Holy Trinity Catholic Primary School Granville students learning together

Year 6 Canberra Excursion

03 Dec 2017

Year 6 Holy Trinity Granville students outside of Parliment House, Canberra.


Year 6 recently went on an educational tour of our Nation’s Capital as a part of our the Year 6 Australian Curriculum.

Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on enhancing the children’s education of Democracy, Leadership and Government.

Our time away seemed a blur but many educational and personal experiences were had by all. This was an exceptional group of Year 6 students who represented their school with great maturity and exceptional behaviour.

๐Ÿ’™ Happy Fatherโ€™s Day! ๐Ÿ’™ Today we celebrate and give thanks for all the special men who have loved, guided and supported us - fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, father-like figures and carers. Your love, strength, wisdom and care make a lasting difference in the lives of our children and families. ๐Ÿ’™ We also remember with love those fathers and father figures who are no longer with us. May their love and memories continue to live on in the hearts of those they have left behind. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ On this special day, we look to St Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and a wonderful example of faithful, selfless and loving fatherhood. May St Joseph continue to guide and bless all fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, carers and father figures as they nurture and care for those entrusted to them. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’™ Happy Fatherโ€™s Day to all the wonderful father figures in our community! ๐ŸŒŸ

Our Year 2 students have been putting their mathematical thinking and creativity to work as they used 2D shapes and 3D objects to design and create their very own cityscapes! Students explored how different shapes and objects can be combined to represent buildings, roads and other features of a city. They carefully planned their designs, identified the shapes and 3D objects they used, and brought their ideas to life through creativity and construction. It was wonderful to see students applying their mathematical knowledge in such a fun and hands-on way while proudly creating their own unique cityscapes!

Our schools are cracking the reading code

Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, itโ€™s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.
