Seamus O'Keeffe (year 4), Nathan O'Flynn (year 1), KC Cruz (year 4), Nicole de Bruyn (year 6), Isy Gold (year 2) and Anh Do (year 5).
The St Canice's Primary School art gallery is located outside the school, at 158 Katoomba Street.
Each year since 2021, we display student artwork for half of the year and our photo exhibition photos for the rest of the year.
It all started in 2021 after COVID. We were sad that nobody could see what we were doing in school. We thought we should bring our school outside because people could not come inside. And that is how our art gallery started. It helped brighten people's day at a difficult time.
Isy Gold (year 2) points to her photograph, Flowers in Bloom, part of the exhibition.
So what do the students think about the art gallery?
As Isy Gold in Year 2 said: "It helps us, especially if we are having a bad day. One look at our gallery brings smiles to our faces."
One look at our gallery brings smiles to our faces.

Seamus O'Keeffe, in Year 4, told us: "It is a great way of advertising our school in a creative way."
KC Cruz, also in Year 4, agreed. She said that the gallery brightens up Katoomba Street and the photos show the wonderful places and nature in the area.

Nicole de Bruyn in Year 6 borrowed a familiar phrase. "A picture tells a thousand words," she said. "Our beautiful pictures say so much about us, our school and Katoomba."
Our photo exhibition is the legacy of past principal, Mark Geerligs, whose vision was to give the entire community the opportunity to showcase our beautiful Blue Mountains home through photography.
All community members of all ages are invited to participate. So get involved and send your shots of our world heritage home to stcanices@parra.catholic.edu.au.

Lights! Camera! ACTION! Today was St Canice's Drama Showcase Performance! Every student in the school had a part to play and performed a variety of entertaining separate plays. A big thank you to our parents who were an amazing audience! A special thanks must go out to Jaiden and Rob for helping with the lighting. Thank you both! Most importantly, this day would not have been possible if it was not for Ms Dani's great work in preparing our students for the performances. Ms Dani, it was a great success and we cannot thank you enough!

Today we had the biggest turn out for Chess Club in the history of the club. Chess Club is currently using chess online to learn to play chess. The great thing about chess online is that the computer won't let the player make an illegal move. Chess online is a great place to learn the basics. Chess Club is on Every Wednesday at Lunch with Mr McCarthy in the Library. #stcaniceskatoomba💙 #chessclub♟♟♟

Farewell to our exchange students and teachers from Hong Kong. St Canice's has been blessed with 28 students, their teachers and support staff since Wednesday 3 April. They have added an extra dimension to our little school. They have been very conscientious students with a great capacity to engage with us and enjoy us as much as we have enjoyed having them. We will bid them a final farewell this afternoon at 2:20 with a short Assembly that you are most welcome to attend.
