On the 24th April, Year 2 were fortunate to have Ms Bonello come and speak to the children about ANZAC Day and the significance of this day.
Ms Bonello spoke about her Hunter's dad's experience in the Navy and showed the children some photos and medals. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.
Hunter’s father is in the Navy and Hunter’s mum came before ANZAC day a 100 years after it happened. I learnt it happened in Gallipoli. I saw some of Todd’s things (Hunter’s dad) like his medals. We also got to see pictures of him and his family.

I learnt about the Navy. The most interesting thing I learnt about is that they have a big ship and there are lots of guns on the ship. Each thing they did, they got a medal. All the people worked very hard. Each time they go somewhere they wear a special hat. They have lots of uniforms and have sailed to lots of countries.

I learnt about the Navy. The most important thing I learnt about is they have a big ship and they get lots of medals. They have sailed to lots of countries like Japan and America. They also have lots of guns on the ship. The Navy protects us and keeps us safe.

The season of Lent invites us to pause and reflect on the values that deepen our compassion and strengthen our shared responsibility for one another. It is a time for reflection that creates space for growth, humility that grounds us in our common humanity, self-discipline that draws us back to what truly matters, and generosity expressed through acts of compassion and kindness.

What a great first week of BIG school for our Kindergarten students! 🌟📚 They have settled in so well and are already learning new routines and getting comfortable in their new classrooms. This week, they also took part in their very first sport lesson and they were so excited! 🏃♀️🏃♂️⚽ It was lovely to see so many smiling faces and enthusiastic participation. It has also been wonderful to see new friendships starting to form as students get to know one another. 😊🤝 We are so proud of how well they have started the year and can’t wait for what’s to come! ⭐✨

Young Archie, 2026 – Sharing Our Gifts Through Art 🎨 In our art lessons, students learn that creativity is a gift from God and that art can be a beautiful way to tell stories, express gratitude, and honour the people who shape our lives. We would love to invite our students to consider entering the 2026 Young Archie Competition, where children create a portrait of someone special to them. The Young Archie encourages students to look closely at others with care and respect — reflecting on relationships, love, and the people who help us grow. This aligns beautifully with our Catholic values of community, compassion, and seeing the dignity in every person. Who can enter? 👧🧒 Australian residents aged 5–18 years Artwork requirements: 🖼️ A 2D portrait 📄 Size A4 to A3 ✏️ On paper only; less than 1cm thickness (unframed and unmounted) 🗓️ Entries close at 5:00 pm on Monday, 2 March 2026. Finalists are selected from each age group. The 2025 winning artworks are showcased here, eleven year old Isobel's portrait of her great-grandmother, as well as six year old Logan's portrait of his dad. ✨ We encourage students to be brave, to trust their creativity, and to share their unique voice through art. With your support at home, this can be a meaningful and joyful experience for your child. 👉 For more information and submissions: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/art/prizes/young-archie/enter/
