Learning & Teaching

First Eucharist Parent Child Workshop

A lovely evening was celebrated on Tuesday with our children, parents  and staff to help  prepare for the Sacrament of Eucharist. The children and families made beautiful banners and stoles and participated in a lovely prayer service. We thank all our families for supporting the children in their Catholic faith journey. We look forward to Saturday evening First Eucharist mass at St Timothy's Church.

Dance

On Monday 17th June, the entire school participated in a dance workshop run by Alex from ASPA  (Australian School of Performing Arts). The students learned a short dance routine, had fun in a dance game and discussed different forms of dance styles. Students experienced a range of music and dance such as hip hop, salsa, country and contemporary. It was really a fun afternoon and we appreciated Alex's enthusiasm and skill!

Telling our Story- Aboriginal Craft & Tools.


The year 4/5 and 5/6 students have been researching and making Indigenous crafts and tools. They have had to consider the materials, colours and construction of their objects!
