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.

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

Year 4 History Excursion Our Year 4 students enjoyed a wonderful day of learning in the city during their recent History excursion. At The Big Dig in The Rocks, students stepped back in time as they explored an authentic archaeological dig site. They examined real artefacts, listened to fascinating stories about the people who once lived in the area, and even had the opportunity to dig for artefacts themselves while practising their historical investigation skills. Students also visited the Art Gallery of New South Wales, where they explored a range of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artworks. They learned about the different techniques and mediums used by artists and took part in several hands-on art activities inspired by what they observed. It was a fantastic day of discovery, creativity and learning, and our students gained a deeper understanding of Australia’s history and culture.
