🎨✨ Spirited Arts 2025 – Exploring Spirituality Through Creativity! ✨🎨
From our youngest 2-year-olds to our oldest Year 6s, every child in school has taken part in this year’s Spirited Arts competition, using their creativity to explore some of life’s biggest and most meaningful ideas.
Children across the school responded to a range of inspiring themes:
🐾 All God’s Creatures
🌍 Living in a Diverse World
⛪ Sacred Spaces
💭 Thinking About God
Using paint, clay, drawing, collage and mixed media, the children expressed their thoughts and questions in imaginative, beautiful and powerful ways. Their artwork explores big ideas like the wonder of animals and nature, the importance of community and difference, the feeling of being in a special or sacred space and how people picture or relate to God.
This project has given children the opportunity to explore spirituality in their own way - reflecting on what matters most to them, what they find awe-inspiring and how they connect with the world and people around them.
From colourful celebrations of life to thoughtful reflections on belief and belonging, each piece is a window into how our children see and make sense of the world - and their place in it. 🌈🕊️🖌️ ... See MoreSee Less

⭐️🏆James Knott Learner of the Year Celebration 2025⭐️🏆
Today we were very proud to announce some very special children who were chosen to receive special awards in front of their friends, families and teachers for their dedication, determination and incredible effort this year. 🎖
Each class had four awards available: 'Learner of the Year', Amazing Achievement, Incredible Effort and Spectacular Reading!
There were also awards available for amazing attendance, Grade 1 music awards and Musician of the Year.🎷🎼
So many children have impressed us with their fantastic attitude to learning this year, so choosing just a few was a very difficult decision for the class teachers!
Well done to this year's deserving winners! We are so proud of you all. Your positivity, determination, and love of learning have made you all wonderful role models to others. 👏🌟
