Spiritual Awareness at Holy Rosary Catholic School

Holy Rosary Catholic School is Catholic Primary School where our Catholic Education is a formation of the whole person in the light of the destiny that Jesus Christ has built for us.

Parents and Carers are the first educators of their children. As a parent, you have the right and duty to nourish your child's spiritual development within your family. Holy Rosary Catholic School exists to support you on this journey.

Spirituality underpins life at Holy Rosary Catholic School in order to ultimately seek to develop empathy and respect for others while exploring faith and self-awareness.

St Bernard's Church stands as part of our school and is an enduring symbol of the central role faith plays in our life. True to Catholic traditions and values, we encourage an openness and tolerance of the faith and beliefs of others.

Regular attendance at Wednesday Weekly Masses and school liturgies is part of the everyday life at Holy Rosary Catholic School. Many school gatherings begin or end with a prayer or reflection, which is often led by staff and/or students.

In year two, we have been discovering different ways that we can measure objects.  2B and 2M had a lot of fun using paper dinosaur feet to measure objects in our classroom. Students were intrigued to see how many dinosaur feet it would take to measure our whole classroom!  They also measured their desk, the window and the whiteboard.

Year 2B and 2M have been enjoying Literacy Groups. As you can see, 2B are fully engaged with getting into their characters for their Reader’s Theatre. 

We hope that you enjoy some of our recent photos.

On a tropical Hobart morning the elite of Holy Rosary's running stable ventured to the windswept plains of the Rokeby Police Academy. As the nearby dolphin's frolicked in the shallows of timtumili minanya, the grade 4's were first to tackle the course fighting through icy Antarctic gusts, mushy grass and the odd rabbit hole! The grade 3's followed, powered by complete and utter nervousness. All Grade 3s finished the run and displayed tremendous Holy Rosary spirit!

The sun shone brightly as the Grade 5's took off, melting away any remaining frost and removing any distress relating to the extra 500m around the haunting pine trees of the Clarence plains. Hallie Wickham the mighty miler from Mangalore was pipped at the post but ran an incredible race to finish second.

We then finished the day with our grade 6s, and what a way to finish a great day; Ava Lindquist, akin to Cathy Freeman flying down the straight at Stadium Australia took out the girl’s event, barely breaking a sweat as she crossed the line!

In the end a great day was had by all our competitors. A massive congratulations to all of our runners on the day! A special thanks to Mrs Fisher and Miss Browning for crowd control, Mr Riza and Mr Taylor for setting up chateau Rosary in the morning darkness and Mr Clarke who directed traffic well into the afternoon!
