Despite some topsy-turvy weather this term🌤🌧🌬🍁, it's been awesome seeing so many students able to get out on excursions and expand their minds and learning🕵️♀️ such as Santa Sophia Catholic College students visiting Muru Mittigar in Rouse Hill to learn about Aboriginal art, artefacts, bush tucker and ochre painting.❤️🖤💛 With the election just around the corner, it was fitting that students from St Michael's Blacktown South and Bethany Catholic Primary School ventured to Canberra to visit Parliament House along with Questacon and the Australian Institute of Sport while St Nicholas of Myra Primary Penrith students got up close with some cute furry friends at a farm while those from @Holy Family Primary School, East Granville explored plants and flowers at the Auburn Botanical Gardens.🥰😇

FAMILY is everything...👨👩👧👦🥰😇 and today being United Nations International Day of Families, we hope everyone gets to spend some quality time with their loved ones.😍 Families are at the heart of our school communities so after the difficulties of the past few years, it's been so exciting and so heartwarming to see parents, grandparents, carers, brother and sisters able to return to school and enjoy the school experience with our students.💞💕💗 Take a look at some lovely pics from special events involving families so far this year or take a listen to these parents from St Monica's North Parramatta explaining why they've loved being able to go to open days again. https://www.facebook.com/CatholicEdParra/videos/718587869499837/ St Canice's Primary School Holy Spirit St Clair Holy Family Primary School, East Granville Trinity C.P.S Kemps Creek St Finbar's Primary, Glenbrook St Monica's Primary School Richmond St Oliver's Primary Harris Park

Besides admiring the spectacular view of Sydney Harbour🌇, St John Paul II Catholic College, Schofields & Nirimba students got to enjoy a fun day of learning at Luna Park Sydney. 🎡😝🎢 Years 11 and 12 Physics applied their knowledge of force, motion and gravity to amusement rides at the park, experiencing concepts that Einstein and Newton could only have dreamed about! 🧑🏫💫⚖️ Some students were even brave enough to tackle free-fall and speeds of 75km/h on the Sledgehammer and the Big Dipper😲😱

This week’s discussion about challenging the traditional approach to school timetabling is welcomed. Some forward-thinking schools are already on that journey. https://t.co/GQfOy2OREc the-traditional-9-3-day-20220208-p59utd.html @StLukesMP
