Well done to all the students who participated in the 10th Anniversary of Captivate Choir at Quaycentre, Sydney Olympic Park
Students have been rehearsing since February, both during recess and lunch breaks and also at formal off-site rehearsals with other students in the Diocese as well as during the school holidays.
We also acknowledge and thank Mrs Serrao, Mrs Collimore and Mrs Purtell for all their time and effort during all the organisation, rehearsals and night time performances.
CAPTIVATE is the creative and performing arts program for Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta. It provides learning and performance opportunities for students and connects them with Australia's leading creative arts professionals and their wealth of experience and networks.
All students, regardless of prior experience or the location of their school, can access specialist learning in the arts.
The CAPTIVATE Combined Primary Choir is open to all students from Years 3-6. No audition is required. Students participate as part of a school group (e.g. school choir) and meet together to practise singing as a group, grow musically and have fun.

Over the past few weeks, Year 5 have been exploring Geography in Action by learning how geographers investigate real places and collect data. Students participated in a schoolyard investigation where they observed different areas of the school, measured distances using steps, counted features such as trees and bins, collected information about surfaces and how spaces are used, and recorded their findings using tables, tally charts and labelled maps. Through this hands-on learning experience, students developed their skills in observing, measuring, collecting and recording data to better understand their local environment.

What a wonderful start to our St Joseph’s CAFE! A heartfelt thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us for our very first gathering. Your presence, energy and willingness to connect made the evening truly special. Together, we explored practical tips to support reading at home, discovered fun and simple games to build number sense and most importantly, shared ideas and voices about what matters most for our children’s learning and wellbeing. It was fantastic to see families connecting, learning from one another and building a strong sense of community. We are excited to reveal our new name, Joey’s CAFE, chosen by you—our families! Thank you for your input and for helping shape this initiative from the very beginning. We are so grateful for your partnership and can’t wait to continue this journey together at our next Joey's CAFE session! Save the date: Wednesday 2nd September at 5pm.
