22.01.2022 Making Learning Visible Year 1 have been learning about volume and capacity in Mathematics. One of their tasks was to fill their lunchboxes with blocks however they chose. The students were super clever and quickly realised if they attach 10 blocks together and place them inside that they will fill up their lunchbox much quicker and much easier to count once full. Super Maths Wizards in the making!... Sydney Catholic Schools

20.01.2022 Recently Year 6 had the privilege of participating in some science activities based on the properties of electricity. "Mad About Science" visited our classrooms and engaged the students in a host of activities.

Overall the students enjoyed themselves thoroughly and wanted to keep creating circuits when the time was up! ... Here are some photos from the day. Sydney Catholic Schools

10.01.2022 Today we celebrate mothers. We give thanks for all the mothers who have influenced our lives and made sacrifices for us. We pray for those mothers who are no longer with us and we remember them fondly with love. We are grateful for all the staff of our school on this special day. They care for our students on a daily basis, always with joy, compassion and kindness. So to all the mothers of the IHM community we say Happy Mothers Day... Heavenly Father, we praise You and we thank You for the gift of our mothers, through whom You give us life and through whom we experience love.

08.01.2022 This Saturday we commemorate ANZAC Day. On ANZAC Day we remember Australians who have served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. We thank God for their courage and dedication. One of our students, Joshua Nguyen (Year 6), is an accomplished musician who has recorded both the Last Post and the Reveille for our school community. We thank Joshua for taking the time to do this for us.... The Ode is recited at ANZAC Day commemorations and is the fourth stanza of Laurence Binyon's For the Fallen, first published in the London Times in 1914. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Lest we forget. #stand4them

08.01.2022 On Monday of Week 4, Year 5 were fortunate enough to have Ranger Jamie and Ranger Mitch visit our school to explore the wonderful world of solids, liquids and gases.
