Year 2 have been experimenting with plants in class recently by looking at how missing nutrients, water, warmth and sunlight change how they grow.
The students have planted new seeds to see the difference in how they will grow if something important is missing. They also looked at how water travels through roots and stems of various plants.
It is also exciting to see some of our broad bean plants growing!

🚜 Highlight of Week 1: Year 2 Steps Back in Time at Rouse Hill Farm! 📜 What a fantastic way to kick off the new term! The highlight of our first week back was Year 2's excursion to Rouse Hill Farm, where our young historians put their detective skills to work. 🌾 As part of their History unit on communication and evidence from the past, students got hands-on with real artifacts, old buildings, and historical clues. It was incredible watching them ask big questions and compare life then and now! 🕵️♀️✨ A huge thank you to our wonderful parent helpers who assisted on the day, we couldn't have done it without you! ❤️

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

💛💙❤️ Mufti Day for Venezuela! ❤️💙💛 Today, our school community came together for a fantastic cause! Everyone looked absolutely brilliant trading in their usual uniforms for the bright yellow, blue, and red of the Venezuelan flag. We held this mufti day to show our support for the families in Venezuela who have been affected by the recent earthquake. Through our partnership with Caritas Australia, all funds raised will go directly to Caritas Venezuela to provide emergency relief, food, and essential supplies to those who need it most. A massive thank you to all of our incredible staff, parents, and friends for your wonderful generosity. So far, we have raised $4,858! What a fantastic way to end the term! Thank you all for showing such inspiring community spirit. We wish everyone a safe, happy, and restful break. See you next term! 👋✨
