Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know

The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

Reflecting on our Christmas initiatives at Santa Sophia 🎄 As part of the Year 12 Community Service Program, students generously gave their time to support others within our school and the wider community. This year, our students continued their meaningful visits to Catholic Healthcare MacKillop House Aged Care Facility, while also expanding their service through inaugural visits to the Aspect School and the Ambrose Early Learning Centre. Many Year 12 students also supported our younger Santa Sophia brothers and sisters in Years 5 and 6, assisting with activities both in and out of the classroom. Through these experiences, students demonstrated leadership, compassion, and inclusivity—living out the true spirit of service this Christmas. #ChristmasSpirit #Year12 #CommunityService Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
