25.01.2022 Year 1 students have been investigating how games and toys from the past are different to those we play with today. Miss Antonina taught some of us how to play hopscotch, knuckle bones (jacks) and marbles this week. What games do you remember from your childhood?

21.01.2022 In Religious Education, Year 4 is learning about how Mary, Mother of God and Mary MacKillop listened to God and how the Church honours these special women. Students are learning Marian prayers devoted to Mary, have the opportunity to celebrate Mary MacKillops feast Day and are constructing biographies on these women in English. Some of our favourite quotes from Mary MacKillop are: We are all but travellers here Believe the whisperings of God in your own heart Find happiness ...in making others happy Never see a need without doing something about it What is your favourite quote from Mary MacKillop?
