Last Thursday, two of our Year 6 students Cielo and Monique participated in the Blacktown Cluster Voice of Youth Final against 6 other competitors from 3 different schools within the Blacktown area.
Although the girls were nervous, they presented their speeches with poise and confidence. There were a variety of speeches that informed, persuaded and entertained the audience. The contestants were judged on the content of their speech, their use of voice and gestures and the overall effectiveness of their speech to engage the audience.
We are so proud of Monique and Cielo for representing our school in the Blacktown Voice of Youth Finals. Congratulations to Monique who came runner up in our cluster final! A fantastic effort by both girls!

ASH WEDNESDAY is always a special time in our liturgical calendar. A time that marks the start of LENT - taking the time to prepare for Easter. Time to think about how we can make a positive difference to the lives of others. Jesus sacrificed everything for us, so how can we find ways to show gratitude for his sacrifice!!! πβοΈπβοΈπβοΈπβοΈπβοΈ

Our kids have had a great month celebrating with family and friends, eating out at restaurants, going to Luna Park & Lasor Tag; having parties at home; eating some fabulous cakes; and receiving some pretty fabulous gifts including LEGO, a new phone, even a present from their Year 6 Buddy! However they have celebrated, their smiles tell the stories!! ππππππ₯³ππ

Last week I had to shift my support to the NRL because we had the Parramatta Eels come out to school to talk about positive wellbeing and of course promote the game of Rugby League. While Iβm not an Eels fan we certainly had a few fans around and I loved listening to the players and the positive advice they had for our students!!! BTW our kids asked some pretty AMAZING questions - we were so proud of them!!! ππππππππππ
