This weekend was a big one for Lara Griffiths. The 10 year old student from 5B was crowned regional champion at the Hollywood Bound Dance Championships.
During the awards ceremony, Lara also received the wonderful news that she has won a trip and been selected to represent Australia once again at the Dance World Cup and World Dance Movement events in Europe next year. It won’t be easy as Lara moves up an age division in 2019, but she is still hoping to bring home another medal to accompany the Bronze that she earned at the Dance World Cup in Spain a couple of months ago.
Lara dances at PAC Station Dance Studio in Seven Hills and is the first dancer and ambassador to be selected on the Australian team for 2019.

We currently have a large amount of lost property, including jumpers, lunchboxes, drink bottles and other items that have not been labelled. A bucket containing these items has been placed at the front gate, outside the office. We would appreciate it if parents could please take a moment to look through the items and collect anything that may belong to their child. We kindly ask that all clothing, lunchboxes and drink bottles are clearly labelled to help ensure lost items can be returned to their owners. Please note that any unclaimed items will unfortunately need to be disposed of. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Our Little Disciples lunchtime group enjoyed making decade Rosary beads while learning about the special role of Mary in our faith. Teaching children to pray the Rosary helps them grow closer to Jesus through Mary’s loving guidance and encourages a lifelong connection to prayer. We are proud of our students for embracing this beautiful Catholic tradition and deepening their faith.

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. We all can have God in our lives if we open our hearts to the possibility, and families are an especially potent way to bring, keep, and reinforce God in our hearts. God may not be as literally present as the visitation between Mary and Elizabeth, but the essence of that reunion can still spark within us a joy and inspiration from our own families that matches Mary’s and Elizabeth’s Godly proclamations.
