This term, during our Religious Education lessons, Stage 3 have been learning about various faith communities in our local area.
Using Google maps, students were encouraged to explore various Christian churches around our local community.
As part of our inquiry process, students have been engaged in many learning activities that will help them answer our driving question - What makes a Church and how does it strive for Christian unity?
Students researched various Christian churches and participated in a ‘Jigsaw’ activity where they became ‘experts’ on a particular Chrisitian church. Students worked in collaborative learning groups where they discussed similarities and differences between the worship and ministries of the Catholic, Anglican and Uniting Churches.
Stage 3 has also been introduced into the world of music and dance. Students have been learning to play and move to a range of music, individually and in groups, demonstrating and identifying their knowledge of musical concepts.
Students have been shown different styles of music and asked to respond how they would react to each style of song. Stage have also enjoyed working together in their groups creating a song using GarageBand to build their understanding of music and dance.

Last Friday was so much fun at the Athletics Carnival! The kids were smiling, the teachers were smiling and the parents were smiling. While students got to showcase their sporting skills, it’s also important to remember this is also an opportunity to practice resilience! We can not always be the best or the fastest, but we can all be ‘good sports’, be resilient and celebrate each other! Infants photos to come. 💛🏃🏃♀️🏃🏾♂️🎽👟💨

Congratulations to all our beautiful Stage 3 students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation - the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, last night. Fr Fernando shared the lovely story of the child who was walking along a beach returning stranded starfish back to the sea. And when he was asked why is he wasting his time you can’t make a difference because there are so many, the child responded with “Well I just made a difference to that one!!!” God has called each one of you to make a positive difference in our world, no matter how small, with the help of the Holy Spirit. And we are here to help you honour that mission. God bless you all!! 💛🔥🌏💛🔥🌏💛🔥🌏💛🔥🌏
