Music, art, movement: why creativity matters more than you think

Did you know creativity is one of the biggest predictors of how well children do in school and in life?

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.

Last week, we began sending home Holy Week Prayer Kits with students. The kits have been thoughtfully designed to help children explore and deepen their understanding of the Easter story. Inside the bag, you will find picture prompt cards, suggested Scripture readings, and conversation starters to support meaningful reflection and discussion at home. Easter is the most sacred time in the liturgical calendar, and these kits provide a wonderful opportunity for students to engage with its significance, ask questions, and grow in both learning and faith alongside their families. As we begin this initiative, kits will be sent home with a small number of students and then be rotated across the class. This allows all students the opportunity to participate over time. We kindly ask families to return the kits promptly so others may also share in this experience. Thank you for your continued support in making this a rich and meaningful experience for our students.

Dear School Community, This is a request to all families to take just 15 minutes to complete the ECSI Quickscan Survey. The ECSI Quickscan is a survey tool used to capture a snapshot of the attitudes, perceptions, and experiences of students, staff, families, and leaders regarding the Catholic identity of their school. We understand life is busy, but if you haven’t yet had a chance, please consider setting aside a short window of time today or tomorrow to support us. If it is more convenient for you to take the survey at school, you are welcome to come in anytime this week and will be provided with a computer and a quiet space. Thank you for supporting our school in this important way. St Finbar's Community
