It was perfect conditions for our 2019 Cross Country, which was held on the school grounds. Aside from the health benefits, running can boost confidence, relieve stress and eliminate depression.
It is not always easy to run on a regular basis, but by taking part in sporting events such as the Cross Country, students have an excellent opportunity to improve their physical fitness and show school spirit.
Cross country is actually a pretty individual sport. The races are all based on individual effort! A personal best or a great workout is all based on you! Although cross country is very individual it is still a team sport too for the students who have qualified to enter the Diocesan Cross Country which is held in Term 2.
An event such as this can not be such a success without the help of the school community.
A huge thank you to all the staff for all you did leading up to the day.
Well done to all of the students who competed and to the parent volunteers who were recorders, field marshals and timekeepers. Thank you also to our Bede Polding students who assisted with keeping the track safe for all of our runners.

Our students proudly represented their favourite teams and sports for Jersey Day! From footy and soccer to netball and everything in between, our school was bursting with colour, team pride and sporting spirit! But Jersey Day is about more than just wearing your favourite jersey. Jersey Day raises awareness about organ donation and encourages important conversations. It was wonderful to see our students getting behind this important cause while celebrating their love of sport with their friends. #chisholmcatholicprimaryschool #jerseyday2026 #chisholmcommunity

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.

It seems to have become somewhat of a tradition… cooking with our buddies! 👩🍳👨🍳 We have thoroughly loved the opportunity to mentor and work closely with our Kindergarten buddies as they learn their way around the kitchen. There’s been plenty of learning, laughter and delicious creations along the way! On this week’s menu was a fresh green herb and spinach dip, paired perfectly with celery sticks and snow peas, all picked fresh from our school gardens. 🌱🥬 Stay tuned for our final cook of the year next term! We can’t wait to see what’s on the menu. #buddycooking #chisholmcatholicprimaryschool #everythinggreen
