Last Tuesday 27 March children in Years 2-6 competed in the Annual St Paul’s Cross Country
Due to the wet weather this day was moved from Gooden Reserve to the school grounds. We were fortunate the Mother Nature was on our side and the sun was shining. One student excelled in this event by managing to lap the other students in her event.
Congratulations to the children who have progressed to the Diocesan Cross Country in Term 2 held at Eastern Creek. These children will be competing against children from the Cumberland, Blacktown, Hills and Nepean dioceses. We look forward to hearing how you go at this event.
Running events like this encourage children to improve their cardiovascular health and with the current bad press of childhood obesity, St Paul’s encourages everyone to be actively involved. Even though this event is a school event, the children are competing against themselves and trying to achieve their own personal bests.
Thank you to all of the parents/grandparents who came along on the day to support our students. Days like this cannot be held without your support.

π’ Important Update: SOCIAL MEDIA BAN for Under-16s Starting December 10, new rules will come into effect that prohibit under-16s from creating or keeping accounts on age-restricted social media platforms. π Why this change? Research shows that being logged into social media accounts can increase exposure to pressures and risks, such as upsetting or manipulative content, due to how platforms are designed. These changes aim to give young people more time to build digital literacy, impulse control, critical thinking and resilience before entering these online spaces. π§ While many platforms currently set 13 as the minimum age, this shift to 16 is about providing more time for healthy development in a digital world. π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ With just over two months to go, now is a great time to start conversations at home. Talk with your child about what this change means, how they feel about it and how you can support them.27 Sep 2025
