In Creative Arts lessons this term Kindergarten and Year 1 are learning about Drama and storytelling. Years 2-6 are exploring the Makey-Makey.
The Makey-Makey is an electronic invention kit for all ages! The Makey Makey allows you to take everyday objects and combine them with the internet. Using the alligator clips attached to any conductive material you can control the keyboard of your computer, such as the space bar, arrow keys and left click of the mouse. It allows all students to be creative, inventive, and imaginative.
The Makey-Makey is an easy and fun way to learn about science and coding in a creative way. The students in Years 3-6 have explored playing the piano with fruit and vegetables and also created game controllers with play dough, foil and lead pencil!
Year 3 and Year 2 are also building their typing skills while using the Chromebooks. We can’t wait to share our creative projects using the Makey-Makeys at the end of the term.

Today, 8 August, we celebrate the Feast Day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Australia’s first saint and a woman whose life was dedicated to education, faith and service to others. This Feast Day holds a very special significance for our school community. In 1963, the Sisters of St Joseph, founded by St Mary MacKillop, began our school and played a very important role in establishing our community of faith and learning. More than 60 years later, we continue to be inspired by the spirit and charism of Mary MacKillop, to “Never see a need without doing something about it” and to provide a loving, inclusive and faith filled education for every child. Today we give thanks for the Sisters of St Joseph who planted the seeds of faith in our school community, and for the many Sisters, staff, students and families who have continued to nurture those seeds throughout the years. May St Mary of the Cross MacKillop continue to inspire us to live with courage, compassion, humility and a deep commitment to serving others. St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, pray for us. #StMaryMacKillop #FeastDay #OurLadyOfLourdesSevenHills #SistersOfStJoseph #CatholicEducation #Faith #MacKillopSpirit

🎉 100 Days of Kindergarten! 🎉 What a fantastic day we had celebrating 100 Days of Kindergarten! Our students have achieved so much in their first 100 days of learning, and we loved taking the time to celebrate this special milestone together. The day was filled with fun activities, including creative craft, making Fruit Loop necklaces, outdoor games, and dressing up for the occasion. There were plenty of smiles, laughter and memorable moments as we reflected on how much our Kindergarten students have grown. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished so far and can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store! 💙💛
