As part of Year 6 writing this term we have been working on letter writing. We decided to give purpose to our work by writing letters to serving Australian Soldiers that will be away from home at Christmas.
We also found out about an initiative that Australia Post facilitates where you can send Care Packages overseas with treats for the soldiers.
We started a collection of items such as…. Candy Canes, lollies, toiletries, puzzle books, magazines, food items and card games.
Our goal was to fill two post boxes. One for a male soldier and one for a female soldier. Through many generous donations, we managed to fill a total of 7 boxes. 3 of those boxes were filled with toys and dog treats for our hard working, bomb sniffer dogs and their handlers.
Our hope and prayers are that our small actions will bring great joy, happiness and comfort to our men and women serving overseas, who are sacrificing such a lot to make a difference in this world.

Week 8 wrap up! What a wonderful and busy week we've had! Students have been working so hard and showing such great effort across all areas of their learning—we’re so proud of them! 📝 In writing, students have been building their confidence by planning and creating thoughtful pieces. ✝️ In religion, students spent time attending private Reconciliation with Father Peter. Students also reflected on their scripture through artworks. ➕ In Math, the focus was on mass. Students have been practicing their skills with hands-on activities and games. They're showing fantastic progress! 😀 Happy Hour- Student enjoyed the sunshine with Mr Crawford as they shared all their hard learning. 💛 For R U OK? Day, we took time to talk about looking out for one another and the importance of checking in with our friends and loved ones. The students showed great maturity and care as they reflected on how we can support each other with kindness and listening ears. 🏉 In sport, we had lots of fun playing touch football! It was a great chance to build teamwork, practice our movement skills, and enjoy being active together. # Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese05 Sep 2025

Father's Day Celebrations This morning our school community came together to celebrate Father’s Day with a heart-warming event. The day started with a delicious BBQ breakfast, where fathers, grandfathers, and father figures enjoyed good food and great company. It was a joyful time filled with laughter, conversations, and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal together. Following breakfast, everyone gathered in the hall for a beautiful liturgy. The liturgy was a meaningful moment to reflect on the important role fathers play in our lives. Students and staff participated with heartfelt prayers and songs, creating a warm and respectful atmosphere. The Father’s Day celebration was a wonderful opportunity to honour and appreciate the dads in our school community. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special! # Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
