Our Kindergarten students enjoyed being together for their first excursion to Calmsley Hill City Farm.
The students got to experience different aspects of life on a farm and meeting the different animals that live there.
The children met many farm animals as well as our native animals such as koalas, kangaroos and wombats. They got to participate in milking cows, whip cracking and watching a sheep sheering show, along with a tractor ride around the entire farm.
The hands on element of this excursion was a real highlight for many of the children!
As their teachers we were so delighted to see our students being so involved and trying new experiences, listening and participating throughout the entire day.
We had a wonderful day out!

In Science, students demonstrated their understanding of electrical circuits by creating a circuit and explaining the transfer and transformation of energy with just one flick of a switch. For History, students presented a range of creative projects, including podcasts, videos, dioramas, board games and more, showcasing their understanding of the voting rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and women. Their engaging displays highlighted creativity and hands-on learning and they confidently shared their knowledge with visitors. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and the impressive progress they have made throughout the term.

Today, our St Mary MacKillop Award students participated in a Vinnies Encounter Day, reflecting on the call to build a just and compassionate society. Through meaningful discussions and activities, students explored the message that social justice is a call to love your neighbour and considered how they can put this into action in their everyday lives. The day connected to our upcoming Term 3 Vinnies Winter Sleep-In initiative, highlighting the Catholic Social Teaching principle of solidarity and encouraging students to stand alongside those experiencing hardship in our community. We are proud of the way our students engaged with the day, demonstrating compassion, empathy and a commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
