Shared Learning // National Science Week provided an excellent opportunity for shared learning this term. Our Senior Biology class hosted a Science Fair for students and staff. Biology students displayed their HSC Depth Studies and classes from both primary and secondary visited to hear about their investigations and explore other scientific activities. It was a great time of shared learning about God's world and a wonderful way for senior students to connect with the younger members of the school community.

Drama Excursion // Our Year 10 Drama class were privileged to see The Sydney Theatre Company's performance of Julia at the Sydney Opera House today. Besides being a glorious day to be on Sydney Harbour, our students thoroughly enjoyed Justine Clarke's powerful portrayal of Julia Gillard in the sellout show touted as "both a compelling insight into the person behind the public mask, and a reflection on the experience of women in contemporary politics."
Here are some of their reflections on the performance:
"I thought the performance was very innovative compared to how I had imagined monologues. The use of video, images, and reflections on the mirrors allowed the audience to view different angles and perspectives of the performance. It gave me a new point of view on how minimalist theatre can achieve maximum impact." – LH
"I found the Q&A helpful. It allowed us to get the actors' views on their characters." – AM
"I found it interesting to learn more about our history." – JB
"The lighting, sound and effects were absolutely amazing." – IF
"Justine Clarke is Queen." – MM
"It gave me a new perspective on how monologues can be performed." – HM
"I loved seeing Justine Clarke. I even got to tell her that." – AT
"Courage is power, but power is not courage." – EB

Book Week Celebration // Our Primary students and their families enjoyed sharing the miracle of reading yesterday at our Book Week Celebration. It was wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents and friends at this event and catch up with you over coffee and morning tea. A huge thank you to parents and students for getting into the spirit of the occasion with an array of spectacular costumes! Thanks also to our primary staff for turning out in form and performing a reader's theatre for us. Even our non-teaching staff joined the celebration by sharing their favourite children's stories and poems with classes after recess.💚
We are grateful to The Wandering Bookseller for visiting on the day. Many wonderful children's books have been donated for our partner school in Vanuatu so that we can share the miracle of reading beyond the boundaries of our school gate. It's not too late to donate! Bring your new (or as-new) books to the Office by Friday, 6 September.
