Earlier this year, Stage Three, in collaboration with the Dubbo School of Distance Education - NSW DEC and the Department of Planning and Environment participated in the 'Dark Sky' project.
Not long after, the opportunity came up for us to work with UTS: University of Technology Sydney to feature in a mini documentary on Project Based Learning; an approach we have been using successfully for many years across all years at St Matt's.
For such a small school we do some amazing things! Here is a short clip that features just our school. We hope after watching it you are as proud of our students and their learning as we are.

βοΈ ππ» Morning Prayer Gathering ππ» βοΈ This morning we gathered together as a school community for prayer, reflecting on the beginning of the Lenten season. It was especially wonderful to hear some of our year one students bravely speaking for the very first time on the microphone β what a beautiful way to share their journey with us. We are so proud of their courage and confidence. As we enter this sacred season of Lent, we take time to pause, reflect, and grow together in faith. We warmly welcome all members of our school community to join us each Thursday morning at 8:45am for prayer. #MorningPrayer #BeginningOfLent #Lent2026 #FaithInAction #CatholicEducation #SchoolCommunity #GrowingInFaith #PrimarySchoolLife #AllAreWelcome

βοΈ ASH WEDNESDAY βοΈ Today we gathered as a community to mark Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the sacred season of Lent. Today we received ashes on our foreheads in the shape of a cross, a gentle reminder that we belong to God and are called to turn our hearts back to Him. As we begin this Lenten journey, we remember the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew 6:21: βFor where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.β During these 40 days, we are invited to pray more deeply, give generously and care for those in need. May this season be a time of renewal, kindness and hope for our whole community. Let us walk together towards Easter with open hearts. #AshWednesday #Lent2026 #FaithlnAction #CatholicEducation
