🙏🏻Year 3 First Holy Communion Spirituality Day ✝️

Year 3 enjoyed a beautiful and faith-filled First Holy Communion Spirituality Day as they continued preparing for the sacrament of First Holy Communion.

The day began with Mass, where the children gathered together in prayer and celebrated God's love. They then took part in a variety of meaningful activities, including creating a special craft, baking bread as a reminder of Jesus, the Bread of Life, and spending time with Fr Joseph for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

It was a wonderful day of prayer, reflection and learning, helping our Year 3 students grow in their faith as they prepare to receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time.

Year 1 Aboriginal Art Incursion 🎨🖤💛❤️

Year 1 enjoyed a wonderful Aboriginal Art incursion led by Graham, an Aboriginal artist from Boomalli. As part of our History learning, students explored the importance of Country and learned about Aboriginal culture, stories and the meanings behind traditional symbols and artwork.

Inspired by their learning, students created their own beautiful Aboriginal artworks, using patterns and symbols to represent their connection to Country. This meaningful hands-on experience deepened their understanding of Australia's First Nations peoples while celebrating creativity, culture and respect for the world's oldest continuing living culture.

Materials, imagination and a whole lot of creativity!

Our Kindergarten students investigated how the properties of different materials help us make useful things. They explored recycled materials during the Reverse Garbage incursion and put their imaginations to work creating some wonderfully kooky characters! They tested their problem-solving skills and figured out how to piece everything together without glue or tape.

After lunch, they discovered how natural materials can be transformed into useful objects. They viewed examples from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and explored how objects such as knives and water carriers were carefully designed using materials chosen for their specific properties.

To finish the day, they got hands-on and designed and constructed their own simple tools using sticks, bark and grass.

What a fun day of creating and investigating the properties of different materials.

Year 1 Science Fun! ✨🔦

Year 1 have been investigating the mysteries of light and discovering how it interacts with different materials. Through hands-on experiments, students explored how light can pass through, be blocked by, or be reflected from a variety of objects. There was plenty of curiosity, wonder, and excitement as our young scientists made predictions, tested their ideas, and shared their discoveries! 🌟🔍

The Friend‑O‑Meter is one of our favourite URSTRONG tools for helping children recognise how their friendships are feeling. It gives students a clear, visual way to pause and reflect on their friendships.

How it works:

Green Zone: “My friendships feel strong and steady”.

Yellow Zone: “Something feels a bit off. Maybe a small Friendship Fire.”

Red Zone: “I’m feeling upset or disconnected. I might need support.”

By checking in regularly, students learn to recognise their emotions, spot Friendship Fires early, and use their Friendology skills to strengthen their connections.
