Today we held the “Dress as a Farmer” fundraiser to help support the farming communities suffering through the drought. We raised $1300 – a great effort from everyone. The money raised will go directly to SchoolAid to support the “Hay and Hampers for Hope” fundraising initiative.
The Yr 6 “Eco-Energiser” team have been looking at ways for Rosary to reduce waste going to landfill. As part of this initiative they asked the canteen to look at alternatives to styrofoam cups. These have now been replaced by paper cups which can be recycled. Great work “Eco-Energisers” and thank you to the canteen for supporting our recycling initiatives.
Tomorrow the school will celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, 10am at Rosary Church. Everyone is welcome to join us.
Last night Yr5 wowed the audience at the Canberra Theatre with their Wakakirri Performance “Diamond in the Rough” (A retelling of Aladdin). Before the curtain came up there were a lot of nerves backstage but as the music started they hit their stride and delivered an energised, colourful and polished performance. Their expressive characterisation ensured that the audience were taken along for the ride as the story unfolded. A fantastic effort from all involved!
Last Wednesday Kinder achieved the milestone of being at school for 100 days! This special day was celebrated by making 100 in different ways, as well as playing all kinds of games with 100 numbers in them. Kinder also spent time with their buddies creating '100' body art, eating gelato and going on a hunt around the school for 100 lollies. Congratulation Kinder!
A great effort from all the students at today's Athletics Carnival. Thanks to the helpers and organisers for making it such a wonderful day!
Last week students from Years 4,5 and 6 were entertained watching an enthralling bilingual puppet performance of 'Aladdin and the Magic Lamp', performed in both Indonesian and English.
In the last week of Term 2 Kinder were lucky enough to have Ben (James’ dad) come and teach Science for the whole morning. Some of the exciting experiments included crushing a can with heat, changing fluorescent colours, burning paper (that didn’t really burn), looking through microscopes and making fossils. Kinder had an amazing time and learnt so much. Thanks Ben!
On the last day of Term 2 we held our "Performance Assembly". The students were entertained with music, magic and dance. Well done to all the performers!

Today we held the ‘Waka Working Bee’. It was a busy day with lots of cutting, sewing and painting. Thank you to everyone involved, the costumes, backdrops and props are taking shape. Year 5 have been working hard on their Wakakirri performance ‘Diamond in the Rough’ and are looking forward to presenting it at the Canberra Theatre on Wednesday 8 August.
It was wonderful to see so many people at the Mid-Winter Mingle last Friday. The night was filled with delicious food, fabulous music and conversation. A big thank you to the ACU for providing the venue and catering and to everyone involved in the organisation of the event.
Rosary’s Mid-Winter Mingle is on this Friday 6:00-7:30. There will be drinks, canapés, live entertainment and a silent auction with a great range of items available. If you haven’t got a ticket yet they are available from the front office. It is sure to be a fantastic evening – hope to see you there!
Last night the students had a fun filled evening with their friends at the school disco. There was much energetic dancing and smiles all around. A big thank you to the Yr 3 parents who were on the organising committee and who helped on the night.
Year 6 have been having lots of fun over the last few weeks learning how to program using Lego Robotics. They have had to work as part of a team to design solutions in order to successfully navigate their robots around a variety of obstacles. Thank you to Andrew from SysSTEMic Innovations for providing us with such wonderful and fun learning experiences!

Today was the last day of Running Club for this term. The students have had a great time and it will resume in the second half of Term 3 when the weather warms up.
