Leaping into creativity! 🐸🎨 Our Siena students have been busy learning about frogs and showcasing their artistic talents. Check out these fantastic frog artworks!

A wise mentor leads someone to their own center and to the Center, but by circuitous paths, using their two steps backward to lead them three steps forward. It may look unproductive, but it is really the wisdom path of God.

Hi Everyone,

Huge Thankyou to Michelle Kirwan who prepared today’s Performing Arts Assembly! It was a fascinating adventure into the talents of our children. Their confidence and ability was just amazing. Thank You so much Kate O'Neill, Imogen Bath and Aimee Vivante who had their band and dance in superlative form and thank you to the many children involved who made it just so special. Holy Rosary’s Got Talent - sure has!

Monday sees our children in Year Three engage with their retreat day to prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Please keep them in your prayers.

And Friday sees everyone attending the Faction Athletics Carnival. This is a BIG event - we hope to see you there.

Best wishes

Mark

Mr Flexman would love some parent marshals for the Year 3 to 6 carnival next Friday. If you are available please send an email to: admin@hrs.wa.edu.au

On Friday 20th September, the students will be invited to wear their pyjamas and bring in a gold coin donation. All money raised will go to Brother Olly’s Wheelchairs for kids.

Wheelchairs for kids

All over the world, millions of children with disabilities can’t get access to adequate wheelchairs—and the impact on their quality of life is profound.

Wheelchairs for Kids is a volunteer-based not-for-profit organisation providing the transformative gift of mobility to children in impoverished and under resourced communities both in Australia and around the globe.

Built to World Health Organisation guidelines, our wheelchairs are purpose-designed to withstand regular use in the rugged terrain and uneven surfaces common in the developing world—opening up a life changing level of mobility and accessibility that would be impossible with a regular wheelchair.

On unpacking the book club orders, we have noticed some substitutions have been made.

If you are unhappy with your order, please contact Scholastic as per your confirmation email, thank you.

You may have heard on the news that Perth is experiencing an increase in the number of people suffering from Influenza A and B as well as COVID. If your child is feeling unwell, please keep them home until they are feeling better and thank you to everyone who is already doing this.

We have also had a couple of confirmed cases of Conjunctivitis and Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease within the school. Please read the below attachments for more information.

Earlier this week, our Year 6 students had an amazing opportunity to visit the Electoral Commission and Parliament House! 🏛️ They learned firsthand about the democratic process, explored the halls of government, and even participated in a mock election. Such a valuable experience in understanding how our voices shape the future!

Please find below the program of events for next weeks sports carnival. We look forward to seeing you there.

In Week 7 these amazing students took part in the national Write a Book in a Day challenge. Tasked with drafting, publishing and illustrating an entire book, our students worked together from 9am until 5pm. So far, these students have raised over $1400 for the Kids Cancer Project - an incredible achievement! Donations can be made to our teams through the following links:

Congratulations to 3D for winning the library trophy!! The Senior Chess Umpires were celebrated and thanked on Wednesday at morning tea. Junior Chess is down to 8 players and Year Five Book Club is halfway through.

This week is Child Protection week and in the library students were reminded that they are the boss of their own body and that they can speak to a trusted adult if they ever have any worries or questions.

The theme this year is “Every Conversation Matters” please do continue the chats with your children at home. https://www.napcan.org.au/final-official-program-webinars-events-2024/
