On Monday the 26th of April, year 3 and year 4 went on an excursion to The Rocks in the city.
We got there by two buses, and we got to drive over the Harbour Bridge. When we got there we first dressed up as the captain, free settlers, convicts and soldiers.Then year 3 and year 4 got split into three groups.
We got shown a police station and a cafe but in 1788 it was a hospital. We heard ghost stories about Susan and Old Man Jeff. There were lots of old houses and new houses. We discovered that, when convicts came, they built houses and wrote their initials on the sandstones.
We had our lunch in front of the harbour. After that we had the olympics and a trivia game mixed together! After that we drew an amazing drawing of the harbour in the past and the present. We really enjoyed it, and learned lots more facts for our history unit.

This morning, our Year 4 students gathered with parents and family members to celebrate a beautiful class liturgy, reflecting on the scripture and learning explored throughout this term’s learning cycle. Through prayer, song and reflection, students shared their growing understanding of God’s Word and the ways it invites us to live with faith, compassion and hope in our everyday lives. It was a special opportunity to come together as a Year 4 community and recognise prayer as central to our Catholic tradition — a time to pause, reflect and strengthen our connection with God and one another. A special thank you to our Year 4 students for their beautiful preparation, reverence and thoughtful participation in leading the liturgy. Your care and reflection created a meaningful experience for all who attended. Thank you also to our Year 4 teachers for their support and guidance in helping students prepare and bring this celebration to life. Thank you to all of our families who joined us and helped make this celebration so special.
