Blessed Edmund Rice Day

Today is Blessed Edmund Rice Day. Across the school, children took part in activities to celebrate the day and the mission of Edmund Rice, which was giving back to the community. This is something that inspires us everyday as part of our Gabe's Give Back program, but especially today. We had so many activities going on around the school.

Students from 10A cooked chicken stir-fry with Mr Evans, which is now headed over to be dropped off at Parramatta Mission to help with meals served in their kitchen.

All day, different classes took part in sports games and activities outside with Mr Davis and their teachers, enjoying the lovely Autumn weather.

Students from 5/6 spent some time writing thank you cards today for people who support our school.

An activity focused on giving back within the school community. Our older primary students read books with our K-2 students today.

5/6W created Kindness Jars using recycled jars, which relates to their integrated and English unit on recycling. The students have put what comes to mind when they think of kindness in the jars so far, and throughout the term will have opportunities to write kind notes to their peers for their jars as a keepsake.
