Student Leaders Report
Its been a very busy start to the year. Our year 56 students competed in the interschool sports. We were very successful and they all showed good sportmanship and respect to the other team.
On Tuesday we had our beginning of the year Mass which was very beautiful. We thank Fr Samuel for filling in at short notice and we hope Fr Anunda feels better soon. The year 56 leadership and responsiblity roles were announced after Mass. There were a lot of happy students who are excited about taking on their new roles.
In Italian classes this week we got to make Castagnole (Italian fried donuts) they were really delicious and it was fun experience- Thankyou Signora DeLorenzo

Naplan Assessments 12–24 March, 2025
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a literacy and numeracy assessment that students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sit each year.
Our Year 3 & Year 5 students will sit online assessments in writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy. The questions assess content linked to the Australian Curriculum: English and Mathematics. NAPLAN is just one aspect of a school’s assessment and reporting process. It does not replace ongoing assessments made by teachers about student performance, but it can provide teachers with more information about students’ educational progress.
If you do not wish for your child to participate in these online assessments please contact your child’s classroom teacher.

ITALIAN NEWS – ‘Carnevale’ fritters – ‘Castagnole’ .
This week all students were treated to delicious Italian ‘Carnevale’ fritters called ‘Castagnole’, sometimes even called ‘zeppole’ or ‘sfingi’, depending on which part of Italy you come from. The students enjoyed watching how ‘castagnole’ are made and felt so privileged to be sitting in the amazing learning space in the school staffroom. They indulged in the delicious ‘Carnevale’ sweet, often eaten in the weeks leading up to Shrove Tuesday.
Student comments:
‘The best donuts!’,,
‘Are there any seconds?’
‘Can’t wait to make them at home!’,
‘My nonna makes them too!’,
’Best Italian lesson ever!’
