On Friday the 1st of November we held our first Mission to Busk afternoon to support our Carmelite mission work in East Timor.
We raised a whopping $2060! It was a brilliant opportunity to show the talents of our students while raising money for our sister school OLMC, Zumalai, East Timor.
There were over 60 acts performing ranging from singers, dancers, musicians, small bands, gymnasts, magicians, card tricks and even a puppet show.
The children prepared these acts themselves and rehearsed with the support of their parents.

Today our Yr4 students are investigating part-to-part ratios and part-to-whole ratios by surveying their peers and using real life data. Some of the surveys questions include 🤔Do you do your homework all the time? 😄Do you like your siblings? 😍What is your prefered topic, Cartesian plane or Ratios? Students are now using taught mathematical strategies to demonstrate how they simplify their ratios and write reflective statements to explain their thinking. It’s safe to say that some data will be staying within the safety of lesson 🤣

During Religion lessons, students from Kindergarten to Year 6 learned about the Carmel Impact Water Project. They explored the importance of supporting the Carmelite communities of Raimea and Zumalai in Timor-Leste by helping to restore water tanks and pipes to provide clean and safe water for daily use. On Wednesday, students filled buckets and cups with water and took part in the Walk for Water Challenge. This fun yet powerful experience reminded us that our brothers and sisters in Timor-Leste must travel on foot every day just to access a basic necessity — fresh, clean water — something we often take for granted in our homes and at school. On Friday, students came dressed in Something Blue — a colour symbolising our prayers for hope and change for the people of Timor-Leste. These are the moments when we are truly called to be the hearts and hands of Christ, showing love, compassion, and generosity to others. The week concluded with a Mission Liturgy, led by our energetic Spirit Squad. Students participated reverently, and we thank each and every one of them for their thoughtful engagement and their love for others throughout the week.

What a week it’s been! We kicked things off with Year 2 students helping to re-unite our community after the holiday break through prayer. Then, we celebrated a large number of students for their outstanding learning and positive learning dispositions. On Wednesday, we took part in the Walk for Water Challenge, which gave our students a deeper understanding of how fortunate we are to have easy, reliable access to clean water, without any worries. Today, we raise money to support our family in East Timor, where access to water is a constant struggle, DON'T FORGET TO WEAR BLUE CLOTHING AND DONATE VIA QKR

Hope is not wishing that everything will be okay in the end. It is a gutsy, radical choice to allow ourselves to be transformed, as Jesus showed us on the Cross and in His Resurrection.

📢 Important Update: SOCIAL MEDIA BAN for Under-16s Starting December 10, new rules will come into effect that prohibit under-16s from creating or keeping accounts on age-restricted social media platforms. 🔒 Why this change? Research shows that being logged into social media accounts can increase exposure to pressures and risks, such as upsetting or manipulative content, due to how platforms are designed. These changes aim to give young people more time to build digital literacy, impulse control, critical thinking and resilience before entering these online spaces. 🧠 While many platforms currently set 13 as the minimum age, this shift to 16 is about providing more time for healthy development in a digital world. 👨👩👧👦 With just over two months to go, now is a great time to start conversations at home. Talk with your child about what this change means, how they feel about it and how you can support them.

This term, in Religion, Year 6 have been learning about the relationship of prayer and their life. They have participated in numerous various prayer experiences throughout the term such as Visio Divina, Dadirri, Lectio Divina, Adoration, and the Examen Prayer. Students have expressed that one of their favourite experiences was the Dadirri, an ancient Aboriginal cultural practice of deep, quiet, inner listening and stillness. This meditation allowed students to appreciate God's creation and life and to have a moment of peace and serenity.
