Last Thursday, Kindergarten welcomed Fr Joseph to our Learning space for a special visit! ✨ The students had the opportunity to share what they have been learning about 'How God is present in our world' and ask Fr Joseph any questions they had about their learning and faith. As October is the Month of the Holy Rosary, Fr Joseph also blessed the Rosary Beads the students received. 💙 As a school community, we have been praying a decade of the Rosary each morning, deepening our faith and growing closer to Mary and Jesus. We are grateful to Fr Joseph for taking the time to visit our Kindergarten students and support them on their faith journey. 🕊️

While the weather stopped Year 3 going out to an excursion, the good news is that they didn't miss out on the explosive fun! Ranger Jamie Tours brought the excursion to school instead, and Year 3 enjoyed an exciting, educational and explosive day full of science experiments and learning!

🦆☀️ Kindergarten Ducklings! ☀️🦆 Our Kindergarten students have loved watching our ducklings grow while learning all about living things in Science! Yesterday, the ducklings enjoyed a swim outside in the sunshine, and the students were lucky enough to gently pat them and feel their soft feathers. What a wonderful hands-on learning experience! 🐣
