In Week 1 of Term 2 the Stage 3 students along with Ms Byrnes, Mrs Ferguson, Miss Muddle, Ms Critchlow, Mr Owen, Miss Datson and Mrs Willemse traveled to Bathurst for 3 days of fun and learning.
On Day 1 We visited Little Hartley then drove on Mount Panorma to Bathurst Goldfields. There we had an Aboriginal talk and learnt to throw a boomerang. We also re-enacted in costumes Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson’s journey to discover this area. In the afternoon we played some drama games and after dinner enjoyed trivia and more games.
On Day 2 we traveled to Hill End and had an amazing tour of the town and learnt so much about the rich history. Then we did some gold panning and found flecks of gold!! After that we traveled to History Hill to enjoy a sausage sizzle lunch and a tour of the museum.
There were many incredible artefacts from the gold rush. Including a piece of the largest gold nugget specimen in the world- "The Beyers and Holtermann Nugget".
We even walked through a mine shaft and climbed 7 ladders to get to the top. We had an amazing bus ride on the Mount Panorama Race track too! We enjoyed a talent quest that night and a dance off. Many laughs and good times.
On Day 3 we explored the education Centre at Bathurst Goldfields where we stayed and took part in the program of life on the Goldfields. We made damper, made mud bricks, played olden games, explored a cottage, schoolhouse, Chinese temple and museum. We got to see how Blacksmiths made tools and the systems in place on the goldfields. Very impressive!
We learnt so much and were excited to come home after one big group photo at the top of Mount Panorama. We love Bathurst!

2025 School Cross Country We had a fantastic time at our School Cross Country Carnival held On Friday the 4th of April. It was wonderful to see so many students showing determination, resilience, and great sportsmanship as they ran their races and cheered on their peers. All students should be very proud of their efforts. A very special thank you to both the student helpers from Nagle college as well as the parents who volunteered their time to help on the day. Congratulations to the green colour house for achieving the most points on the day. We would like to also congratulate the students who have qualified to compete at the Diocesan cross country carnival next term. We wish all the students who are competing the best of luck!
