JUNIOR SCHOOL CELEBRATE ST NICHOLAS DAY 2023

As part of the Christmas festivities, the Junior School Celebrated the Feast of St Nicholas by taking part in the Sinterklaas tradition. According to the tradition, good children are given a small gift by St Nicholas on 6th December which is placed in a shoe or sock that is left out the previous night.  The Junior School children have enjoyed learning about other Christmas traditions, and were very excited to open their shoe/sock when they arrived at school in the morning to see what surprises were inside!

All Saints Dress up Day

The first days in November mark two special feast days in the Catholic Church; the feast of All Saints on November 1 and the feast of All Souls on November 2.  To give our Mt Carmel students the opportunity to celebrate All Saints Day, the children participated in a dress up day.  The children learnt more about our many wonderful heavenly friends and got to choose a saint that appealed to them to dress up as that saint for the day.

Rippa Rugby

Rippa Rugby is the new game for young rugby players.  We were very lucky to have Sean from College Rifles visit us last week. He ran some sessions for the whole school to experience Rippa Rugby to give all kids a chance to participate in our national game with ball-handling and running skills.  Rippa Rugby is a very safe, non-contact, easy-to-play game for both boys and girls alike.  Best of all it’s fun and exciting for all involved.

Fire Truck Visit

What a fantastic experience for our children to be visited by two Fire trucks on Tuesday afternoon to school.  The children excitedly gathered around to gain knowledge of how they needed to stay fire safe and escape from a burning building. Learning to use the best safety practice techniques for lifelong behaviors with fire.  Today, we had put it to the test with a practice fire drill.
