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, Year 5 students took part in their Leadership Day — a special opportunity to reflect on the leadership roles they will undertake in 2026. Guided by Mark 14:12–26, students drew inspiration from Scripture as they engaged in activities such as journaling, biblical micrography, and imaginative contemplation. The day concluded with a meaningful in-class liturgy. A special thank you to our Year 6 leaders who shared their insights and words of wisdom about their current roles, inspiring Year 5 to begin preparing their own leadership applications with confidence and enthusiasm.

Our Year 6 students had an incredible two days in Canberra, exploring Australia’s capital and learning so much along the way! From touring Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial to enjoying the fun and science at Questacon, it was an unforgettable experience full of discovery, teamwork, and laughter. 🚌
