School News

The Arts

Our Years 4 – 8 are fortunate to be attending some International Festival of the Arts performances.  Year 5-6 students loved Echoa last week and are currently experimenting with various percussive moves accompanied by their own amazing sound effects. 

Year 7-8 students are really looking forward to hearing Neil Gaiman speak on Friday.  We rather enjoy his style of writing.


Creativity with Andrew Chinn

On Tuesday 2 March we were very fortunate to have Andrew Chinn working with us.  Students took part in singing and movement workshops during the morning, celebrating the joys of living and the presence of God in our lives.  In the afternoon we polished our performance skills and our work culminated in the eveningwith an energy filled concert , supported by just about every mum, dad and caregiver.  Go Cardinal McKeefry School!


Financial Literacy

On a recent Friday, Years 2-6 took part  in some fun, but useful “financial literacy” classes facilitated by Jeffrey Crosby.  Students learned a bit about how to make your money work for you and the value of savings.  Perhaps a small increase in participation in our ASB School Banking is a sign of effectiveness.


Term 1 begins

All students have arrived back at school, well prepared and ready for the interesting and challenging range of learning experiences planned for the next eight weeks.  They include: Aquatics, attending International Festival of the Arts performances, some interesting visitors from the community and more.

Watch this space for reports of some of the things we’ve done.
