Around The Primary
Dear Parents
Primary House Day has been absolutely fabulous!
It is always a special event and today the Primary community celebrated Primary in fine style!! We began our celebrations with a lovely Mass. During this time students, staff and visitors all reflected and learnt about the names behind the Houses, namely Campion, Koolyangarra, Loreto, Loyola, St Louis and Ward, which are such an important part of our College heritage.
Well done to everyone for their efforts with Primary House Day. Special thanks to Ms Allen for preparing the lovely liturgy and to all our hardworking staff for planning the fantastic activities and games.
Congratulations to the Year 6 Leaders who put so much effort into their stalls for the Monster Cake Stall. As with our tradition during Lent the monies raised from the stalls will be donated to Project Compassion. We raised a total of $1,410.05 for Project Compassion which was a fantastic effort.
The Interschool Swimming Squad enjoyed participating in the IPSHA Swimming Carnival at Newman College on Thursday morning. Our appreciation is extended to Mr Alderman and to all the staff and parents that supported this event. More information will follow next week about the record breaking results.
Well done to all our competitors.

Muffin Monday
Last weekend many Year 4 parents and students were busy making muffins for Muffin Monday. These delicious sweet and savoury muffins were gratefully received by The Shopfront and will be shared with all their visitors.

Robotics
Every Wednesday after school, a small group of Years 4-6 students gather in the Mackillop Room to explore Lego, robotics and coding. This extra-curricular opportunity known as ‘Young Engineers Club’ is provided by e2 Young Engineers Perth. In Term 1, the students learnt how to build and control (using coding) a parking gate, ferris wheel, a lazy donkey, dancing cheerleader and more. In Term 2, they will be working on all new projects.
There will be places for five new students to join this activity in Term 2. If your child is in Years 4-6 and would be interested to participate, please contact e2 Young Engineers Perth directly. There is a fee for participating.
