What Your Child Really Learns in the First 100 Days of School

One moment your child is holding your hand at the school gate and before you know it, they're walking in confidently, greeting friends by name, carrying their own bag, and coming home full of stories about 'assembly' and 'sport'. Here’s what to expect in their first 100 days of Kindergarten.

🎶✨ Lifted Live 2026 ✨🎶 Our Year 5 students had an incredible day attending Lifted Live, joining hundreds of students from across the Diocese for a vibrant celebration of faith, music, and community. Through inspiring messages, uplifting music, prayer, and shared experiences, students were encouraged to deepen their relationship with God while connecting with other young people who share their faith journey. The energy, enthusiasm, and joy throughout the day created a memorable experience that highlighted the strength of our diocesan community. We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this special event and know that our students returned with renewed inspiration, new friendships, and a deeper understanding of what it means to live their faith each day. 💙🙏 #LiftedLive #FaithInAction #Year5 #CatholicEducation #DioceseCommunity

A huge congratulations to all of our runners who represented St Finbar’s at today’s Primary Sport Parramatta Diocese Cross Country Carnival. We are so proud of the determination, resilience, and effort shown by each student. It was wonderful to see our students displaying true sportsmanship, encouraging and cheering on their peers as they crossed the finish line. Well done to all involved!

Last Thursday, our school proudly held our Caritas Markets, raising funds to support communities around the world in gaining access to clean water. This special event built on learning from earlier in the term, when students participated in the Water Walk; an experience that deepened their understanding of the challenges faced by many people globally. The markets provided a meaningful opportunity to turn that growing awareness into action. The markets featured a range of activities including face painting, cookie decorating, hair braiding, and various sporting activities. These were all thoughtfully organised and run by our Year 6 students, who demonstrated outstanding leadership, kindness, and a true sense of service to others. Their efforts reflected faith in action and a strong commitment to making a difference. We are incredibly proud of our Little Mountains community, who came together to raise over $1,000. This is a wonderful achievement and a testament to the generosity and spirit of our students and families. #faithinactioncspd

As we come to the end of the sacred time of Holy Week at school, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our Year 6 students for the beautiful way they led our school community through our Holy Week reflections. Your maturity, reverence, and deep knowledge were evident in every moment. You guided our younger students with care and respect, helping them to better understand the significance of this sacred time and supporting them in their own faith journeys. We are incredibly proud of the leadership you have shown and the example you have set for our community. Thank you for walking with us so thoughtfully through Holy Week.

A friendly reminder to our families that our Project Compassion Market Day will be held this Thursday! If you haven't done so yet, please purchase your ticket via the QKR app. This special event is an opportunity for our students to put their faith into action as we raise money to support remote communities in gaining access to clean water. Through this initiative, we are living out the Catholic Social Teachings of Solidarity and Human Dignity, recognising our responsibility to care for others and ensure all people have access to the basic necessities of life. We look forward to a wonderful day of community, generosity, and compassion. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping our students make a meaningful difference.
