St Therese's Primary School, New Lambton

Last Tuesday, our Year 4 students enjoyed a fantastic excursion to the Newcastle Art Gallery and Newcastle Museum!
Students explored the Brian Robinson: Multiverse exhibition, participated in a creative workshop and discovered a range of fascinating exhibits at the museum, including Earth and Fire and Supernova.
It was a wonderful day of learning, creativity and discovery, with students representing our school with enthusiasm and respect throughout the excursion.

🏃‍♂️Regional Athletics Carnival – Glendale 🎉🏃‍♀️
Today, 55 of our amazing students proudly represented our school at the Regional Athletics Carnival in Glendale. With perfect weather setting the scene, it truly was a fantastic day for all involved!
Our students gave their absolute best in every event and, most importantly, demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, encouragement, and school pride throughout the day. We couldn’t be more proud of the way they supported one another and represented our school community.
Congratulations to all competitors on a wonderful effort – you did us proud! 👏

Last night we joyfully celebrated our Year 4 students as they completed the Sacrament of Confirmation. It was a beautiful and reverent occasion, marking an important step in their faith journey.
We extend our sincere thanks to all the families and friends who joined us to support and celebrate with our students. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide them as they grow in faith and love. 🙏✨
