Dance students impressed the crowd with a range of dazzling performances
Hundreds of students from 35 primary and secondary Catholic schools from across the Diocese showcased their creative talents in a series of music, dance and strings performances throughout June, culminating in the ‘Best Of’ performance on 23 June
The showcase events demonstrated the high calibre of choral, music and dance work from Catholic schools, under the Parramatta Diocese’s creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE.The program provides learning and performance experiences for students, as well as builds expertise and a sense of community across the system. CAPTIVATE is very popular with five new schools joining the program since last year.

Stage 2 students had a fantastic time during our Geography incursion today, exploring how and why places are similar and different. We took part in a range of engaging activities, from designing safe habitats for a blue-tongue lizard or quokka, to investigating temperature differences in various places, and learning about our impact on oceans and rivers. A highlight of the day was a fun and competitive race that put our new knowledge to the test. We were lucky to have the sun shine on us, making the experience even more enjoyable. A big thank you to Ranger Jamie for an informative and exciting day! Please enjoy some photos of 4M ☀️

Year 4 took their learning outdoors today, exploring the playground to discover symmetry in the world around them. From the matching halves of leaves to a range of playground equipment, the children spotted and sketched real-life examples of symmetrical shapes. It was a fun, hands-on way to bring their classroom learning to life!
