Year 1 students recently had an exciting excursion to the Calmsley Hill City Farm. As part of the excursion, students learned about everything from how milk is processed to the importance of our farmers
Calmsley Hill City Farm is a farm-based attraction, close to the heart of Sydney, where children can enjoy a variety of exciting shows and exhibits.
There were many highlights including endless encounters with cute farm animals, as well as exploring what’s involved in life as a farmer. The students also learned about the importance of environmental sustainability for ensuring that our animals are healthy.
The excursion demonstrated the great talent of farmers through their entertaining and insightful farm shows. Students were filled with excitement watching the farm dog show rounding up hundreds of sheep, all by itself!
Once the guided tour is complete students will have time to relax and enjoy their lunch before spending the early afternoon watching our farming demonstrations which include our Stockwhip shop, as well as our Working Dog and Shearing demonstration.
At the end of the day, all of the students left with happy faces and a whole lot of knowledge about what it's like to be a farmer as well as the impact that farmers have on our lives.

Miss Gray and some of our Year 5 and 6 students had a wonderful time taking part in the Socktober Launch! 🧦⚽ The day was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness about people experiencing disadvantage and to encourage our students to think about the importance of compassion, service and social justice. Our students connected with teams from across CSPD, participated in a range of activities, created their very own Sockballs and wrote prayers for hope for those in need. It was a meaningful day filled with faith, fun and advocacy, reminding us that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 💙

You might have noticed some changes in our social media! St Paul’s have recently made a few changes to the way we share photos and videos of the children online. While you may see a few more photos from a distance or from behind please know that this is all part of our commitment to keeping the children safe and protecting their privacy online. We will still be sharing plenty of the wonderful learning, celebrations, activities and special moments happening across our school. We are just be getting a little more creative with how we capture them! Our teachers and staff are following updated guidelines for sharing images. Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to create a safe and positive digital environment. We will still be giving you plenty of little glimpses into the things happening at our school!
