It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.

๐ต๐ด We may have aged 100 years overnight! ๐ Our Kindergarten students celebrated 100 days of school by dressing as 100-year-olds, and they certainly looked the part! While they may have looked 100 today, they're only 100 days into an amazing journey of learning, friendship and growing in God's love. We can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings! ๐โจ Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese #100DaysOfKindergarten #AgedToPerfection #GrowingInGodsLove

โฝ๐๐ Future Socceroos in the making! Kindergarten had a fantastic time stepping into the boots of the Socceroos, giving it their best shot and dreaming big! From their stadium walk-on to showing off their soccer skills, our youngest students embraced the challenge with confidence, teamwork and plenty of Aussie spirit. Who knows? We might just have the next generation of Socceroos right here at St Finbar's! ๐ฆ๐บโฝ

Our students recently had the wonderful opportunity to attend the St Vincent de Paul Encounter Day at St John Paul II Catholic College, Schofields. Facilitated by St Vincent de Paul, the day provided students with a deeper understanding of the history and mission of the organisation, how it began, and the important role of Conference members in supporting people experiencing hardship. Students also explored the realities of homelessness, including the different forms it can take, current statistics, and practical ways individuals and communities can make a positive difference. The day was both inspiring and thought-provoking. Our students returned feeling energised and motivated to continue promoting Faith in Action within our school community, putting their faith into practice through service, compassion, and advocacy for those most in need.
