⭐️ 📸 St Matthew’s Students Become Honour Judges! 📸 ⭐️ What a wonderful evening for some of our St Matthew’s students who were invited to attend the Hawkesbury Camera Club Photography Night. Our students had the special opportunity to view a wonderful collection of photographs and take on the important role of honour judges, helping to select photographs to be displayed in the a Hawkesbury Children’s Hospital. 🏥📷 It was fantastic to see our students carefully considering each photograph, discussing what caught their eye and making thoughtful decisions about their selections. A huge thank you to the Hawkesbury Camera Club for welcoming our students and providing them with such a unique and engaging experience. We are incredibly proud of the way our students represented St Matthew’s and embraced this opportunity to contribute to the wider community. #StMatthewsWindsor #HawkesburyCommunity #HawkesburyCameraClub #Photography #StudentVoice #CommunityConnections #HawkesburyHospital

🌎 🌿 Year 5 Exploring Darug Country 🌿 🌎 Our Year 5 students have been exploring the rich history and geography of Darug Country through their English and Geography learning. As part of our Geography focus on “Factors that change environments,” students investigated how people have influenced and changed the natural environment over time. Through the Windsor Convict Walk Trail, students visited St Matthew’s Anglican Church, Windsor Courthouse, Macquarie Arms Hotel, Thompson Square, The Doctor’s House, the Hawkesbury River (Dyarubbin) and Old Windsor Hospital. Students explored how Darug Peoples have cared for and sustainably used Country for thousands of years, before examining how European settlement changed the landscape through farming, land clearing, roads, buildings and other infrastructure. They also considered how the Hawkesbury River provided food, water, fertile land and transport, while flooding influenced where people built and settled. This learning encouraged students to consider different perspectives and understand how people and the natural environment have shaped Windsor over time. #Year5 #DarugCountry #DharugCountry #LearningOnCountry #Geography #English #History #FactorsThatChangeEnvironments #Sustainability #FirstNationsPerspectives #DarugPeoples #Dyarubbin #HawkesburyRiver #WindsorNSW #WindsorHistory #LocalHistory #PlaceBasedLearning #StMatthewsWindsor #StMatthewsPrimary #LearningBeyondTheClassroom

❄️ 💙 Winter Sleepout for the Vinnies Winter Appeal 💙 ❄️ Last Friday night, our school community came together for our Winter Stayout, helping to raise awareness and support for the Vinnies Winter Appeal and those experiencing homelessness in our community. A special thank you to the Bede Polding College student leaders who joined us and spoke with our families about their experiences supporting people who are homeless. Their stories were a wonderful reminder of the importance of compassion, generosity and looking out for those who are most vulnerable. Thank you to all of our students, families and staff who braved the cold, showed solidarity and helped shine a light on an important issue. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. #VinniesWinterAppeal #WinterSleepout #WinterStayout #Vinnies #CommunitySupport #CompassionInAction #KindnessMatters #HelpingOthers #HomelessnessAwareness #CommunitySpirit #Solidarity #CatholicEducation #CatholicSchools #StMatthewsWindsor #StMatthewsPrimary #StMatthewsCommunity
