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!

🏙️ Numeracy Enrichment – Mathematicians Become Architects! 📐 Our Numeracy Enrichment students stepped into the role of architects this week! Students were challenged to design an apartment between 50 and 70 m², carefully considering room sizes, layout and functionality. They then explored how their designs could be translated, reflected and rotated. To finish, students presented their designs to Miss Paul and Miss Deloso, who had the difficult job of selecting their favourite design! 🏆 Next step: students will use their chosen design to create an entire floor of an apartment complex using transformations. But there’s a last-minute twist from the developer… one apartment must be dilated by a scale factor of 2! 😲🏢 We can’t wait to see how our young architects solve their next challenge! 📐
