Ms Pepin, Kaitlin, Claudia, Maneesha and Mrs Byrne at the Mission Mass
At the beginning of Term 4, we had the opportunity to attend the Diocesan Mission Mass that was held at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Parramatta.
This was a great experience for us because we are part of the Mini Vinnies group that meets every Monday. At Mini Vinnies, we learn all about Mission in our community and internationally. We discuss how we can support others in need and make a difference.
Before the Mass, we had the chance to walk around to different stalls set up by schools in the Parramatta Diocese. Then we had a lovely mass that was very eye opening. We were spoken to by a missionary that helps to educate those less fortunate than us in Cambodia.
This was an incredible event that we were extremely privileged to participate in. It made us think about how we can help others that are less fortunate than ourselves.

Kindergarten and Year 6 shared a very special moment this week. Kindergarten were learning that we are all made in the image of God- each of us unique, with our own similarities and differences, yet equally loved. Year 6 have also been exploring how God gives everyone different gifts, and why those gifts matter in our world. During our buddy visit, each student drew a portrait of their buddy. It was such a beautiful reminder of how our youngest and oldest learners work together.

Our Kindergarten students have been learning all about kindness in Religion this term. They explored what it means to show kindness to others and created their own colourful kindness rocks to remind us that small acts of love can make a big difference. We’re so proud of their gentle hearts and the way they are already living out kindness in our school community.

Year 5 had a fantastic time at their clay art incursion last week! Students spent the session creating their own clay cake sculptures, learning how natural clay is made and how to shape and add creative toppings. It was a fun, hands‑on way to explore sculpture techniques and express their artistic ideas. We loved seeing their focus, creativity, and pride in their finished pieces!

Last week, our Year 6 junior scientists had an unforgettable day at Bungarribee Park! Students joined Ranger Jaime for a hands‑on science session exploring the states of matter. They launched paper rockets, mixed up oobleck, and watched vinegar‑and‑bicarb rockets blast off as they investigated real‑life chemical reactions. A huge thank you to Ranger Jaime for such an engaging and wonderfully messy day of learning. Thank you to our Year 6 teachers for organising such a great day, and to our parent helpers for your assistance on the day!

On Friday, our Year 5 students led a fantastic whole‑grade assembly. To begin the assembly, they presented a beautiful Pentecost prayer, inviting us to reflect on the Holy Spirit and the joy it brings to our community. They also shared their learning about Macquarie Island, demonstrating strong research skills and confident speaking. We loved the persuasive drama performance too!! Thank you to our Year 5 students and teachers, and to everyone who attended!
