There is strong evidence that challenging, achievable goals influence achievement, provided the individual is involved in setting them.
Achievement is enhanced when challenging, rather than “do your best” goals, relative to the students’ ability, are set.
This year we have seen one of our own achieve incredible results in the swimming pool. Hunter Kelly, of Year 4 (U/10’s), has a achieved his best results in the swimming pool this year. He managed to get progress through Zone Carnival, Diocesan Carnival, Catholic State Carnival and reached the All Schools State Championships where he finished 26th.
Much like our learning in the classroom it is always about achieving your personal best. Setting growth goals to challenge yourself to succeed and reach your potential.
Congratulations to Hunter Kelly on achieving his personal best result in the pool this year. As his classroom teacher, I can see this passion for personal bests also happening in the classroom.

π Tinnies for Vinnies Winter Appeal π Last week, our school community came together to support the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal through our Tinnies for Vinnies collection. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who generously donated and helped make a difference to those in need this winter. It was wonderful to see our students embracing the spirit of the day by wearing their pyjamas and showing compassion and generosity in action. A special thank you to Mrs Farrugia and the staff and students who represented our school at the Vinnies Sleep Out alongside students from other local Catholic primary schools. We are grateful for opportunities to live out our faith, serve others, and connect with the wider community through initiatives such as these. #TinniesForVinnies #WinterAppeal #CommunityInAction #FaithInAction #StFinbarsSchool ππ€ Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese11 Jun 2026
