Today we began practising touch typing on our Chromebooks.

Touch typing is a great skill for us to learn as it helps us to become efficient when using our Chromebooks. We began our touch typing journey using the free website – Typing Club. It is a great resource that you can use both at school and at home to help you become a great touch typist!

Learning a new skill is always tricky at first, but with plenty of practise the easier it will become.

Why is it important to learn how to touch type?

What do you need to remember when you are touch typing?

What is your touch typing goal? How can you stretch your thinking in this area?

You can access Typing Club by clicking here or via the Technology tab on this blog.

Tomorrow, our Year Three students will lead our Parish Mass Celebration.

Please join us, Father Anh and Father Joel
at 12 pm in the Sacred Space.

We look forward to seeing you there 🙂

“Land is not a commodity, but rather a gift from God.” – Pope Francis

In the Middles we are firm believers that we need to take care of the earth because it is for everyone.

This Caritas Friday we are encouraged to wear something that represents our connection to the land with our school uniform. This may be the colour green, flowers, leaves etc.

Please bring a gold coin donation to support Project Compassion.
All money raised helps Caritas Australia as they work with local communities to create new hope for a better future.

The middle students are finally able to get using their Chromebooks in the learning spaces now that all our forms have been returned!

As part of our digital technology policy all middle students need to provide a pair of headphones for use with their Chromebooks during learning time.

If you have not brought in a pair of headphones for your Chromebook please make sure you bring it in as soon as possible.

If you have any queries/questions please ask your home group teacher.
