On Wednesday the 2nd of April 4R and 4C went on an excursion to the Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay. Luckily it was a hot day so we didn’t get wet.
On the way to our destination we got to travel over the Harbour Bridge. Everyone screamed when they saw the city and the Opera House. We all were very exited.
Before recess we had a walk around the water and saw a man who was standing with one leg, very still like a statue. We were all so surprised!!!!
We then had recess in front of a restaurant on these chairs next to the water. We were all so lucky.
4R then went for a tour with a lady named Vicky, while 4R was gone 4C walked around Circular Quay. We saw a man who could play the didgeridoo. He encouraged some boys to have a turn too. Some girls banged some sticks together to make music with an Aboriginal man. We also saw a man covered in glitter who could sit without a chair. It was cool!!!!
At around 11:45 4C then went for a tour with a lady named Jeanette and 4R did the things 4C had finished doing. In the Opera House we got to see 3 theatres.
We saw a small room called the Play Room that could fit 300 people. We then saw the Studio. It can fit 600 people. We then saw the biggest one, which is the Joan Sutherland Theatre.
We then had lunch at the Botanic Gardens. There were lots of birds crowding around us. It was fun. We had a great day and would love to go again.

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Patrick. As a missionary and bishop, Saint Patrick dedicated his life to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the people of Ireland. His courage, faith, and trust in God remind us that even one person, guided by the Holy Spirit, can help bring light and hope to many. May we be inspired by Saint Patrick’s example to live our faith with joy, kindness, and courage in our own community. “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me.” Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all in our school community. ☘️

We would like to sincerely thank our wonderful FIAT team for their generosity in creating and donating the beautiful Easter baskets that will be raffled off next week. During Lent, we are reminded to reflect on the needs of others, especially those who are less fortunate. Easter is a time of hope, renewal, and generosity, and these baskets are a lovely reminder of the spirit of giving that this season calls us to embrace. Your kindness and willingness to contribute reflect the true meaning of Lent—thinking of others, sharing what we have, and spreading joy within our community. #faithinactioncspd
