In Religion, Stage 2 students have been working hard to answer our driving question “Why are people starving in a world of plenty?”
To answer this question, Stage 2 was lucky enough to have a guest speaker from the Jesuit Social Services visit the classroom and talk about all the amazing things they are doing to help our local community. With this new learning, students decided to create posters aimed at different audiences to help inform our school community about ways that we can help our local community too.
Students decided what items each Stage would be able to donate and presented their posters to their chosen audiences.
Each Stage group has been asked to donate the following items and bring them into the Stage 2 classroom for collection from the Jesuit Social Services on Friday of Week 8. Thank you for your support! We can’t wait to see our donated items helping those in our local community.
Kindergarten:
- Canned Veggies
- Canned Spaghetti
- Cans of Soup
Stage 1:
- Rice Crackers
- Jelly
- Baby Food
Stage 3:
- Cup of Soups
- Cup Noodles
- 2min noodles/Mi Goreng
- Packet Soup: Cream of chicken, Chicken Noodle, Spring Vegetable etc

As part of Year 5’s Science unit, students explored how engineers and inventors use creativity and problem-solving to make everyday life better. Their learning intention was: We are learning how to use design processes to explore opportunities and develop effective solutions. Given only rubber bands, marbles, and a piece of fabric, students worked collaboratively to design inventions that could help people stay cool on hot summer days. From hats and bonnets to neck protectors, and even a handheld fan weighted down by marbles, our young designers showed innovation, teamwork, and critical thinking. Proving that even simple materials can inspire amazing solutions! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
