Dear Parents and Carers,

Spectacular School Band Performance

Last Monday night, we were treated to a spectacular performance by our talented school band. Under the expert guidance of our wonderful band master, Maddie, the students showcased their hard work and dedication. It was a performance filled with wonderful music, demonstrating the growth and skill the students have developed over the year.

A big thank you to all the parents who attended and supported this special event. Your encouragement plays a huge role in nurturing our young musicians, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements. Well done to everyone involved in making the evening a resounding success!

Exciting SPARK Events

This week has been a whirlwind of creativity, leadership, and learning, with three incredible SPARK events that have enriched our students' experiences.

First, we had a Leadership Day at OLPS West Pymble, where our aspiring student leaders sharpened their skills in teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. It was an inspiring day, and the students left with a renewed sense of confidence and enthusiasm.

Next, students explored the fascinating world of Sacred Geometry at Holy Family, diving into the beauty of mathematical patterns found in nature and art. The workshop sparked curiosity and wonder, revealing the connections between geometry, spirituality, and the natural world.

Finally, the Writing Day at Berowra was a huge success, with students engaging in a range of creative and reflective writing activities. The day provided a fantastic opportunity for students to express their ideas and refine their writing skills. We are so proud of our students for embracing these opportunities with such enthusiasm!

Invitation to Our Dancing Showcase Performance in MacKillop Hall

Next Tuesday, 24th September we are excited to invite all parents to a special Dancing Showcase Performance! Our students, led by Jai from Zing Activ, have been working hard to perfect their moves and can't wait to share their skills with you.

The showcase promises to be a fun-filled event, highlighting the students' passion for dance and teamwork. We look forward to seeing you there to support and celebrate your children’s fantastic efforts!
