2018 Year Of Youth 2

2018 Year Of Youth 3

 

A special Faith in Action Team (FIAT) event happened on Monday 10th September for all Year 5 students. The Year of Youth Celebration Day!

The Year of Youth Celebration Day was a response to the launch of the Year of Youth in 2018. ‘Open New Horizons for Spreading Joy’ was the theme for the day.

Students participated in a comprehensive whole-day program, coordinated by St Michael’s Faith in Action Team teachers, assisted by nine volunteers and supported by Year 5 teachers. Students were able to ask questions and listen to responses relating to vocations and the life of the Church, with our Parish Priest, Fr Wim Hoekstra. Paul Fam [St Michael’s Youth Minister ], Sr Rosie Drum [Assistant Director of Catholic Youth Parramatta], and Parramatta Diocesan Youth Leaders engaged in discussion, activities, prayer, praise and worship experiences with our Year 5 students.

The day of engagement included purposeful Creative Arts activities, [dance, music, drama and visual art] with the themes of faith, mercy and love. There were many opportunities on the day for our school and parish communities to build stronger connections.

Through their participation in the Year of Youth Celebration Day, Year 5 students have developed a deeper understanding of how important their role is as young people in our church and have been inspired to actively live their faith.

With his former running guide and mate, Harry (who returned for the event this year despite now attending high school), by his side once again, the duo took to the track like pros πŸ’ͺ Despite changes in his vision and a new classification this year, Harrison’s determination never wavered. With the track mapped out in his mind and confidence in his stride, he sprinted his way to an incredible 2nd place finish πŸ₯ˆ Next stop… PSSA! ❀️ We are so proud of Harrisonβ€”his resilience, grit and glowing smile inspire us all πŸŒŸπŸ‘ #ParramattaPride #PSSAHereWeCome #ChampionSpirit #InclusionMatters #NeverGiveUp #ResilientRunner #SchoolPride #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills

    πŸ’₯ A force to be reckoned with! πŸ’₯ This term, Year 5 has been studying the Science topic β€œForces” πŸ§²πŸ”¬ Over the past few weeks, students have researched and investigated a variety of forces in preparation for a thrilling challenge πŸ’‘βš™οΈ The big question was: β€œHow can we make forces weaker or stronger to accurately land a ping pong ball into a container from a distance of 3 metres using a catapult?” πŸ—οΈπŸ“ Using only pop sticks, elastic bands and a spoon, students worked collaboratively to design and build their own catapults. Some serious designing, experimenting and adjusting took place before the final models were revealed πŸ”§πŸ“πŸ§  At the moment of truth, each group had 3 attempts to test their design. While no group managed a direct hit, a few came incredibly close β€” and everyone had a blast along the way! πŸ™ŒπŸŽ― Lots of fun and lots of learning πŸ’«πŸ“š #Year5Science #HandsOnLearning #ForcesInAction #STEMchallenge #LearningIsFun #FutureEngineers #CatapultChallenge #PrimaryScience #CreativeKids #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills
