🙏🏼 HOPE IS ALIVE 🌟 On Monday, our Year 6 students joined other schools in Penrith for ENCOUNTER, a formation day led by Australian Catholic musician Gen Bryant. Through music, prayer, storytelling and reflection, students explored what it means to be created in the image and likeness of God and how we show this each day. Our students unpacked Human Dignity, heard powerful stories of courage and hope, reflected on Gospel messages of love, and ended the day reverently with Eucharistic Adoration. A truly special experience that left our Year 6 leaders inspired, uplifted and filled with HOPE as they begin their final year with brave hearts. ♥️

Year 5 kicked off their Science & Tech unit about energy by exploring how energy transforms in everyday electrical items, wondering, testing and discovering what really makes them work. From there, students jumped into hands‑on circuit challenges, working in teams to make a light bulb glow by creating a complete circuit. Once successful, they captured their learning with clear, labelled circuit diagrams. A brilliant start to our energy investigations this term! 🤩

Year 5 mathematicians were buzzing this week as they tackled a rich “Split 25” reasoning challenge. 🧠✨ Working in triads, students collaborated to test strategies, debate ideas and justify their thinking as they explored how to break a number into parts to create the largest possible product. The depth of discussion was impressive. The depth of discussion and mathematical reasoning was impressive. In Miss Spencer-Salt’s class, students even extended their thinking by representing repeated multiplication using exponents. The Year 5 teachers are so proud of the grit, curiosity and teamwork on display. Each day the students are showing that by actively listening, sharing ideas, asking questions and explaining our reasoning, we can move our thinking forward together. 💫
