Trinity Primary School along with St John's Primary in Riverstone thought outside the box when it came to Catholic Schools Week this year. These celebrations were ‘food for thought’ for both of these outstanding Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta learning communities.
Each school set out to show everyone their amazing learning spaces and highlight their sense of community with some fun and educational activities.
St John’s Primary focused on helping the less fortunate by raising funds for Caritas Australia.
St John’s Primary Assistant Principal Jackie Willard said students carried buckets of water in solidarity with those who need to carry water just to survive.
"The students could taste this food and all money raised went to Caritas. Our parents were then invited to open classrooms."
"It was a fabulous couple of days with fantastic community participation.’
Here at Trinity Primary School, we had lots of fun with our ‘Pop Up’ learning activities each morning.
Trinity Primary Principal Cathy Hey said they began the week with teachers sharing their favourite picture books.
"On Tuesday the children arrived at school to see a makerspace pop up and a water painting pop up,’’ Mrs Hey said.
"On Wednesday the children did some hands-on mathematics with a life-size carrot patch.’’
Overall both schools had a fantastic time celebrating Catholic Schools Week and their enthusiasm attracted a lot of positive community engagement.

FAITH IN ACTION FIAT Students Show Faith in Action Through Service Last Wednesday the 30th July our FIAT demonstrated true compassion and community spirit by making sandwiches for St Vincent de Paul. This simple yet powerful act of kindness is a perfect example of our school motto, "In giving we receive." With joy and purpose, students prepared dozens of fresh sandwiches to be delivered to those in need within our wider community. It was more than just a practical task – it was an opportunity to live out their faith and put love into action. Through this initiative, our FIAT team continues to lead by example, reminding us all that small acts of service can make a big difference. # Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
