On Tuesday 10th September the Holy Family Representative Netball team attended the NGS Super Netball Regional Finals at Netball Central. It was a memorable experience for all students finishing the day with 4 wins from 6 games, going down by only 2 points in each of the games they lost. The skill level and sportsmanship displayed by each of our students was phenomenal and they were a credit to our school name. Congratulations to the HFS Netball team and their coach, Mrs Van As on an outstanding tournament.

On Friday 30th August we celebrated a joint Father’s Day and Book Week celebration at Holy Family. We started the day with a Donuts for Dad breakfast. Over 200 donuts were eaten across the day, and it was an excellent opportunity for Dads to share a donut and drink with each other. Dads were then invited to challenge their children at handball or even take time to have a photo with their children in our Facebook frame. Next the whole school and families gathered in the Hall for a special jam-packed celebration of Dads and Book Week. Kindergarten shared a dramatization of the book “My Dad” by Anthony Browne and then shared their writing about their Dads. The crowd were then treated to a dance performance from both our Senior and Junior Captivate squads. Their routines to Candy Man and Texas Hold ‘Em were a sight to behold! Our One Heart One Mind and Academic Achievement awards were presented next. Congratulations to all who received an award for their hard work and excellent following of our school expectations. We began our Book Week celebrations with students from each stage sharing their creative writing. This writing was in response to the crazy stimulus items that appeared on the playground last week. Next our junior Book Week dancers performed a Reading is Magic dance to get us all in the right frame of mind for our Book Parade of characters. Each stage had a chance to parade and show off their costumes with Mrs Mac, our MC, introducing us to many of wonderful characters on display. Even the younger siblings got to parade if they were in costume. One lucky student in each grade was awarded a book prize after their parade section. At the end of our book parade each stage waited eagerly to find out who had won the Book Week door display challenge. Ever stage had put a lot of work into their doors, and it was Stage 1 and their Magic Hat display that won the $100 book prize! Finally, our assembly finished with the annual Teachers Books Week Readers Theatre. This year’s book was the Australian Classic Possum Magic. Everyone enjoyed the teacher’s entertaining reenactment of the story. A huge thank you to everyone involved with our joint Father’s Day and Book Week celebrations. It was an amazing day which was thoroughly enjoyed by staff, students and our families, especially the Dads who were in attendance!

Congratulations to our Voice of Youth cluster finalists Ava G and Elise M. Ava spoke about the different stages of grief and how it can affect your life. Elise spoke on exclusion and the impact it can have on your mental health. The judges presented Elise with the Social Justice Award for her speech. Both girls did an outstanding job with speeches that addressed issues that are both relevant and personal to us all.

During Book Week strange things started appearing on the top playground. Every day a new item appeared. We saw a palm tree, a pool with people watching fish climbing out, a baby trying to bake a cake, a horse in sunglasses riding a motorbike and a galah trying to write a message on some paper. These items helped stimulate our brains for some writing tasks. Finally on Friday it was revealed to be part of preparations to read “Can You Teach A Fish to Climb A Tree” by Jane Godwin and Terry Denton. We all had so much fun seeing, discussing and writing about what we had seen! We look forward to our Book Week Celebrations on Friday of Week 6.

The final stop of our Canberra adventure was a return to Old Parliament House. One of our groups visited the National Electoral Education Centre to learn about why we have elections and how they are conducted. The other group visited the Museum of Australian Democracy to learn more about the history and influencers of our democratic processes.
