We have welcomed our new Little Augustine’s for transition visits. They have had lots of fun exploring our school and are very excited to start next term! 🩵

Yesterday, our school community celebrated Deadly Day. Deadly Day is about celebrating culture, learning, community, and NAIDOC Week. 🌿

We had an incredible lineup of presenters, workshops and experiences, including;
- An interactive performance by Dion Drummond
- Learning to weave with Aunty Janice
- Winda creations with Violet Buckskin
- Native plants workshop
- Aboriginal games in PE
- Aboriginal film screening in performing arts
- Interacting with native animals and reptiles with Animals Anonymous

Thank you to all of our visitors and performers! 🖤💛❤️

Last week, our school gathered for a beautiful National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week assembly led by 1BL.

The students did a marvellous job helping our school community reflect on Australia’s shared histories, the importance of truth-telling, and the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

Through prayer, storytelling and reflection, students explored this year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, 'All In', reminding us that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility and that meaningful change happens when we walk together with respect, understanding and compassion.

We are so proud of the courage, respect and thoughtfulness shown by our students throughout this important assembly. 🖤💛❤️

This week is Canteen Week! 🍏

Every day, canteen staff and volunteers go above and beyond to nourish students and support the school community.

During lunchtime at St Augustine’s this week, the school canteen has organised some fun activities for our students. Including a colouring competition, chalk drawing of fruit trees, and a lucky dip draw for classes!

St Augustine’s is incredibly proud to share that our school choir was featured in the national 'Voices for Reconciliation' choir compilation singing 'Beds Are Burning' by Midnight Oil alongside more than 41,000 voices from over 700 choirs across Australia.

Even more excitingly, our students appear within the opening moments of the national video compilation helping launch National Reconciliation Week 2026 across Australia.

This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, 'All In', reminds all Australians that reconciliation requires all of us to listen, learn, reflect and take meaningful action together.

Our students sang with such passion, heart, grit and pride, and represented our school community beautifully. We are so incredibly proud of them and the powerful message they helped share through music. 🖤💛❤️

During Volunteer Week, we take the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the incredible contribution of our school volunteers. We are deeply grateful for the way our volunteers model service, respect and generosity. Our school community is stronger because of you! 🌼

Our school community is Living Laudato Si' in moving from Hope to Action by making a commitment to looking after our school garden. Our classes have been busy weeding, planting and collecting produce to help care for God's creation.🌱
