Dance students impressed the crowd with a range of dazzling performances
Hundreds of students from 35 primary and secondary Catholic schools from across the Diocese showcased their creative talents in a series of music, dance and strings performances throughout June, culminating in the ‘Best Of’ performance on 23 June.
The showcase events demonstrated the high calibre of choral, music and dance work from Catholic schools, under the Parramatta Diocese’s creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE.
The program provides learning and performance experiences for students, as well as builds expertise and a sense of community across the system.
CAPTIVATE is very popular with five new schools joining the program since last year.

In Week 4, the Year 4 students attended Longneck Lagoon Environmental Education Centre at Maralya to support our Integrated Unit 'Earth and Space'. Although it was a hot day, there was lots of valuable learning and fun to be had. Hands-on activities included: the lowdown on soil, investigating erosion, and soil and stone investigations. Everyone enjoyed the scenic walk along the bush track to Longneck Lagoon, and were excited to see a rabbit, kangaroo, bugs, and birdlife along the way.

Over the past two weeks in Year 2 we have been learning about how to write a procedural text. We started with Fairy Bread and then ‘Frog in a Pond’. Each week began with the teachers demonstrating how to make each yummy treat, followed by the students creating their own recipe! The children explored how verbs and adverbs can make a recipe really easy to follow. They had so much fun writing their procedural texts and then eating their yummy treats! 🧚🏻🍫😋
