District Swimming 2021

District Swimming 2021

Comments 1 comment

Yesterday (25th of February) 19 students from the years 4-6 went to Kilsyth Centenary Pool to compete in the Knox District Interschool Swimming championships.

Each Tuesday and Thursday morning since the beginning of term students went to Knox Leisureworks pool to tryout and practice our swimming so we were ready to compete.

Overall, it was an excellent result with Holy Trinity and St. Mary’s getting third place. Everyone swam amazingly and displayed great sportsmanship to the other schools.  18 of our students did such a good job that they will move onto the next level of competition –  Division Swimming that will take place on 3rd of March.

Thanks to Mr D, Mrs Rickard and the parents who helped set up and supported all the swimmers.

What A Time At Waratah Bay!!

What A Time At Waratah Bay!!

Comments 1 comment

This week the year 5/6’s were lucky enough to go to Waratah Bay Beach Camp for an amazing 3 days. Some of the activities we participated in were surfing, the giant swing, aeroball, dolphin dodge, rockpooling and the disco. The food was delicious (particularly the of pancakes where we got to play the pancake frisbee game), the staff were nice and the beds were comfy. But I think everyone most enjoyed surfing and the disco most of all!

Thank you to all our wonderful teachers and the HT and St. Mary’s staff for their organisations and for helping to make camp such a memorable experience.

Here are a few pictures from our camp experience.

It was great having everyone back at school this week.

We are experimenting with new equipment to record the Assemblies and due to technical difficulties, children receiving awards were not ‘captured in the frame’.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Ash Wednesday Prayer Service

Ash Wednesday Prayer Service

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, which lasts for six weeks.

We call it Ash Wednesday because many, many Christians around the world receive a cross of ashes on their foreheads.

Although, this year we can’t place a cross of ashes on our forehead, we invite families to prepare themselves for the Season of Lent by using this Ash Wednesday Prayer Service.

Artists ‘Make their Mark’ in the Art Room

Artists ‘Make their Mark’ in the Art Room

In the Art room students listened to ‘The Dot’ by Phillip Reynolds. They discussed ways they can ‘Make a mark’ in the Art room and at a deeper level, making a mark in life. Such thoughtful and insightful discussions on choosing to be kind and always doing their best.
The display includes a dot from every student from 1-6. Prep B and 6 Blue students created Dotty paper for the letters. It looks amazing and is in the Great Space. Prep Y will create their dots next week.
Well done to our amazing artists.

The students are very excited to share with you the link to the ‘Natale at HT’ showcase. It was very sad that we couldn’t participate in this year’s whole school concert so this was a way in which the students could still be part of a performance.
