Students in Year One participated in Super Sandwich Day.
The students have been learning about healthy eating and celebrations in class and used all of their knowledge to create a super healthy sandwich or wrap.
We were lucky to have such amazing support from the Year One parents in providing ingredients and preparing the food. The music room resembled a Subway shop, where students moved around the amongst a range of breads, spreads, cold meats and endless vegetables.
They were required to use at least three ingredients in their sandwich and to try something new. The Year One students did this really well and created tasty and healthy sandwiches or wraps for their lunch.
As a part of the Celebrations unit, they have been learning about the importance of sharing a meal.
At lunchtime, they each received a bottle of water, popcorn, a banana and their super sandwich and enjoyed it with their whole grade.
This was a great day and learning experience for all of the students and we extend our appreciation to everyone who donated their time or foods.

On Thursday, Year 5 students participated in a Colonial Day. Students were asked to dress up as convicts and settlers who were important in the growth of Australia's Colonies in the late 1700’s and 1800’s. Students had fantastic opportunities in learning about The First Fleet, Early settlements, the Indigenous perspective of Early Colonisation and participating in Colonial Games. Thank you to Mrs Borg, Miss Grima, Mrs Grunsell, Mr Campbell and Mrs McBrien for the organisation of the day.

Last Friday, a group of Year 5 and Year 6 students participated in the second round of the Mark Taylor Shield Cricket Competition. Our opponents were Santa Sophia Catholic College, Box Hill. The students took part in a hard fought competition, finishing with a team total of 111. Unfortunately, we were defeated by our opponents, with Santa Sophia reaching the total in the 27th over. Well done to Flynn, top-scoring with 32 runs, as well as Ashvith with 27 runs. Also, well done to Ben for bowling figures of 3/5. Thank you to Mr Campbell, and the parents and families who assisted on the day!

Our Kindergarten students had an exciting incursion this week with Drama Toolbox- and what a performance it was! Through imaginative play, costumes, and movement, students explored characters, emotions, and storytelling in the most magical way. The incursion gave our Kindergarten students the chance to shine, build confidence, and express themselves through drama. Thank you to the wonderful facilitators for bringing the joy of theatre to life, and to our teachers for supporting such a fun experience!

We wrapped up a busy week with something truly special this afternoon- a live performance by Alyssa Delpopolo, current semi-finalist on The Voice! Alyssa wowed us with her beautiful vocals, answered thoughtful questions from our students, and shared powerful messages about chasing dreams and overcoming fear. Her words and music lit up the assembly- and the cheers, posters, and proud smiles said it all! Some of the most magical moments were when Alyssa joined our school choir for a beautiful song, and her cousin in Kindergarten proudly presented her with a special gift on behalf of our school. Thank you to Alyssa and her family for visiting us, and to Mr Cauchi for making it all happen. Thank you also to all of the family members who joined us for this special event. We’re cheering Alyssa on for her semi-final this weekend and beyond- our school community is behind you all the way! Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
