The focus of the assembly at Schofields was Religious Education and how we should live Charitably.
Patrick Sills and Mr Feeney introduced the theme and action that will be undertaken at TSC during Lent. Caritas Australia's theme is "Have life and have it to the full". Students were asked to consider how they could contribute to this worthy cause. Year 7 students Georgia Tuite and Emily Robinson shared their experience of the Starfish story and Year 9 students Abby Cowan and Abraham Elias recounted the Butterfly story. The house results were announced - Leading the House competition is Locke, followed by Therry, Brady and Cross. Year 11 leader Deborah Osei-Adomako made a passionate address about the students role in the bullying process and that the STRING movement is for those who witness bullying not to ignore it but ACT now. Mr Smith addressed the assembly by reiterating the message of solidarity and anti-bullying.

Year 11 Advanced English students are diving deep into the context of Shakespeare's Richard III! Students were busy sequencing events from his life and identifying which are historical facts versus those shaped by historically biased sources. This critical understanding will be key to unlocking the power of the play. #English #Shakespeare #RichardIII #ContextIsKey

Our Year 7s had a blast last week fitting the solar system in our school oval on a beautiful autumn day. ☀️ Sun = 1 metre wide 📏 1 metre = 1 AU (Distance from Earth to Sun) Inner Planets: Literally huddling for warmth next to the Sun. ☀️🔥 Jupiter & Beyond: We wish we had a drone to show how much further apart they are! 🛸💨 We had the Earth 1m away from the Sun and Pluto far away at 39m. If we kept that scale, would the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, be in Parramatta or all the way to Canberra? 🌟 #ScienceVibes #Year7 #SpaceIsBig #OrbitLife #STEM #HandsOnLearning

As part of a new pilot program, students at St John Paul II Catholic College are working with a small group of Year 5 students from St Joseph's Primary School Schofields to mentor them in Agriculture. At the Hawkesbury Show, for the first time, two Year 5 students joined us to assist with showing sheep. All students are to be commended for their hard work. We look forward to working with St Joseph's Primary School again. Well done to these students, who competed against high school students in their very first event. 🤩
