What a fantastic day was had by all at our annual swimming carnival held at the Hawkesbury Oasis Centre at Windsor.
It was great to see each of the students dressed in their team's colour and got into the spirit of the day.
Students participated well during each event and encouraged their friends to do their best throughout the day. Each house colour cheered on their own team with lots of encouragement, as their teammates swam to the finish line. It was a great day for the students to challenge their physical abilities and teamwork.
Thank you to the P & F and parent volunteers who helped out throughout the day and it was wonderful to see the parents and grandparents there supporting their children. The enthusiasm in the cheering gave the carnival a community feel and lots of school spirit.
Thank you to our 2016 House colour captains for the effort they put into designing signs and organising cheers for their team on the day.
Congratulation to all our students who received a ribbon for their efforts and for all those students who achieved a personal best or tried something new, well done! This year saw many records broken. A special mention goes to Jesse Eldred who broke six school swimming records.
Congratulations to Mrs Byrne for organising another wonderful and successful carnival.

Thank you to Mrs Vella, Mrs Hodgess, Ms Bombardiere, and our Year 6 students who led us in a beautiful prayer this morning, acknowledging the significance of ANZAC Day. Thank you to Mr Alex Mangion from the Rooty Hill RSL Sub-Branch, who also joined us (Freya's Grandfather). We remember the sacrifice that many soldiers have made for us, and we pray that the gift of peace, given to us by these brave people, will be treasured for generations to come.

Yesterday, our students gathered for our Alleluia Liturgy, reflecting on the joy of Jesus’ Resurrection in their classrooms. They spent time thinking about what the Resurrection means for us today- hope, new life, and God’s love for everyone. It was a moment of faith, reminding our school community that the risen Jesus walks with us each day.

Today, our staff spent the day engaged in Formation, taking time to reflect, learn, and grow together. Days like today strengthen who we are as a Catholic community and deepen the way we serve our students and families. We look forward to carrying this learning into the term ahead! See you all tomorrow!

Our Year 2 students wrapped up the term with a brilliant STEM challenge: How can we get the billy goats safely across to another island? Students explored materials, tested their ideas, and engineered solutions. Such clever little designers!
