St Francis of Assisi Regional Catholic Primary School Paddington

Our Year 5 students have been using a range of strategies to add and subtract during problem‑solving tasks in Mathematics. It’s been great to see them explaining their reasoning and selecting strategies that work best for them.

Congratulations to our student on placing second in the Stage One division of the Sydney North Harbour Public Speaking Competition with his speech on “The Most Important Rule at My House.” A fantastic achievement. 💚

Congratulations to our three students who represented our school at the Sydney North Harbour Public Speaking Competition. A wonderful achievement. 💚

Fr Anthoni has been spending time visiting classes across our school, chatting with students about what they are learning in their Religious Education lessons 🙏

Our school turned yellow for You Can Sit With Me Day 💛
Students learned how small actions can help others feel included. Year 6 leaders visited classrooms and led discussions about how we can look out for one another.

Our Year 2 students spent the day learning about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They took part in quiet reflection, shared their thoughts with care and created artwork that expressed their understanding of God’s love and forgiveness.

🌟 One stage. One night. Sydney's most outstanding student performers.

Yesterday’s Speech Competition provided an excellent platform for students to share their ideas with confidence.

We were so proud of every student who presented at yesterday’s St Francis School Speech Competition. Each speaker delivered their ideas with confidence and clarity. Well done to our three winners who were recognised for their outstanding speeches. 💚
