What’s been happening in the Classrooms

Spelling Bee

Last week, Marian hosted the Townsville Catholic School Spelling Bee. Two students from each grade, 3 to 6, represented Holy Spirit. 

All students should be very proud of their efforts; there were some very difficult words to spell. They demonstrated Our Spirit Way on the night. 

A big congratulations to Maria, who won the Grade 3 Spelling Bee.

Writing

In 4B, we've been working on writing traits and the writing process. Today, the students created sculptures, improved through revision, and gave specific feedback to their peers.

Questacon Science Circus

Next Monday and Tuesday, we will host the Questacon Science Circus for all Prep—Year 6 students. Questacon brings lively science shows to schools across Australia.

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. Entries close on June 3rd.
