Earth Hour & World Water Day
Next Friday Holy Family are participating in Earth Hour AND World Water Day!
During this day we will create a memorable and impactful learning experience that will encourage our students to become passionate for environmental sustainability. For one-hour lights and technology will be switched off and our wonderful teachers will carry our lessons in a new and adventurous way!
This is a wonderful opportunity to teach our students that collectively our actions, no matter how small, they can have a significant impact on our planet!
2024 Premier's Reading Challenge
The NSW Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is now open and Holy Family is excited to be participating!
The PRC is a statewide Challenge that encourages students to develop a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students and enables them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition, but a challenge to encourage each student to read, to read more, and to read more widely.
How many books do students need to read?
K- Year 2 Students are challenged to read or experience 30 books. 20 of these books must be from the relevant Challenge booklists, and up to 10 books can be personal choice books. Books can be read with a parent, carer, teacher or another student.
Year 3 - 6 Students are challenged to read 20 books independently. At least 10 of these books must be from the relevant Challenge booklists, and up to 10 books can be personal choice books.
If a book is from an approved PRC series, students can enter up to 5 books as Challenge books, and can read up to 10 other books from the same series as Personal Choice books. More information on the rules of the Challenge can be found on the PRC website.
Books must be added to a student’s online reading record by Friday 23 August 2024 in order for their reading record to be validated and receive a certificate.
How do students log their reading?
Students can access the PRC’s Student Experience site using their DoE username and password, or can log into the site via the Student Portal. A video guide explaining how to use the Student Experience site can be found here.
