On Thursday, the 10th of September, the Year Five Debating team had the opportunity to compete in the Delany Cup Debating Grand Final.
Julia Kable, Sophia Santos, Victoria Carr and I were lucky enough to come back to school victorious, knowing that we had worked hard to win the Delany Cup.
It was a friendly debate between our school and St Margaret Mary’s; we have became close friends from the previous debates. We were pleased with the great sportsmanship shown by the girls from St Margaret Mary’s and liked the way they politely congratulated us
We would especially like to thank Mrs Dwyer, Mr Hopley and Mrs Garzaniti for supporting us during our debates. We would also like to thank the Delany Staff and students for welcoming us and holding the debate in their school. Another warm thanks to Mrs Carr and Mrs Barker for giving up their time to take some students to and from Delany College.
So now we are Delany Colleges 2015 Debating champions!! We are so proud of this achievement.

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

We celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. The Assumption of Mary is a Catholic doctrine of faith stating that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was assumed (taken up) body and soul into Heaven at the end of her life. The Catholic Church celebrates this important feast day on 15 August and, in Australia, it is a Holy Day of Obligation. Feast of the Assumption Prayer O Blessed Virgin Mary, united to the victorious Christ in heaven, you are the image and first-flowering of the Church as she is to be perfected in the world to come. You shine forth as a sign of sure hope and solace for the pilgrim People of God. In your Assumption, you manifest the fullness of redemption and appear as the spotless image of the Church responding in joy to the invitation of the Bridegroom, your Son, who is the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. Grant that we may follow your example on earth thereby imitating your Son as well and being enabled to share your glory, with Him for all eternity. Amen. 🙏💐💖
