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.

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".

🌟 Random Act of Kindness Day - 17 February 🌟 Today is a reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. Kindness is one of the strongest tools we have to create safe, supportive, and inclusive environments for everyone. A smile, a helping hand, a kind message, or standing up for someone who needs support - it all counts. 💛 Let’s use today to start a ripple effect. 💬 Share a kind word. 🤝 Help someone out. 🌈 Make someone feel seen and valued. Together, we can build a culture where kindness is the norm and bullying has no place. What’s one small act of kindness you’ll do today? #RandomActOfKindnessDay #BullyingNoWay #ChooseKindness #SpreadKindness
