Cultural Mural designed by Chisholm students. During the term, Chisholm has been liaising with the Jarara unit to plan a new cultural mural that will be designed and painted by our students.
The Jarara Indigenous Education Unit works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their families across primary and secondary Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta. Their aim is to promote the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and history throughout the Diocese of Parramatta by building cultural awareness and capacity of all.
The mural will be reflective of the landscape and animals in the Hawkesbury area. A series of workshop days have been planned so that all students will be able to learn more about our Australian Indigenous cultural background. This will enable all students to contribute ideas that will make the mural have a significant meaning to each of them.
Our Ignite day will be centered around this and more detail will be given at our first school assembly in Term 4 about the different events that will be happening in preparation for our mural. In Week 3, all students will take part in workshops to contribute to ideas. Bede Polding students will work alongside Chisholm students on Tuesday 29th October to paint the final design.

Catholic Schools & Wellbeing Week This week at Chisholm we celebrated Catholic Schools Week and Wellbeing Week. Throughout the week, our students focused on learning and practising emotional regulation strategies to support positive interactions, strengthen relationships and help everyone feel connected within our school community. Students enjoyed a range of wellbeing activities including mindfulness colouring, drawing, bead making, and the exciting opportunity to challenge staff in games of Newcomb Ball and Handball. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm and teamwork across the school. We look forward to celebrating Wellbeing Week again next term in Week 6. #chisholmcatholicprimaryschool #catholicschoolsweek #wellbeingweek #studentvsteacher

We are back home safe! 🚌 Our final day at Camp Collaroy was the perfect way to finish an incredible few days together. The students took on archery, high ropes, giant swing and abseiling today, showing courage, teamwork and determination right to the very end. Throughout camp the students challenged themselves, supported one another and stepped outside their comfort zones. We made wonderful memories, formed new friendships and saw so many students conquer their fears with confidence and pride. A huge congratulations to our amazing Year 5 students for the way they represented our school. What a fantastic camp experience! 🌟

Year 5 have had another incredible day at Camp Collaroy! Today we conquered the Giant Swing, worked together to strategise and problem-solve during our team initiatives, and showed plenty of courage abseiling down the mammoth wall. We also enjoyed some time down at the beach soaking up the sunshine and having a ball in the sand and surf. Tonight we’re getting ready to battle it out in Bingo and Family Feud for games night. It’s been a huge day filled with fun, teamwork and a few brave moments — and there are definitely some very tired (but very happy!) campers tonight. 🌊☀️🎯

🌱✨Year 3 Visit Bede Polding College! 🌱 Our Year 3 students recently visited Bede Polding College to explore their agricultural plot. With the support of Mr Heath and Bede Polding students, they learnt about growing crops and even picked some fresh produce. 🍅🥬 They also loved patting the sheep and meeting the cutest little ducklings — a definite highlight of the day! Experiences like this bring learning to life and help our students better understand farming. 🐑🦆 A big thank you to Bede Polding College for welcoming us so warmly and sharing your knowledge. We are so grateful for the opportunity! #chisholmcatholicprimaryschool #ChisholmLearners #HandsOnLearning #CommunityConnections

Our students took part in an AFL Clinic where they played some new games and practised skills like handballing and kicking a drop punt. It was a great chance for everyone to have a go and build their confidence. The clinic was also a taster for the After School AFL Program starting next Wednesday, 11th March, on the Chisholm Oval. We hope to see lots of students back out there giving it a go! 🏉 #chisholmcatholicprimaryschool #chisholmsport #auskick #tryafl
