Education in Faith
In Education in Faith this term, we have been looking at two main topics: Confirmation & the Holy Spirit, and 'Pilgrims of Hope'. Students have done some fantastic work in this area, including a deep dive into the Bible for some passages relating to the Holy Spirit, and an exploration of Saints, such as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, who embody the values of our Jubilee theme. A huge congratulations as well to the Grade 6 students who received the sacrament of Confirmation last weekend. It was a beautiful service.
Water Safety Day at PARC
On Friday of Week 5, the Grade 5/6 students went to the PARC swimming pool to learn all about water safety. We did activities about DRS.ABCD, how to help someone who is drowning, and what to do if a boat sinks. The instructors showed us different rescue techniques and explained why it’s important to stay calm in an emergency. We also got to play a basketball game in the water, which was my favourite activity. I really enjoyed going to the pool and learning new skills that could help keep people safe.
Literacy - Theatre Edition!
This term, students have been studying scripts in Reading, and then created their own in Writing. Last Friday, we performed the plays (which all had a social story theme) for the Prep students. It was really amazing to see so many students standing up and performing confidently, the vast majority not even needing their scripts!
