What a way to finish Term 3! ❤️🖤🤍 Our final day b What a way to finish Term 3! ❤️🖤🤍

Our final day began with a beautiful Whole School Mass, coming together as a school community before the holiday break. 🙏

Then it was time for one of our favourite traditions — our annual Footy Parade! 🏉🎉 Students proudly took to the parade team by team, with plenty of cheering, colour and team spirit. Our Grade 6 buddies and their Prep buddies then shared a special lap together. ❤️

Lunchtime brought a delicious sausage sizzle 🌭 before the much-anticipated annual Teachers vs Students Volleyball Match! 🏐

The Grade 6s gave it their best… but the teachers were just too strong this time around! 😉🏆

A fantastic way to wrap up another busy and wonderful term. Wishing all our students, families and staff a safe and relaxing holiday break! ❤️🖤🤍
International Dot Day 🎨 On Monday, our students c International Dot Day 🎨

On Monday, our students celebrated International Dot Day by creating colourful dot-inspired artworks. Each student’s unique creation was later brought together to form a vibrant whole-school display in the front foyer and across our school doors.

Inspired by the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, International Dot Day encourages students to “make their mark” by embracing creativity, celebrating individuality, and having the confidence to see where their imagination can take them.

It was wonderful to see our students’ creativity come together to create something truly special for our school community! 🌈
💛 R U OK? DAY | Thursday 10 September 💛 Sometimes 💛 R U OK? DAY | Thursday 10 September 💛

Sometimes a simple question can make a big difference.

We were reminded that every one of us has a role to play in helping the people around us feel connected, supported and valued.

At St Martin de Porres, we know that wellbeing starts with relationships. It’s about noticing when someone might not be themselves, making time to check in, listening without judgement and reminding each other that we don’t have to face things alone.

We encourage our students, staff and families to:

💬 Ask – “Are you OK?”
👂 Listen – Give someone your time and attention.
💛 Encourage – Help them find the support they need.
🤝 Connect – Keep checking in, not just today, but every day.

A conversation might take two minutes, but knowing someone cares can mean so much more.

Let’s keep looking out for one another. 💛

🩵HAPPY FATHER’S DAY🩵 It was wonderful to see so m 🩵HAPPY FATHER’S DAY🩵

It was wonderful to see so many fathers, grandfathers and special people join us on Friday for our Father’s Day celebrations. The school was filled with smiling faces, laughter and plenty of special moments shared between our students and their loved ones.

A highlight of the morning was our Fathers vs Kids soccer game, which brought plenty of friendly competition and lots of laughs! It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved and having such a great time together. We hope all of our dads have pulled up well and aren’t feeling too sore after their efforts on the field!

During our Open Classrooms, families were invited to join in a range of fun activities with the students. Our Prep students especially loved challenging their dads and special people to sack races, egg and spoon races and a very competitive game of tug-of-war! There was plenty of cheering, encouragement and laughter as everyone joined in the fun.

Thank you to all of the fathers, grandfathers and special male role models who took the time to celebrate with us. Having so many of you at school made the morning incredibly special for our students and created some beautiful memories.

We wish all of our dads, grandfathers and special people a very happy Father’s Day today. We hope you have a wonderful day surrounded by those you love. 🩵🩵🩵
WHEN BOOKS COME TO LIFE - We had way too much fun WHEN BOOKS COME TO LIFE - We had way too much fun with this one during Book Week! 😂

Our students became the stars of some of our favourite books by stepping straight into the pages… quite literally! 📖🙌

There were plenty of laughs as we matched book characters with our very own student bodies. 🤭

Because during Book Week, you don’t just read the story… you become part of it! ❤️📚
