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.

Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Today, as we rejoice in the Resurrection, we are reminded of God's love, which triumphs over darkness, sin, and death. Christ is risen, alleluia! This is the core of our Easter delight and the basis of our hope. By His resurrection, we are also called to rise. We are encouraged to emerge from the tombs of our own shortcomings, hopelessness, or indifference, guided by the light of Christ that leads us to a new beginning.

On this day, we commemorate the joyful arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, where he was warmly welcomed by a crowd waving palm branches, a symbol of victory and harmony. Palm Sunday holds great importance in the Catholic Church as it signifies the start of Holy Week and Jesus' willingness to embark on his sacrificial path for the redemption of humanity. As we approach the solemn contemplation of Holy Week, may this Palm Sunday instill in your heart a sense of optimism, modesty, and a reinvigorated commitment to your faith.
