"For this alliance may so happy prove..." (William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet) And so it did for these talented drama 🎭students from Catherine McAuley Westmead who recently competed in the Western Sydney Regional Shakespeare Carnival Finals hosted by Penrith Selective High School. 😍✨ Maxinne Paylaga, Keira Santa Maria, Amelia Lovely, Ashmitha Sathiyaprakash, Christi Siauw and Adriana Mitri took out the top spot 🥇in the Self-Devised category with their Romeo & Juliet-inspired piece ‘TWO HOUSEHOLDS IN…WHERE?', booking a place in the Shakespeare Carnival State Final at the Seymour Centre on 2 June. While the Ensemble group came second in their category. 🥈 Tim Martin from CSPD's creative and performing arts program, CAPTIVATE, (pictured with the winning group) said: “Both casts worked so hard on their pieces, even coming in over the holidays to rehearse and fine-tune their performances. 🥰 We could not be more proud of them and their hard efforts paid off. We thank everyone at Catherine McAuley for their support and encouragement.” 🤩 Find out more about our amazing CAPTIVATE program on our website here: https://www.parra.catholic.edu.au/learning/specialised-learning/creative-and-performing-arts

💦 What's a little mud between friends?! 😆 Year 5 and 6 students from St Monica's Primary Richmond visited the 💚 Great Aussie Bush Camp 💛 last week and judging by these smiles, they had a blast! 🏃♀️🌳 🚣 (Perhaps more fun than their parents had when the kids returned home with their muddy clothes...😜😝) Our schools recognise how much students get out of learning experiences outside the classroom, which is why they offer so many fantastic extracurricular opportunities. To learn more about what St Monica's offers students 'beyond the classroom' visit their website! 💻 @stmonicasrichmond @thegreataussiebushcamp #cspd #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #schoolcamp #excursions #extracurriculars

Who knew handball skills could form such an important part of an Assistant Principal's tool kit?! 😜😄 Key to becoming a great leader is establishing trust in relationships, especially those formed with students who are the centre of all we do in our Catholic schools. 🙋♀️🙋🎒🏫 Louise Kingsley, the Assistant Principal (AP) at Holy Family Primary Granville has some excellent strategies up her sleeve for doing just that! 🥰👍 Get to know more about the important role of an AP in our schools with this profile of Louise on our website. 💻 ==> https://www.parra.catholic.edu.au/LeadershipandHandball24 Holy Family Primary School, East Granville
