St Francis Xavier’s Primary School
Stage 3 Personal Development Sessions
Last week, we welcomed Mrs Margie Burns from Narrabri Community Health into our classrooms to run personal development sessions with our Stage 3 students. Aligned with the PDHPE syllabus, the sessions explored physical and emotional changes associated with puberty, promoting open communication, and offering practical advice on topics like hygiene and body image.
Thank you, Mrs Burns, for sharing your knowledge and supporting our students through this important stage.
Crazy Hair & Silly Sock Day
Crazy hair, silly socks and plenty of smiles as students and staff showed off their wild hairstyles and quirky socks for our Crazy Hair and Silly Sock Day fundraiser last week.
Our Living Well, Learning Well representatives also held a stall at recess and lunch, selling a delicious variety of treats, with all proceeds supporting Catholic Mission’s Socktober.
Thank you to our families for their generosity, we raised over $725!! Your donations will help children in Malawi access food and education, giving them the chance to build a brighter future.
St Mary's College Year 7 Transition
Last Friday, St Mary's College held their first full day transition session for those commencing Year 7 next year. Grouped into their sports houses for next year, students enjoyed a range of activities, from Bunsen burners in Science and Battleships in History and Geography to dyeing fabric in Art and exploring the Library. The afternoon brought all transition students together for a fun game of 'Capture the Flag'.
ICAS RESULTS
The students who participated in the ICAS Assessments last term were presented with their certificates at assembly last Friday. Well done to all the students who participated!!
Year 2
Year 2 recently welcomed Miss Maddy into their classroom to explore Aboriginal peoples’ relationships with Country and the natural environment. Students learnt about managed and constructed features of the Australian landscape, particularly before European settlement.
They then brought their learning to life by creating artworks of the Mount Kaputar skyline using native flora collected from our cultural garden, connecting their creativity with the local landscape.
Year 1 - Photography
Our Year 1 students have been exploring photography using their Chromebook cameras. They experimented with camera angles and zoom to capture different perspectives of something of a specific colour, something to sit on, a verb, a noun, a friend and their favourite thing in the classroom. Each student then chose their favourite photograph to present to the class.
Rememberance Day Prayer Assembly
Today, we remember all those who have given their lives to protect and preserve the lives of all Australians. Let us make sure that their supreme sacrifice is never forgotten.
At school, we gathered under the COLA for our Remembrance Day prayer assembly. We paid our respects as we listened to In Flanders Fields and the Ode of Remembrance.
Our School Captains and Vice Captains represented St Francis Xavier’s at the Remembrance Day service at the Narrabri RSL. Two Year 6 students were also invited to sing with Mrs Harvey at the service.
Lest we forget.
