18.01.2022 Congratulations to the Stage 3 students for being selected to submit their artworks for the Sacred Art Competition. The St Marthas entries will be judged alongside entries from across Sydney Catholic Primary Schools.

18.01.2022 Years 5 and 6 have had a truly egg-citing egg-sperience this week diving into the Deep Blue of National Science Week. Not only was it loads of fun, but we learnt so much about the acidification of our oceans. We discovered that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forms carbonic acid in our oceans and this leads to the destruction of coral, shells and marine life. We simulated this awful situation by soaking eggs in vinegar to dissolve their shells and then conducted a fair test on the effects of Osmosis which significantly increased or decreased the size of our eggs by leaving overnight in water or salt. We now have a much greater understanding of the urgent need to decrease our carbon dioxide emissions!

17.01.2022 Yr 1 learnt about the Assumption of Mary and had lots of fun making some crafty images with our family educator.

17.01.2022 Today Kindergarten celebrated their 100th day of school! They had a wonderful time dressing up as a 100 year old and doing fun activities!

17.01.2022 Have a look at the great job Year 1 have done researching, designing and creating a natural habitat for different animals! Well done Year 1

15.01.2022 Did you know that growing your own food can benefit the planet? Year 2 contributed to a healthier planet by planting their own lettuce seeds. Marina Qutab suggests the easiest way to imagine how growing your own food reduces your carbon footprint, is to think of food production and distribution in terms of an empty jar. The fuller the jar is, the greater the environmental impact as there are more components involved in producing your food and bringing your food to your plate.... We can't wait to taste your crunchy lettuce!!

15.01.2022 Let's see how much CO2 we can all save at St Martha's with just one change to our lifestyle.

15.01.2022 St Marthas Day was celebrated with our buddies. We had a fun filled day where we participated in creative activities organised by our teachers and SRC students. Our special day was underpinned by the Gospel story of Mary and Martha which was re-enacted by our students during our liturgy celebrated with Father Jack.

12.01.2022 Yr 3/ 4G discovered that the changing climate and floating plastic materials in the sea can have a serious impact on marine turtle populations. After careful planning, they got to work very quickly to create a new habitat for these turtles, so they can stay safe.

11.01.2022 This term in history, 3/4 White are learning about traditional life for the Aboriginal People before the European settlers came to Australia.
