🖤💛❤️ PRIDE IN EVERY STEP 🖤💛❤️ The Jannawi Dance Clan delivered a stunning performance at Burramatta NAIDOC in Parramatta Park last week! ✨ Their powerful dance was a vibrant celebration of culture, connection and Country - honouring the strength and resilience of First Nations traditions. It was especially wonderful to see our students and alumni sharing culture on stage with Aunty Peta Strachan's Jannawi Dance Clan, proudly supported by members of the Jarara team.👏

LEARN 💭, LISTEN 👂, LOVE ❤️ Stage 3 students from St Monica's North Parramatta participated in a memorable Immersion Day that focused on instilling the 3 L’s - Learn, Listen, Love. 🥰 The day commenced with the students listening to a talk from Roydon, a guest speaker from Vinnies NSW, who shared powerful insights about the challenges faced by those most vulnerable in the community, and what we can do to help. 🤝 The Year 5 students enjoyed spreading kindness at a local nursing home, whilst the Year 6 students visited their local Vinnies store and helped load the bus with the generous donations gifted by the St Monica’s school community - over a whopping 1,000 first aid kits were donated to those in need! 👏 🙌 The Immersion Day was a wonderful reflection of faith in action and demonstrated the power of community!

The story behind this year’s ARTICULATE catalogue cover
The cover artwork for this year’s ARTICULATE (Parramatta Diocese’s HSC Visual Arts Showcase) catalogue was created by Yashica Patel, a former St Luke’s Catholic College Marsden Park student. Her featured digital series, titled “Lost in Revelry", beautifully captures the essence of becoming fully absorbed in the creative process.
