal, and show our deep appreciation for everything they do was truly unforgettable. Thank you to all the wonderful grandparents and special mentors who joined us and continue to enrich our lives! ❤️✨

On Friday, we celebrated Mrs Smith for World Principals Day! 💙

We are so blessed to have such a faith-filled, knowledgeable and approachable leader at Holy Family. Mrs Smith leads with kindness, wisdom and a genuine love for our school community. We are incredibly lucky to have her guiding and supporting us each day.

Thank you, Mrs Smith, for all that you do! 🌟

On Monday our Year 11 Youth Ministry Leaders visited Holy Family Catholic School in Ingleburn to run an inspiring Youth Ministry program! 🌟 The day was all about growing in faith and deepening a personal relationship with Jesus. Our students had a wonderful time connecting with such enthusiastic little ones! ✝️❤️

On Sunday, 26th July, our School Captain, Rafael and Vice Captain, Chisom, accompanied Miss Laidlaw to attend the 60th Annual Communion Mass for the Campbelltown Catholic Club at St Thomas More Catholic Church, Ruse.
We are so proud of Rafael and Chisom for representing our school community with such reverence and pride at this special milestone event. Thank you for being wonderful leaders!
