👡👢👟 Stage 3 Learning: Other Worldly Shoe Sculptures 👡👢👟 Our creative Stage 3 students stepped into the world of surreal design by exploring the fascinating work of sculptor Costa Magarakis, known for transforming everyday objects—especially shoes—into extraordinary, whimsical creations. Inspired by his imaginative style, students were challenged to design their own “otherworldly shoe”, combining elements of fantasy, storytelling, and functionality. They brainstormed ideas, sketched plans, and considered the story behind their shoe—What world does it belong to? Who would wear it? What purpose does it serve? From roller coasters and rainforest waterfalls to flower pots and volcanoes, each student brought a unique vision to life. The final designs were bold, creative, and bursting with imagination. We are so proud of the originality and thought put into every creation—true examples of thinking “a step beyond” the ordinary!![176022598337143_752925617313502-1]()

📙📘 Kindergarten Learning: Reading Groups! 📙📘 Our Kindergarten Reading Groups have been full of excitement, discovery, and learning! Our learners have made wonderful progress — learning to read words and sentences with growing confidence. Each week, students have participated in a range of engaging and hands-on experiences that support their reading development. From dramatic play, to fine motor activities that build writing strength, our Reading Groups are filled with fun and purpose. Children have enjoyed phonics games, small group reading, and plenty of opportunities to read for fun, helping them connect sounds, letters, and meaning in many ways. We are so proud of the enthusiasm and effort our Kindergarten learners have shown.

🖤💛❤️ Dreaming Story 🖤💛❤️ Year 1 were able to engage in a dreaming story about how the Dragonfly came to live on the land of the Mulgoa people. Students engaged in the story where the Mulgoa people helped Dragonfly ask the permission of the Black Swan, the Totem of the Mulgoa people, to stay on the land. Dragonfly was welcomed and can be found on the land of the Mulgoa people to this day. A special thanks to Aunty Dianne for sharing this cultural story with out students.

✝️❤️🔥 Sacred Heart Liturgy ❤️🔥✝️ St Nicholas of Myra students gathered for the Sacred Heart of Jesus Liturgy, a beautiful celebration led by Father Joe. Father Joe talked about how Jesus' heart is depicted on the outside because he shares his love with everyone, and everyone has the capacity to accept each other, be nice to one another and live with one another. Our calling is to imitate the heart of Jesus in our everyday lives.
