The Year 3 students in Barbreck have had an exciting and productive year, filled with new experiences and achievements.  

In their English lessons, they explored various genres and text types, developing a solid foundation in both their language and literacy skills. Additionally, the girls worked diligently towards mastering their number and algebraic knowledge and understanding as they began applying critical thinking skills when solving multiplication and division problems.  

The year has been marked by several memorable events. The girls proudly wore their Blazers for the first time, symbolising a new level of responsibility and pride in their St Catherine’s School journey. They also took part in their first-ever inter-House Cross Country and Athletics Carnival, showing determination and team spirit.  

Themed days added an extra layer of excitement to the year, as the girls enthusiastically participated in Wellbeing Day, Charity Day, International Day of the Girl and Olympics Day. Each event offered unique opportunities for learning, fun, collaboration and empowerment.  

One of the most highlighted events for the Year 3 students, was their first-ever camp at Gundiwindi. While on camp with the Year 4 students, the girls embraced outdoor adventures, strengthened their friendships and created lasting memories. 

This year has undoubtedly been one of growth, learning, and unforgettable firsts for the Year 3 students, setting the stage for continued success in the years to come at Barbreck.
