What a colourful way to end Term 3! Thank you to all who supported our Footy Colours Day fundraiser which was organised by our Mini Vinnies student group. All proceeds are going back to our local Vinnies to support families who are finding it tough right now. Amongst the joy & banter, we’re glad we can help others. Best wishes to our beautiful community for a relaxing & safe term break 💙

What a brilliant group of young designers we have at St Paul’s. Our annual Young Designer awards are an extension of Science Week & our entrants have been busy labouring on their submission ‘Build a boat from sustainable materials’ during this term using their skills of creativity, problem solving, engineering & physics knowledge just to name a few! Congratulations to all students who entered! 👏

This week, we wore a splash of yellow to share the important message that every day is the day to ask R U OK? In recognition of this incredibly important initiative, our learning community focused on well being activities & emotional awareness to emphasise the importance of being a ‘listening legend’ & responding to other people’s feelings. We especially love our Preps huge ‘listening’ ears! 💛

We were pleased to have two representatives from St Paul’s at the Term 3 Merribek Children’s Reference Group. The focus this term was ‘Moving Around Merribek’ & the transport planner for Merribek City Transport met with the children and asked them for their feedback as to what can the council do to support the local commuters? The children looked at the different ways Merribek commuters get around & it was explained that Merribek want to build a transport system that works well for the community. A key focus was diverse needs. Student voice was invited & the children were encouraged to share their views. Child safety was also a major focus with the children understanding that they have the right to feel safe in public. The Merri-bek Council’s Children’s Reference Group helps increase opportunities for children and young people to influence their decision making and lead their own projects.

Congratulations to our students who recently celebrated their Confirmation. ✝️ They looked amazing! It was wonderful to see the partnership between teachers & families who played an important role in preparing the children for this special Sacrament. Thank you Bishop Terry and Fr. Crispine for celebrating mass. We continue to keep the students in our prayers as they continue their faith journey. 🕊️

Our 'Bush Tucker' project is starting to take shap

Our 'Bush Tucker' project is starting to take shape! 🌱 Thanks to our Woolworths Junior Landcare grant, we have now purchased our garden furniture so we can create our garden beds incorporating Inquiry, Sustainability and Indigenous perspectives. Our Year 5/6 students designed the garden beds during their Inquiry unit so they were very excited to see the finished product from Ciro at 'Mr Fox in a Box'. In the meantime, our Year 3/4 students have been researching which native plants to place in our indigenous and sensory garden beds to prepare for planting next term. Watch this space!🌱

What a fantastic start to Book Week! Award winning

What a fantastic start to Book Week! Award winning author @corinnefenton spent time with our Prep - Year 2 students to talk about one of our favourite shortlisted books ‘Lionel and Me’. We were very spoilt & heard Corrine read the book herself! She shared wonderful stories behind the making of her books as well as heart warming pics of the real Lionel & Maverick. The students then spent time drawing their own Lionel. Thank you Corrine for an inspiring visit & encouraging us to always keep reading! #bookweek2023 #authorvisit @cbca_vic #cbca @bookedoutagency @melbournecatholicschools #bookweek #stpaulscoburg #merribek #coburg3058 #pentridge #bookweek #lightingourpath #kidlit #raisingreaders

We have enjoyed a variety of activities this week to support National Bullying Prevention Week. The students started the week with an incursion by @bullyzero participating in their new program ‘Move & Groove’. The focus of this whole school workshop was resilience and wellbeing & it was a fun way of releasing tension through body movement. Many learning reflections were made & we will gather at assembly next week to make our pledge against bullying.

Book Week may officially kick off next week, but we couldn’t say no to an author visit from the wildly imaginative Tim Harris! Our Year 3 - 6 students had a
‘rat-tastically' time with Tim who shared snippets of his awesome books, inspirational tips for writing, quirky book characters, and did we mention the Ratbags Challenge? Tim demonstrated how reading helps us become better writers and thinkers and he certainly entertained and inspired our students.
Let the Book Week fun begin! 💙📚

It was a double dose of footy fever this week when players from @carlton_fc & @essendonfc made a visit to St Paul’s PS for some Q&A, football tips & of course, a quick game of footy! Students had the opportunity to interact with the players & for some, meet their heroes! Thank you @zacharymerrett07 @zachjreid @jaxonbinns & @nic.newman for an inspiring visit which made our student’s day! The children certainly came away with some important messages about sportsmanship & being a positive example for others.
