FATHER’S DAY STALL // There were some very serious shopping decisions being made in Primary School yesterday, with hundreds of little shoppers on a mission to find the perfect surprises for their dads, stepdads, granddads and special father figures in their lives at the Father’s Day Stall. With 611 bags snapped up before the stall sold out, our students certainly went on a fun shopping spree.

There were brain teasers for the thinkers, treats for tired heads, something for the morning caffeine ritual, wearable Dad flair and plenty of useful little gadgets to choose from. Each shopper also received a Father’s Day card and gift bag, ready to take home and keep under wraps until the special day.

A huge thank you to our 12 wonderful mums who gave up their day to make the stall such a success. All that’s left now is the countdown to Sunday, when the secret contents of those gift bags can finally be revealed!

PRIMARY LIBRARY + AUTHOR VISITS // There was simply no better place to celebrate this year’s Book Week theme, A Symphony of Stories, than our brand-new Bryson Building Primary Library!

With inviting spaces for group storytelling, cosy couches for independent reading and creative collaboration corners, students have been discovering new worlds and new perspectives. With so many vibrant and varied learning areas, the library has quickly become a hub of imagination and discovery.

Adding to the excitement, students enjoyed visits from three talented Australian authors: Ashleigh Barton dazzled our Prep to Year 2 students, while Kristin Darell wowed our Years 3-4 students and Jack Heath captivated students in Years 5-6. Hearing firsthand about the writing process inspired curiosity, creativity and a deeper love of reading in our students.

What a memorable week celebrating stories, authors and the joy of books together in this fabulous space!

INTER-HOUSE SINGING COMPETITION // Our Secondary students reached for the stars this week as the annual Inter-House Singing Competition took us on a musical trip to the moon and back! This year’s ‘Songs of Stardom’ theme gave our Houses plenty of scope to let their voices shine, with hits from Queen, Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Smash Mouth and ‘The Greatest Showman’ among the repertoire.

Our performers brought plenty of energy and confidence to the stage, with House spirit soaring as each group filled the Sports Centre with big voices and bold performances. Our judges had the tricky task of weighing up musicality, performance skills, teamwork and entertainment factor before the stars aligned for Johnson House, taking first place, followed by Hassall House in second and Darling House in third. What a stellar showdown!

BOOK WEEK PARADE // Our Book Week Parade this week had it all: a little magic, a few ‘wild’ animals, plenty of creativity and one very impressive Oxford Junior Dictionary! Widely regarded as the most colourful event on the Primary School calendar, the parade was a wonderful celebration of the stories that capture our imaginations and the characters we love to meet along the way.

There were princes and princesses, dinosaurs and unicorns, crayons, robots, Snow White’s dwarves, W***y Wonka and Grug, alongside a very healthy-looking fruit and vegetable ‘platter’. Even Grogu joined the fun, ‘floating’ through the parade in inflatable form.

Our amazing staff embraced the occasion too, stepping out as characters from ‘The Very Clever Bear’, ‘Monkey Puzzle’, ‘Sid the Seagull’, ‘The Pigeon Has to Go to School’ and many more. Our Executive team certainly understood the assignment, with Mr Bump, Mr Clever and Mr Strong bringing their ‘larger-than-life’ personalities to the festivities. With ‘Symphony of Stories’ as this year’s theme, our students and staff certainly created a chorus of costumes, joy and wonder.

TRIVIA NIGHT // If you thought the 1980s were all about big hair, bright colours and questionable fashion choices, our Trivia Night was certainly an unforgettable trip down memory lane. The Bryson Building played host on Saturday night to some crazy characters, including Donkey Kong, Prince, the Top Gun fighter pilot brigade, The Boss himself and enough mullets and tracksuits to make the decade proud.

From the Vinyl Record Relay and Minties wrapper challenge to a paper plane face-off and plenty of trivia, there was no shortage of competition, laughter and friendly rivalry. And the best part? The night raised an incredible $9000 for the Community Care Fund, helping provide practical care and compassionate support to families experiencing significant hardship.

