The Class of 2024 were officially farewelled at the end of year mass and Year 6 Graduation ceremony. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together, among family and friends, acknowledging their final journey as student leaders of St Martin's Catholic Primary School.
With an abundance of memories, significant milestones, and enduring friendships, our amazing Year 6 students have marked the end of an unforgettable chapter with bright futures.
Congratulations Class of 2024... we wish you all the best as you embark on your Year 7 journey.
We have some tradies in the making at St Martin's! Our Reception students have been on the tools and hands-on learning in Our Shed, a purpose-built space focusing on wellbeing and provides an opportunity to take a break from regular classroom learning.
Under the guidance of Mr Kuerschner our Sustainability Officer, and with the assistance from Year 5 students, the Reception students have been building their own wooden car. Learning to use hand tools, including hammers and screwdrivers, the tinker sessions have made a significant impact on their self-esteem and confidence, developing a sense of agency - that "can-do" mindset.
A popular space for our student to try their hand at woodwork, Our Shed will be relocating to a new spot on our school grounds ahead of the new building works scheduled for next year.
We celebrated our amazing students at the 2024 St Martin's Awards Assembly held on Friday 6 December 2024. Students have participated in numerous extra-curricular activities throughout the year from Children's University, Numerical Acumen, ICAS, Jump Rope for Hear, and more.
Students have also represented St Martin's in various sports, as well as showing leadership through the many groups we offer, including Student Voice, Justice Group, or taking on the role of School Captain.
We are very proud of all our students, their eagerness to try new things, and flourish. Congratulations to all participating students, award recipients, and to the St Martin's staff for providing these opportunities for our students.
