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.

Our Playgroup is so much more than a fun morning together, it’s the very beginning of each child’s learning journey in our school community. Through play, children build the foundations for social, emotional and academic growth. They learn how to take turns, share, solve problems, use their imagination, build confidence, and develop the early language and motor skills that set them up for success in Kindergarten and beyond. We love seeing our future Kindy students laugh, discover and grow each week. 💛🩵

Today a new group of eager Kindy starters arrived for their second round of Playgroup 🌺🩷⚽️🧱 Playgroup is intentionally designed to support our youngest learners as they transition into big school. Through play, children learn how to share, negotiate, take turns and build relationships, all essential foundations for positive social development. Play also lays the groundwork for academic success. As children engage in hands-on activities, they develop early literacy and numeracy skills, strengthen their problem-solving abilities, and learn to follow routines and instructions in a safe and supportive environment. Most importantly, play allows children to feel confident, curious and ready to learn.

As October, the Month of the Rosary, comes to a close, our Spirit Squad has been busy interviewing students from Kindergarten to Year 6 about what the Rosary means to them 💙 From finding peace in prayer to feeling close to Mary and Jesus, our students shared heartfelt reflections that remind us how prayer takes many forms. Through our daily decade of the Rosary and the Family Rosary Bags, our community has taken time this month to pause, reflect and pray together, growing in faith and love. Our Spirit Squad members also found this time meaningful and insightful. Lawrence shared that he was inspired by all the students' answers and, as the photographer, he was surprised by how eager they were for photos and to be interviewed. Kristopher shared that he was inspired by how open all students were to speak about their faith and experience. See our student reflections along with some cheeky snaps from our Spirit Squad in the photos below. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us 🙏
