Today marks the official start of Advent 🙏. So lovely to see our students have already begun their reflections of what this time means as we approach Christmas. 😇Advent season is a time of preparation for our hearts and minds before we celebrate Jesus being born into the world.🙏 🌟 #cspd2023 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #bluemountainsnsw #penrith #blacktown #parramatta #hawkesbury @stpatricksprimaryguildford

🎉Looks like more PLAY than work happening here!! 🤩 Our counsellors sometimes need toys and resources to help some kids regulate their emotions, learn how to be calm, how to take turns and manage their feelings. So a number of our AMAZING office staff helped put together 80 big packages including weighted sloths, alligators, dogs 🧸 blankets, balance cushions, fidget toys, tactile sand, puzzles🧩and games including UNO for distribution to our schools. ❤️ We want every school to be a safe and calm space for our students.🙏 #cspd2023 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #bluemountainsnsw #parramatta #hawkesbury #ourteachersmakethedifference #studentwellbeing #wellbeingatschool #wellbeingatschools