A huge thank you to Mrs Louise Borg and the amazing team who brought the night together, our fantastic host Mr Russell Tredinnick and his son James for keeping the trivia flowing, Mr Mark Talbot and the Finance Team for their efforts on the night, and our valued sponsors. Most of all, it was the generosity and enthusiasm of our community that turned an 80s throwback into such a wonderful night of connection and giving.

SHARING MUSIC, SHARING JOY // A love of music, a heart for others and a room full of young voices made for a very special afternoon recently at Moran Aged Care. Our Secondary Choir not only shared a 30-minute concert with residents, but also took the time to chat, listen to stories and enjoy some time together. There were plenty of smiles as residents sang along and tapped their feet to tunes from ‘Anastasia’, ‘Coco’ and ‘The Greatest Showman’, alongside contemporary favourites including ‘Shallow’ and ‘Love Story’. The repertoire also included the uplifting ‘Thulele Mama Ya!’ and much-loved worship songs including ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘Gaelic Blessing’.

More than a performance, this was our students putting their passion into action, building genuine connections, showing compassion, and bringing some extra light and laughter to someone else’s day. It was a lovely reminder of the difference we can make when we use our gifts to serve others.

PRIMARY MUSIC SHOWCASE // Cue the applause! Our Primary students took centre stage last week for an evening that hit all the right notes, showcasing the musical talents they have been developing throughout the year.

But before the Primary Music Showcase began, families gathered over a cuppa and some afternoon treats, enjoying a chance to connect, catch up and simply spend time together. For our first event of this kind, it was lovely to see such a warm response and so much community spirit.

Seven ensembles performed for their families, friends, staff and fellow students on the night, including the Junior Choir, Primary Singers, K-2 String Factory, Primary Band and many more. Watching students from Kindergarten through to Year 6 take to the stage was a wonderful reminder that a love of music can begin with the smallest voice, the first bow or a pair of drumsticks. What a beautiful celebration of music, courage, commitment and joy!

STAFF VS STUDENTS // The competition was fierce this week as students and staff faced off in a hard-fought Football showdown that featured strong defence, relentless pressure and plenty of competitive spirit from both sides.

The opening exchanges were evenly matched as both teams looked to find their rhythm. Staff created several promising opportunities, but the students’ defence stood firm, with Sonny S producing a remarkable goal-line clearance to deny a powerful strike from Mr Bellam. Jake G opened the scoring for the students with some excellent link-up play that carved open the staff defence, allowing him to tap the ball in for an easy goal. Harry L then doubled the students’ lead with a thunderous strike from the edge of the box.

While the staff continued to push forward and tested goalkeeper Jett L throughout the match, they were unable to find a way through the students’ resolute defence. Despite a spirited effort from both sides, the students’ pressure and teamwork ultimately proved too much, securing for them, a 2-0 victory.

Thanks goes to Johnson House who fired up the BBQ, keeping spectators well fed from the sidelines and raising much-needed funds for North-West Disability Services.

While the students claimed the bragging rights this time around, the real highlight was once again the strong sense of community, sportsmanship and connection on display, making this special event another great success.

CAREERS EXPO // Sometimes the most valuable career lessons come from simply sitting down with someone who has already walked the path. That’s exactly what our Years 10-12 students did at yesterday’s Finance and Business Careers Expo, where 22 members of our College community generously gave their time to share their first-hand experiences, practical insights and thoughtful advice.

From accountants and risk managers to Chief Financial Officers, Managing Directors and Macquarie University lecturers, there was an impressive breadth of experience gathered in the K-6 Hall! Even HSBC’s Head of Transformation joined us via Zoom all the way from Hong Kong! AI was also a hot topic among students, with plenty of questions about how technology is reshaping the industry and what it could mean for their own career pathways.

What a fantastic afternoon filled with engaging conversations, fresh perspectives, real-world inspiration and exciting possibilities for our students.
