From the Primary School
Primary Awards Night and Carols
This year we will be combining our Primary Awards Night with our Carols and it will be held in the Fr John Neill OP Gymnasium on Wednesday 5 December at 6:00pm. This will involve the presentation of three awards per class as well as the Year 6 Graduation Ceremony (and of course carols throughout the evening). We hope all families will be able to join us for this special event.
Carly Ryan Foundation
Earlier this week the Carly Ryan Foundation presented to interested parents, information on Online Safety, which is something very pertinent to all families from Primary onwards.
Gaming Seminar
Next Tuesday evening at the University of SA (City West) Cam Adair, the world’s leading authority on gaming addiction and healthy gaming, is presenting a seminar for parents and educators. He will look at how video games are designed to keep young people hooked and the steps to recovery from addiction. Again this is very timely and important in today’s world of online games.

Ballarat Camp
Our Year 5 boys and their teachers are currently on the Ballarat Camp as part of their Goldfields History study. Reports suggest they have settled well, have been behaving, having fun and learning lots. We thank their teachers for giving up their family time to be with them. They will return Friday evening.
Migration Museum Project
Our Year 6 boys completed and displayed their Migration Museum project last Friday. It was a fantastic showcase of their knowledge drawing on family members or friends as their subjects. The details of the lives of these significant people and their stories were as fascinating as they were inspirational. The boys loved doing it and they excelled. Well done boys and teachers!
