Another pit stop on our journey around the City.
Year 4 enjoyed a beautiful day in our wonderful city exploring the many historical and important sites in our city.
Teachers, students and parent helpers disembarked their buses at Milson’s Point for the start of their walking tour around this great city of ours. For some students, teachers and parents, it was their first time walking across the Harbour Bridge.
There were many screams, excited squeals and lots of questions about everything they could see. After finishing the first part of their walk, the group made their way to The Rocks were students were shown some of the old buildings and ruins from early settlement.
This was our classroom for the day.
After some photos and exploring of The First Impressions Sculpture we continued our walk towards Circular Quay. It was our first of many resting stops. Following the short break, we went to the Tank Stream, which is a tribute to Sydney Coves’ fresh water supply in the late 18th Century.
Next, we walked to the Opera House and climbed the stairs to investigate the outside of this magnificent building. Students loved the view of the harbour and seeing the small tiles up close. Finally, we stopped for another short break in the Botanical Gardens.
We were on the home stretch after that pit stop. We saw the Conservatorium of Music which we found out were old horse stables, before reaching Hyde Park Barracks. We arrived in time to conclude our walk at St Mary’s Cathedral and participated in Mass. The officiating Priest welcomed the students, teachers and parents and expressed how lovely it was for them to participate in the Mass. Finally, we boarded the bus back to school.
It was a long walk but we all had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the mums and dad who were able to come along with us. We hope you enjoyed yourselves. We certainly did!
Milson's Point was the start of our walk around the City.

Year 6 have been learning about the difference between figurative and abstract art. They created some amazing artworks, showing both real-life images and creative, imaginative designs. Other grades loved visiting the exhibition and were so impressed by the creativity on display. Well done, Year 6!

A big well done to our students who have been elected by their peers to join the Student Representative Council (SRC) this semester. Each of these students was chosen for a variety of reasons—whether it be their kindness, positive attitude, responsibility, willingness to help others, or the way they lead by example. Each semester, more students are added to the SRC to recognise the wide range of achievements and contributions our students make to our school community. We can’t wait to see the great ideas and leadership you bring this semester!

Yesterday we celebrated a very special group of students at our traditional 'Student of the Term' Assembly (Principal's award), followed by a lovely morning tea with Mr Calabria and Mr Cauchi. Each of these students were chosen by their teachers for their consistent effort, kindness, and positive attitude throughout the term. They are quiet achievers, hard workers, and wonderful role models for their peers. It was a joy to acknowledge and celebrate their dedication — we are so proud of them!
