🌟 Celebrating 30 Years of Service with St Vincent de Paul🌟 We would like to congratulate the students who proudly represented our school community at the 30-year anniversary Mass for the St Vincent de Paul Society in the Mountains. During the celebration, the students received a special blessing alongside the veteran members of the Vinnies community; a beautiful moment of connection between generations of service. These young people have already shown a true gift of generosity in spirit, reflecting the values of compassion and care that lie at the heart of St Vincent de Paul. We are proud to support them as they continue to develop their faith and commitment to serving others. We also thank the members of the St Vincent de Paul community for nurturing our participation in their programs. #StVincentDePaul #30YearsOfService #FaithInAction #GenerosityOfSpirit #ProudSchoolCommunity #Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

We’re grateful for their time, care, and expertise in helping our students build confidence, self-kindness, and healthy attitudes towards themselves and others. Thank you, Butterfly Foundation, for supporting our school community in nurturing resilience and self-worth! 🦋

🌹 The Month of the Holy Rosary 🌹 Throughout October, our school community has been praying the Holy Rosary each afternoon. Our students have been learning about the Mysteries of the Rosary; the special moments from the lives of Jesus and Mary that help us reflect on God’s love and faithfulness. Each day, we focus on a Mystery, Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, or Glorious, and take time to think about what they teach us about hope and faith. Families are warmly invited to send rosary beads to school with their children to enhance this prayerful experience. Having a set of beads provides a beautiful, tactile way for students to connect more deeply with the rhythm and meaning of the Rosary. Together, we continue to grow in faith, reflection, and peace during this sacred month.

🎉 Well done, St Finbar’s! 🎉 Our amazing students have shown that even a little “goo” can do a lot of good! 💚 Through their creative “Goo for Good” fundraising initiative in late Term 3, they raised an incredible $250 to support Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation. We’re so proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and generosity in making a positive difference in our community. 🙌 Thank you to everyone who donated, participated, and got a little gooey for good! 💦✨ #StFinbarsSpirit #GooForGood #StudentsMakingADifference #CommunityPride

🌍✨ Learning and Leading Beyond Borders! ✨🌍 During the closing weeks of Term 3, our principal, Mrs Clarke was representing St Finbar’s at KU Leuven Belgium, taking part in a special study experience as part of the ECSI (Enhancing Catholic School Identity) Project. This incredible opportunity brought together Catholic educators from around the world to explore how schools can continue to grow in faith, strengthen identity and build community in a way that speaks to the hearts of today’s learners. Through analysis of our school survey data, shared discussions, and time for reflection, Mrs Clarke has been diving deep into what it means to live and lead with Catholic values in contemporary education — something that sits at the very heart of who we are at St Finbar’s. We can’t wait to welcome her home and hear all about the ideas, inspiration, and learnings she will be sharing, and enriching our community with.

🎉✨ **What a way to end the term!** ✨🎉 On Friday we came together as a school community to celebrate St Finbar’s Day, and what a celebration it was! We began the day with a truly beautiful liturgy honouring the life of St Finbar and reflecting on the way his example continues to inspire us to live with faith, compassion, and courage. From there, we were delighted to acknowledge our students who consistently live out the charisms of our school, shining as leaders through their kindness, generosity, and inclusivity. These moments reminded us of the many ways our young people light the way for others each day. 🌟 And then… the celebrations turned into pure joy! Our playground came alive with fun, games, and a carnival-like atmosphere; laughter, colour, and excitement filling every corner of the school. It was the perfect way to finish the term, celebrating not only St Finbar but also the strong sense of community we share. Wishing our community a safe and peaceful holiday break.
