  Hey everybody! Just a quick post in regards to the Feast of the Assumption of Mary Mission Markets for 2023 held  this Friday 04 August. This year the Year Five classes will be running a 'Hair Spray and Finger Nails' Market Stall to help raise money on the day.  We are asking that all of the boys bring in a can of coloured hair spray and all girls bring in a bottle of nail polish. If you have any bottles of hair spray / nail polish  that you no longer use and would like to send them in, that is fine. If you need to purchase coloured hairspray, I believe that the newsagent and Coles have some in stock. There is also an option for the girls to purchase some finger nail stickers from Kmart as an alternative to nail polish. Please send this in by Thursday afternoon. There will also be a Basketball Madness stall, but we have all the resources at school for this. On Friday please send in some coins (if possible), in a ziploc bag with your child's name, so that they can p...

 Hi team, Just a quick blog post regarding 'Operation Christmas Child' and 'Home Learning'. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD You would have received a handout last week explaining the following: All the children in Year Five will soon  participate in  'Operation Christmas Child' which is an initiative with the goal of packing shoeboxes full of little surprises to give to a child who may have never received a gift before. By participating in this, our children will have a first hand experience aimed at building the school value of compassion.  Your child will be grouped with four other children to contribute and pack the shoe box. The cost to send a shoe box will be  $2.50 per child .  We are asking you to encourage your child to do something extra at home to earn the money that is needed to buy the item to put into the provided shoe box. Please see below an example of the provided shoe box for Operation Christmas child: It is very exciting for the children to shar...

Welcome back team! Whether overseas, up north or in the South West, I hope everyone had a fantastic break with loved ones. I managed to jump on a plane for the first time in six years and headed over east. Spent a couple of days in Sydney before driving the coast to Brisbane. Favourite spot would have to be Yamba in Northern NSW (great spot for a sunrise - picture below) and a highlight of the trip, funnily enough was the Art Gallery of New South Wales (seeing both the finalists of the Archibald and Junior Archie). I feel I am quite the art critic now and inspired to bring some of the Gallery into the classroom to both respond to and appreciate, but to also inspire the students to create their own self portrait or portrait of someone special to them.
