The best-selling Captain Underpants books have continued to be popular at the school library as a result of the recent movie.
Students have also been enjoying our ‘spooky stories’ this term with the children borrowing these on library days.
In our Information Literacy lessons in Stage 1 we have been changing story endings and Kindys have been drawing comparative themes of stories.

Last Friday our school was a sea of orange as we celebrated Harmony Day! ๐งก As a Catholic school, we are guided by our values of love, respect, and inclusion, which were beautifully reflected throughout the day. Our students proudly wore orange to show that everyone belongs and took part in a special activity by creating and planting handprints - symbolising unity, respect, and the strength of our diverse community growing together. We are so proud of our students for embracing kindness, inclusion, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. Together, we continue to build a school where every voice is valued and everyone feels they belong. #HarmonyDay #EveryoneBelongs #CelebrateDiversity

Yesterday, our school community gathered in faith and unity to celebrate Ash Wednesday and mark the beginning of Lent. We joined in prayer to begin our Lenten journey together as a school family. Lent is a special time in which we prepare our hearts for Easter. During this sacred season, we unite with Catholic communities throughout the world, continuing the rich traditions of the Church. As we received ashes in the sign of the cross, we were reminded that God is calling us to forgive, to be free from what holds us back, and to help bring hope and peace to others. The ashes are a powerful symbol of reflection, renewal, and Godโs endless mercy. May this Lenten season be a time of growth, compassion, and faith for each member of our community as we journey toward Easter together. โ๏ธ๐ #olnlawson #cspd2026 #AshWednesday #windowintolearning
