The students at Holy Family Luddenham have been diving head first into Book Week with an awesome Book Week Parade including a visit from Australian author/illustrator Matt Cosgrove!
Our Book Week celebrations were a little different this year due to COVID-19! However, our families of students in Kindergarten to Year 2 went to great lengths to prepare awesome costumes for the parade! We love Book Week as it's always great family fun and promotes the enjoyment of reading!
As part of Book Week celebrations, the Holy Family school community was very lucky to get a visit from the talented author and illustrator, Matt Cosgrove! Matt Cosgrove is best known by the students for his "Macca the Alpaca" books, which have always proved popular in the school library.
Matt inspired the children to read and write more with his humorous discussion about where to find inspiration for creative writing. He also entertained the children with a drawing demonstration and showed them how to turn Macca the Alpaca in different characters.

On Wednesday we were excited to welcome Mav Geyer and Taylan May from the Wests Tigers as part of their annual Wests Tigers Blitz 🐯🏉 The players spoke to our students about the importance of healthy habits, including getting enough sleep, staying hydrated and the importance of being physically active. They explained how these habits help our brains function at their best and support the way we think, learn and make positive choices. Thank you to the Wests Tigers for visiting and inspiring our students! 🧡🖤

At our beautiful celebration today we reflected on the words of Pope Leo and how our school prayer captures this same message. 2026 is the year that we ask God to "fill our hearts with your love in all the things we do and say".
