Recently, Year 5 went on their first educational overnight experience, to the Bathurst Gold Fields.
During our visit, our tour guides told us about the finding of gold in the 1850s. We had an opportunity to experience what life on the goldfields would have been like. We did lots of different activities such as making damper, making mud bricks, seeing a blacksmith at work, touring the goldfields and gold panning.
At the end of the exhausting day, we all sat around the campfire and did the last activity of the day which was colonial dancing and singing and learning that made Australia famous such as Waltzing Matilda.
On the second day, we visited the Bathurst Cemetery, to learn about our people's history. But before that, we had a chance to go on the Bathurst 1000 track on our coach. While at the cemetery, we had a chance to go on a treasure hunt and learnt about the significant people buried there. We also got to teach our tour guides, Sarah and Gary, The Floss dance and how to Dab.
We had a quick pit stop before heading to Katoomba to go on the Skyrail. We had an amazing time learning and experience the 1850s. We would like to thank our tour guides for all the hard work they put into this experience. We would also like to give a big thank you to our teachers because if it weren’t for them we would never have gone to Bathurst and had so much fun.

Year 2 has been exploring how to take care of creation, learning that our world is a gift from God and that we have a responsibility to protect and respect the environment. As part of this learning, students became eco‑artists, using recycled materials to create artworks inspired by God’s landscapes. This hands‑on project helped them think about reusing resources, reducing waste, and caring for the earth in meaningful, creative ways.

Year 1 have been busy investigating the differences between living and non‑living things, and they put their learning into action by designing and making their very own bird feeders. Students thought carefully about what birds need to survive and created feeders that would help meet those needs in our school environment. It was wonderful to see so many creative ideas come to life, and even more special to have siblings visit to see the showcase. Thank you to everyone who supported the students with ideas, equipment, encouragement, and enthusiasm!

Year 3 had a fantastic time exploring forces through their Design & Make projects this week. Students planned, tested, and created their own objects to investigate how contact and non‑contact forces affect motion, while also using scientific diagrams and data to communicate their ideas. They loved sharing their work at last week's showcase. A big thank you to all the parents who came along, your support made the learning feel even more special!!

Today we celebrated the Feast of the Annunciation. Our Primary students gathered for Mass, while our Infants students marked this special day with beautiful classroom liturgies. Together we reflected on Mary’s courageous “yes” to God- a moment of trust, openness, and faith that changed everything. It was a lovely way for our students to pause, pray, and remember the importance of saying yes to God in our own lives.
