Dear Parents & Guardians,
The Reconciliation Week Breakfast was held at MyState Bank Arena on Thursday 1st June. Some of our student leaders and staff were invited to attend. The guest speaker this year was renowned journalist, Kamilaroi man and reconciliation champion Ray Martin. From the reports given he was great to listen to and was able to provide an informative talk. It was wonderful that some of our students were able to participate in the discussion following - a great effort in front of over 1,000 attendees!
We had a wonderful Music Assembly yesterday. Each of our Grade 3 - 6 classes, Ruby Argee and the School Choir performed a range of musical pieces. We are so proud of our Music program and the knowledge and abilities of our students. Well done to all our performers. A big thanks to Mrs Claire Williams for the amazing work you are doing with our students.
Congratulations to our students in Grades 3 - 6 who were selected to represent the school at the Catholic Schools Cross Country last week. They were blessed with fine weather. Each participant competed in Gold Division (larger schools). Well done to our participating students on your enthusiasm and determination!
This Wednesday saw our Ludo CatholicCare Early Learning & Care undergo its first Assessment and Rating since it commenced operation. This was an opportunity to showcase and celebrate all the wonderful work undertaken in this space. Thank you to Jess George (Ludo Educational Leader), Jacynta Ransley (Ludo Team Leader) and all the Ludo Educators for all the work you have done to prepare for this.
Well done to all the students who participated in the music assembly
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.
Year 2 Teachers - Shona Martin, Renee Ludwig and Leeann Medwin
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!
