Dance students impressed the crowd with a range of dazzling performances
Hundreds of students from 35 primary and secondary Catholic schools from across the Diocese showcased their creative talents in a series of music, dance and strings performances throughout June, culminating in the ‘Best Of’ performance on 23 June.
The showcase events demonstrated the high calibre of choral, music and dance work from Catholic schools, under the Parramatta Diocese’s creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE.
The program provides learning and performance experiences for students, as well as builds expertise and a sense of community across the system.
CAPTIVATE is very popular with five new schools joining the program since last year.

We certainly didn't hit the snooze button for our Pyjama Day, in solidarity with the Vinnies Winter Appeal. Coinciding with the Feast of the Sacred Heart, our community showed their generosity and love through the countless donations to help those in our community. Well done to our Faith in Action Team, who organised a great (and cosy) day to support the people who may not be ask lucky as we are.

Year 3 went to Lane Cove National Park for a day of learning about the Aboriginal and First Contacts as part of their History unit. Students made canoes using natural resources along the way. They tested them out to see if they floated. Along the hike, they shared stories about the First Contact People. Year 3 saw the remnants of what would have been a shell midden. Lines and dots were placed across our hands to connect us to country. Students were able to try and make spears by placing the sticks and rubbing them across the sandstone rocks, as well as some twining and weaving.

Get ready to be persuaded! Our amazing Year 4 students have been hard at work crafting convincing arguments for the world's most useless products! You won't believe the lengths they've gone to make these pointless products sound absolutely essential. We're so proud of their pen-tastic writing skills! Which "useless" invention do you think would be the hardest to sell?

Our Year 1 students had a toad-ally awesome time at the Hills Shire Library Frog Club! They were hoppy to learn more about reading and how important it is. It was a fantastic way to encourage their love for reading, proving that books can help you leap into new worlds of knowledge! We hope this experience helps them ribbit through more books this year!
