Dance students impressed the crowd with a range of dazzling performances
Hundreds of students from 35 primary and secondary Catholic schools from across the Diocese showcased their creative talents in a series of music, dance and strings performances throughout June, culminating in the ‘Best Of’ performance on 23 June.
The showcase events demonstrated the high calibre of choral, music and dance work from Catholic schools, under the Parramatta Diocese’s creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE.
The program provides learning and performance experiences for students, as well as builds expertise and a sense of community across the system. CAPTIVATE is very popular with five new schools joining the program since last year.

We were blessed with a lovely day for our Infants Sport Festival. Kindy, year 1 and year 2 enjoyed the 9 different running, throwing and novelty events. It was great to see such enthusiasm and excitement of the students to participate in all of the activities. A big thanks and congratulations to our House Captains and yr 6 leaders who helped organise and run each of the events. I think that many parents enjoyed the day as much as the students did. What a great way to celebrate World Kindness Day!11 Nov 2026

It was such a pleasure to welcome our Grandparents to school on Tuesday... Our regular celebrations were postponed from July due to Library works- the beautiful weather on Tuesday made it worth the wait! Students enjoyed showing their learning to Grandparents and Grandparents enjoyed a special Liturgy and morning tea. Special thanks to our P&F for hosting a delicious morning tea.
