Some of the students in Years 1 to 4 showing off their achievements.
Students in Years 1 to 4 attended the Windsor Function Centre to participate in the Verse Speaking section of the Hawkesbury Eisteddfod, run by the Hawkesbury City Council.
"We had to get on stage and perform two different styles of poems and competed against many schools. It was very nerve racking experience getting on stage and performing our poems to lots of parents, judges and students"said Eoin in Yr 4.
"Even though it was a challenge, it is a very good experience as we learnt how to present poems using expression to deliver our poems and standing up in front a large group of people," added Charli.
Congratulation to Year 1 for their Highly Commended, Year 2 for 2nd Place, Year 3 for 1 st Place and Year 4 for 4th Place.

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.
