Lambton Quay - Shopping!!!



Loved this bit... Kirkaldies and Stains, Swavoski... killer shoes and bling.

National War Memorial




What a place! It really make us think, reflect and care about the people who offered their lives for their country. The children were so respectful.

Island Bay Marine Reserve



This morning we drove to Island Bay. Victor and Judy, our experts, allowed us to explore the life in the rock pools. Very cool! We handled the creatures with great care. Beautiful weather...

Her we are again with our coach Mr Webb. Today we were practicing our shotput skills. Hoo..HAAA!


Feast Day

Feast Day is always fun. We start with Mass for our Patron Saint Mary, next comes the parade of colourful classes. After morning tea comes the Talent Quest. It's a mighty display of our students performing talents; singing, dancing, the playing of musical instruments and rapping. Lunch time brings a feast that is very partyish and delicious. The day ends with Tabloids, with the Year 8's leading teams so well. Lots of gentle guiding, supporting, encouraging and the sharing of lollies!! Yum.
