St Ita's Catholic Primary School Dutton Park

What a wild visit! 🦎
Year 4 loved getting up close with amazing Aussie animals thanks to Geckoes Wildlife - from tiny sugar gliders to a big goanna and carpet python, plus a tawny frogmouth and bearded dragon! Their curiosity shone through with so many thoughtful questions, and the session was packed with fascinating facts about food chains and food webs, life cycles and the important role each animal plays - a fantastic extension of their Science learning this term.

What an incredible Parliament of Wizards! Our Year 6 students proudly presented their bills, showcasing fantastic writing, speaking and creativity. The effort cast into every detail - from their brilliant ideas to their spellbinding hats and capes - it was all outstanding ✨🧙‍♂️ Each year, the magic just keeps getting stronger. Well done Year 6!

Sunshine, sport and team spirit! ☀️
Our Year 4, 5 and 6 students had a fantastic day at Gala Sport Day, taking on local schools in soccer, netball and Oztag. So great to see everyone playing together, cheering each other on and enjoying the day as a team!

On Monday our Year 3 students enjoyed a wonderful Confirmation Retreat at Good Shepherd Parish as they continue preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Through song, dance, prayer and engaging activities, they explored the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit and how these can be lived out each day.
A joyful and meaningful day of faith, learning and fellowship - thank you to Mrs Lovat and the team from Encounter Catholic Kids for supporting our students on this special journey.

The sun finally made an appearance to finish off the week ☀️ Students made the most of it, soaking up some sunshine out on the lawn. Wishing everyone a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Last week, our futsal players took to the court with great skill and spirit! ⚽️
Students represented St Ita’s with so much pride and we couldn't be prouder! A huge congratulations to those selected to represent Qld City at the National Championships later this year — we’ll be cheering you on!
