Learning in Classrooms

HPE Lesson

Our Year 3 students were fortunate to have PE Lessons with members of Sporting Wheelies. Sporting Wheelies' goal is to provide a meaningful and enjoyable experience that raises awareness and understanding of the lives of people with disabilities. 

Technology Lesson

Our Year Three students have been exploring technology in one of the library's learning areas. They are currently learning about the different forms of data, such as numbers, text, images, sounds, animations, and videos, that can be stored or viewed using a digital system.

Pupil Free Day

Last Friday, 26th April, was a pupil-free day. This crucial time allowed our dedicated staff to engage in professional development activities. Our teaching staff continued to deepen their understanding of the Version 9 Australian Curriculum in English and Mathematics, planning effective and engaging lessons. 

At the same time, our school officers worked with Dr Jo Lukin, who spoke about mindfulness in education, its benefits, and strategies for transitioning into mindfulness. She stated, “People perform best when they are mindful.”  Jo also spoke about difficult conversations and words to use to empower without being confrontational and having the skill to step back, evaluate, and observe how we adjust to get back to optimum performance in our role.

Townsville Eisteddfod

Holy Spirit Catholic School has participated in the Townsville Juvenile Eisteddfod for many years. This year, we are excited to announce our participation again. Each class can submit up to five students for the creative writing competition, fostering their creativity and love for writing.

Parents can nominate their children in various sections through the Townsville Juvenile Eisteddfod website.
