Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

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.

😀 Year 4 History Excursion! 🏛️ Year 4 had a wonderful day on Wednesday exploring The Rocks and discovering its rich history! Our adventure began with plenty of laughter as some cheeky ibis birds tried to steal the students' snacks! 🐦😂 The students then stepped back in time by dressing up as convicts, Captain James Cook, and free settlers before setting off to explore many of the historic sites they have been learning about in class. It was a fantastic day filled with hands-on learning, curiosity, and lots of fun! We are so proud of the way our Year 4 students represented our school throughout the excursion. ⭐
