St Spyridon College

KM1 students participated in an incursion focused on reusing items, reducing waste, and the importance of recycling. Using commercial offcuts and products, they worked together to create outdoor play equipment and explored how materials can be reused in new ways. This experience encouraged creativity, problem-solving, and an understanding of sustainable practices.

JUNIOR CAMPUS ATHLETICS CARNIVAL 2026

Congratulations to all competitors and spectators at last week's Junior Campus Athletics Carnival.

Year 3 had an exciting excursion to Macquarie University, where students explored solar telescopes, experienced the planetarium, and had the opportunity to ask questions to specialists in the field. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that deepened their understanding of space and science while inspiring curiosity and wonder about our universe.

Last Thursday, students competed in the ASISSA Cross Country carnival at Queens Park. We are pleased to announce that 11 of our students placed in the top 10 and will be representing ASISSA at the CIS Cross Country championships later in the term.

Congratulations Kiara M, Christian C, Christian K, Kerry K, Maksim I, Nikolai P, William H, Ari S, Jessica S, Mia S, and Mia D.

The College was excited to welcome contemporary Greek Artist, Caroline Rovithi, as part of her “Two Homelands. One Heart” Australian visit. Bringing her art, her spirit, and a little piece of Greece all the way home to us.

Caroline presented her vision and her story to aspiring Visual Arts students who then took part in a “Release Your Inner Tsarouchi” workshop where the students drew upon the inspiring works to produce their version with the tagline “We can do it”.

We thank Caroline for bringing her love of Greek art, culture, and community to the College.

Last Week, our Year 10 students visited the Junior Campus to share this year’s National Simultaneous Storytime book, Luna Roo, with students from Kindy Minus 1 to Year 3, while Years 4–6 joined the event online in their classrooms.

Our Year 10 students loved the opportunity to connect with our younger students, share their passion for reading, and build relationships across the College. The experience was a wonderful success, and they are already looking forward to collaborating with the Junior Campus again during Book Week where the theme is 'Symphony of Stories'.

In preparation for Pentecost, our KM1 students explored the story of the Holy Spirit coming as “tongues of fire.”
They had so much fun creating their own flame headbands and learning about this special feast day.

On Tuesday 26th May, a selection of Year 7-9 students visited The 2026 Sydney Writer’s Festival and had the opportunity to hear from a variety of established Young Adult writers including Tristan Bancks, Amy Doak, Jasmin McGaughey, Alexandra Moody and Josh Silver. Each writer shared their personal approach to the craft of writing to compose award winning novels.

Students had the opportunity to meet authors and ask questions during the book signing and even made a guest appearance on stage as part of Amy Doak’s workshop on the use of tension in Crime Writing. The excitement in Sydney Town Hall was palpable and the day provided our students a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the joy of reading.
