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.

Who needs a time machine when you can visit Camden? ⏳ Year 5 stepped back in time and swapped modern-day life for a glimpse into Australia's past. Hands-on experiences, plenty of discoveries and maybe a new appreciation for just how comfortable life is in 2026! 😄 History + adventure = a pretty great day of learning! 💛💚 #Year5 #StepBackInTime #Camden #AustralianHistory #StPatricksParramatta #LearningIsFunAtStPats #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #cspd

Hard work was certainly the order of the day! ⛏️🌾 Year 5 discovered that life on the land and the goldfields was very different from life today. Whether working the farm or dreaming of striking it rich, daily life demanded hard work and determination. A great opportunity to appreciate how people lived, worked and built communities in Australia's past. #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #cspd #learningisfunatStPats #Year5 #AustralianHistory #GoldRush #Camden #StPatricksParramatta

History came to life for Year 5! ⏳ Our visit to Camden gave students a chance to experience what life was like for those who came before us. From the stories to the surroundings and hands-on experiences, students connected their classroom learning to the past in a real way. When history comes alive, learning becomes something to remember! 💛💚 #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #cspd #Year5 #LivingHistory #Camden #StPatricksParramatta #LearningIsFunAtStPats

Learning doesn't always happen behind a desk! 🌿 Year 5 took their learning on the road with a fantastic day in Camden, stepping outside the classroom to explore Australia's past firsthand. There is something pretty special about seeing, doing and experiencing history rather than simply reading about it. A great day of learning, exploring and making memories! 💛💚 #Year5 #LearningOutsideTheClassroom #Camden #StPatricksParramatta #LearningIsFunAtStPats #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats

🪙 Life on the Goldfields! ⛏️🐑 Our Year 5 students certainly got a taste of life on the goldfields during their visit to Camden! From wrangling sheep and paying for goods to trying their luck searching for gold, students experienced some of the challenges and excitement of life during the Gold Rush. History certainly comes alive when you get the chance to step into it! 🐑⛏️🪙 #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #cspd

⛏️ Striking Gold in Year 5! 🪙 Our Year 5 students recently travelled to Camden to step back in time and learn more about the Australian Gold Rush. There is nothing quite like learning in a hands-on way! By experiencing history beyond the classroom, students reinforced their knowledge and deepened their understanding of this important time in Australia’s past. A great day of learning, exploring and perhaps even a little gold fever! ⛏️✨ #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #cspd

Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

🕰️ Way Back When Wednesday 🕰️ This week, we’re heading back into the St Patrick’s archives with a little bit of a difference! While the equipment, classrooms and technology may have changed over the years, one thing certainly hasn’t: our commitment to helping students explore Science, Technology and Mathematics and discover more about the world around them. 🔬➗💡 These photos capture some wonderful hands-on learning from years gone by... but can anyone help us fill in the story? 👀 Do you recognise the year, the people or perhaps even remember what was happening in these photos? We’d love you to share your memories with us in the comments. 💛💚 #BelongToSomethingGreater #cspd2026 #100yearsofcatholiceducation #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #learningisfunatStPats #WayBackWhenWednesday #schoolmemories #100YearsOfCatholicEducation
