✨ 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! 💛🌟

Year 6 conducted a class survey to compare their snack choices before and after hearing the message, “Tomorrow, try to bring a healthy snack — real food fuels your brain!” 🧠🍎 They examined correlation in the before data, then repeated the survey and analysed the after results using two-way tables, graphs and percentage calculations. Students were able to clearly see the change the message created — real data in action! 📊✨

Kindergarten 2026 – Our Second Transition Morning 💛 Our newest Holy Family learners returned for their second Transition session yesterday, and what a joyful morning it was! ✨ The children continued building confidence as they explored their new learning spaces, deepened friendships, and showed growing excitement about beginning their Kindergarten journey at Holy Family next year 🖍️📚 While our future Kindy students were busy learning and playing together, parents and carers spent the morning with our Instructional Coach, Mr Wallis, discovering how families can support their children’s learning at home and unpacking the incredible work happening at Holy Family during our English block. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, ask questions, and see how our school-home partnership supports every learner’s growth. Next week, our 2026 Kindy students will take another exciting step, meeting their Year 6 Buddies! 🧒👧 Watch this space as those special friendships begin to form. We can’t wait to continue welcoming our new families into the Holy Family community, where faith, learning, and love grow together every day. 💫

❤️ World Kindness Day at Holy Family! ❤️ “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32 Today we celebrated World Kindness Day, a joyful reminder that every small act of love has the power to transform hearts and build community! 💫 Miss Lianos led our staff in a beautiful reflection on the love of Jesus, the source of all true kindness. Her message encouraged us to think about how we bring that love into our classrooms, our conversations, and the everyday moments that shape our school life. Let’s keep spreading kindness wherever we go. Through a smile, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement. Because at Holy Family, kindness isn’t just celebrated… it’s who we are! ❤️ Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
