On the 16th of September year 1 had the privilege to go and see the residence at the Summitcare center in St Marys.
Year One had a great time sharing their writing about schools in today's society as well as telling them some of their favorite school stories and books to read.
SummitCare is a family-owned business that has supported the community for generations. In 1966 it was a solitary nursing home in Sydney, caring for the individual needs of older people with a warm and caring community approach. Now it has grown larger and is home to many individuals within the SummitCare community.
Residents within the home were filled with joy in their hearts as they enjoyed the conversations with the students, exchanging what school was like for them growing up along with some of their own school tales and experiences.
Staff and students are eager to visit again to read and exchange more fun stories and novels.

Today our school community gathered for a meaningful ANZAC Day Liturgy. ✝️ We honoured the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. We remembered the more than 8,000 Australians and over 2,500 New Zealanders who gave their lives, and we reflected on their courage, sacrifice, and perseverance in the face of great hardship. ANZAC Day reminds us not only of the past, but of our call today—to be people of peace. Peace in our world, in our communities, in our families, and in our own hearts. Lest we forget. 🌺

On Thursday our school community gathered in prayer and reflection for our Holy Week Liturgy, where our students led us through the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through heartfelt readings and songs our students beautifully reflected on the love and sacrifice of Jesus, and the joy and hope that His resurrection brings to each of us. Thank you to our teachers and parents/family members for walking this Easter journey with us. May the light and love of the risen Christ remain in our hearts long after this holy season. Wishing all our families a blessed and joyful Easter!

On Thursday our students and staff walked together in solidarity with the millions of people around the world who travel long distances every day just to collect water. Buckets in hand, our students got a real sense of what that journey feels like. Throughout the walk, students paused at reflection stations to think about how they can Unite Against Poverty as part of Caritas Australia's Project Compassion this Lent. We are so proud of the empathy, compassion, and community spirit shown by every single one of them. If you'd like to support Project Compassion and help your child add a decorated water drop to our school display, donations are still open via the link below. Every contribution makes a difference! https://tinyurl.com/24vuj833
