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.

Today, Year 2 enjoyed a wonderful butterfly incursion as part of our learning about butterfly life cycles and all things butterflies. 🐛➡️🦋 The children had the special opportunity to hold sunflowers while the butterflies landed on their flowers, allowing them to see these beautiful creatures up close! It was a truly magical experience and the children were absolutely fluttering with excitement! 🌻🦋

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.
