Loud Sock Day Friday 13th October
This year, Loud Socks Day will take place at St Luke’s Catholic Primary in Week 1, on Friday 13th October. This day provides our school community with a fantastic opportunity to get loud and show support for children with hearing loss around Australia.
Please bring a gold coin donation and wear your brightest socks with your usual Friday uniform. Stay tuned for some fun facts about hearing over the PA in Week 1, as we count down to Loud Socks Day.
Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to seeing everyone get LOUD!

When our students were challenged to innovate and think of something else other than their lunch box to bring their lunch to school, who would have thought there would be such a diverse range of containers coming through! Boxes were upcycled, tool boxes emptied, Lego was used as Bento boxes and there were many unique containers that came to school. Some favourites from the day were the rim of a sombrero being used, shoes as lunch boxes, a microwave created, banana leaves around food, Santa sacks being used earlier in the year, lunches wrapped in newspaper, mini wheelbarrows with a new purpose, an old CD storage case that perfectly fit a bagel, pillow cases decorated, lots of creative efforts and of course there were lots of smiles.
We have had a wonderful time in our Science classes being innovative with a straw paper plane after learning about the history of flight and many students chose to have a go with the daily lunch time competitions. Our Kindergarten students had the chance to make straw rockets and our Pre Kindy students took home a special rock. Even our staff were enjoying daily quizzes, Science fun jokes and the area around the Science Room was decorated with their favourite innovations – which resulted in a lot of discussions about their choices.
Science Week was a great opportunity to celebrate all of the students in our school who are curious, inquisitive, creative, persistent, open-minded, analytical and all round awesome. Throughout the week we looked at the innovations that have shaped our lives, the innovators who thought of them and we have even dared to dream about the innovations that are yet to come.

The 'Saints' basketball team is made up of 8 out of 9 St Luke’s players from Year 6. The team joined only 2 years ago with none of the boys having ever played basketball. After enduring many losses at the beginning of their journey, they have worked hard and worked their way to Division 1. They are about to play in the Grand Final of the Under 12s 1st Division Saturday group.
If you would like to support the boys, their game is at 9am at Warwick Stadium, Court 1, this Saturday 16th September.
