✨ Year 1 Safe & Ready to Learn Reward! ✨ Today Year 1 celebrated their reward for living safely, loving respectfully and learning daily — and what a day it was! Our students came dressed as their future selves, with doctors, scientists, builders and so many more inspiring careers filling our classrooms. The teachers joined in the fun too… by dressing up as retired versions of themselves! 👵🧓 In the afternoon we enjoyed a lively game of bingo — a favourite pastime of our “retired teachers.” It was such a joyful way to celebrate all the hard work and positive choices our Year 1 students have shown this term. 💛🎉 Well done Year 1! 🌟

✨ Kindergarten 2026 Transition Session 3! ✨ Today was a heart-melting moment at Holy Family as our upcoming Year 6 leaders met their Kindergarten buddies for the very first time 💛👫 There were smiles, shy giggles, little hands reaching for big hands, and the beginning of beautiful friendships that will grow throughout 2026 and beyond 🤝 Watching our senior students step into their leadership with such kindness and care was a reminder of the words of Jesus: “Let the little children come to me… for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”✨ A perfect reminder that every act of welcome, gentleness, and love builds the kind of community Jesus calls us to be. Our Kindergarten 2026 students explored their new classrooms, met new friends, and enjoyed activities that sparked curiosity and joy 🖍️📚🌈 We can’t wait to see these beautiful buddy relationships grow even more in 2026! 💛🌟
