Crazy Socks & Mission Sundaes Day Success!
Celebrating Creativity, Community, and Generosity
What a vibrant, fun-filled, and memorable day we had at our Crazy Socks and Mission Sundaes Day! The school was buzzing with excitement, colourful footwear and delicious treats as our community came together for a wonderful cause.
A Massive Community Effort
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our students and families, we raised a total of $400! These funds will go directly towards supporting children in Malawi, making a real difference in their lives.
Big Thanks to Year 6
A special shout-out and huge thank you to our Year 6 students. Not only did they take care of all the shopping for the delicious sundae toppings, but they also gave up their lunch break to serve ice-cream sundaes to the entire school. Your leadership, efficiency and cheerful service made the event run smoothly and brought huge smiles to everyone's faces!
Poster Competition Winners
We were deeply honoured to welcome Regina Menz, Director of Armidale Catholic Schools, as our special guest judge for the poster competition. The creative talent across all grades made judging a tough task!
Congratulations to our individual class winners:
| Class / Stage | Winner |
|---|---|
| K/1 | Liam |
| Year 4 | Alex |

Soccer Goal Penalty Shootout Champions
The excitement continued on the oval with our high-energy soccer goal penalty shootout. Students cheered each other on in a fantastic display of sportsmanship.
Congratulations to Penola, who took out first place in the shootout! As a reward for their grand victory, students from Penola earned extra play time.
Thank you once again to all our students, parents and staff for supporting such a joyful and successful day!
