Last Friday night, some of our Stage 3 students were joined by their peers from St Canice’s, Katoomba and Our Lady of the Nativity, Lawson for the Vinnies Winter Sleep out. The night offered them the opportunity to have just a small glimpse of the challenges faced by those who are experiencing homelessness — a reality that’s not a choice. Thank you to Roydon Ng and Kim Crawford from Vinnies for making this experience more enriching for our students by speaking to them about homelessness. 💙 Thank you for supporting this opportunity to grow in empathy and understanding. You can continue to help by donating to the Vinnies Winter Appeal through our upcoming Pyjama Day 💤👕 via the QKR! app 📲. 🧊 Cold and bare? Show your care — boots to wear! 👢

Today, we had a police officer come and talk to our students about how to be safe online. Students attended in three groups - K-2, 3-4 and 5-6 with the message and content appropriate to the age of the students and how they might be using devices and being online. The program has been developed by the Federal Police and is called ‘ThinkUKnow’. More information and resources visit the ThinkUKnow website. Students have been encouraged to come home and talk to their families about what they’ve learned about being safe online including their profile/usernames, who they communicate with online, what they might post and how to get help.

A fabulous day was had by all last Thursday at our school Athletics carnival. It was a glorious day in the mountains where our students displayed great sportsmanship as they strove to do their best in their races, field events and tableau games. There was such a positive vibe as we danced and ran and played with our peers. Today, we are holding our 100m finals at Columba Oval. Good luck to those who are running today.

Our students from years 3 and 5 took a moment to 'Bridge Now to Then' by coming together to read some Indigenous books as part of our learning during National Reconciliation Week (NRW)—a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements and explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
