Earlier this term several students from year six took part in a writing competition to coincide with the Australian Conference of the Sister Cities project.
This year the conference was hosted by Blacktown City Council and included delegates from Korea, China, New Zealand, The Philippines and many other countries involved in the project. Entries in the competition were submitted by hundreds of year six students from the Blacktown area. Ten prizes were awarded and two of them were won by Disha Prasad and Ayak Tong from St Aidan’s.
Last Sunday evening Disha, Ayak, their families along with Mrs Colusso (year 6 teacher) andDr Ricketts (principal) attended a wonderful cultural experience at the Colebee Centre. During the ceremony the girls received their awards and enjoyed a delicious supper and fabulous entertainment performed by a variety of representatives from the participating countries.
Congratulations Disha and Ayak. Your school community salutes you!

Students practised their 3D designing skills on Makers Empire and worked together as teams to communicate their thinking. We are excited to see Year 5 confidently use this process again this term! Keep up your creative thinking Year 5!

Well done Year 5 on creating these frames and explaining your ideas. We can’t wait to explore Church this term with some exciting learning experiences!

It’s not all bookwork in 4 Blue. Lessons are especially fun when it’s a practical lesson and involves water play! Our Year 4 Blue students were highly engaged to estimate and accurately measure the capacity (internal volume) of containers. By the end of the unit, all were very good with their estimations. What a social activity it is to paint! 4 Blue students showed their artistic skills in sketching an Australian animal before painting with acrylic paint.
