On Wednesday morning, the Hon. Amanda Rishworth MP, Federal Member for Kingston and Minister for Social Services, visited Galilee for Community Prayer. During the event, the Year 1 students led the community in a special Mother's Day prayer to express gratitude for the special women in our lives.
After prayer, Minister Rishworth presented Galilee with new flags and explained each flag's significance to the students, including the Australian flag, the Aboriginal flag, and the Torres Strait Islander flag.
Our Student Ambassadors accepted these flags on behalf of Galilee, and our student leaders have committed to taking care of the flags and ensuring that they are flown with respect.

Our Year 10 Football Academy has just completed a rigorous 4-week athletic development program at Limitless Athletic Development. The program focused on improving strength, speed, pregame priming, and aerobic conditioning, preparing our players to dominate on the football field this year. We are excited to witness their electrifying performances this season.
We express our gratitude to Ben Yeomans and Shaun King of Limitless Athletic Development for their valuable contribution to the Year 10 Football Academy program. Their involvement has helped our footballers understand the significance of athletic development in their football journey.
During Term 1, Marian students in Year 8 took part in a basketball workshop organised by Basketball SA as part of their Physical Education classes.
Under the guidance of basketball professionals, the students took part in a variety of engaging basketball activities. The main objective of this initiative was to introduce students to the wide range of opportunities that basketball provides beyond the school environment.
The Galilee school sports activities had a fantastic start over the weekend, with basketball games held on Friday and soccer games on Saturday!
Galilee hosted three soccer games, and we would like to express our gratitude to the coaches for volunteering. Witnessing the joy and excitement on the students' faces was truly beautiful.
Marcellin Year 12 student Lincoln recently competed in the School Sport Australia tournament held in the ACT as a part of the State Under 18s Baseball team for South Australia. The team won the Bronze medal in the 3rd place playoff.
Lincoln played a significant role in securing the victory for SA and was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) for South Australia in the game against the ACT.
Congratulations, Lincoln, on your excellent performance in the tournament!
The Marian Year 12 Nutrition students have been busy conducting a practical to discover how digestion occurs. They used a range of enzymes to simulate digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in preparation for their design summative later in the term.
Year 3s from Kerry Janssan's homegroup learn about the Autumn/Parnati season and plant lettuce, snow peas, and garden peas in their salad plot.
We want to express our gratitude to the parent volunteers for their invaluable support!
Last term as part of Galilee’s Indigenous Garden project, Indigenous students and their buddies participated in a ‘bush tucker taste test’ to try foods related to plants that could be planted in the garden.
Students were invited to look, smell, and/or taste the following foods:
- River mint jelly
- Native Bush Dukkah
- Bush apple paste
- Lemon myrtle tea
- Finger lime paste
- Lemon myrtle and raspberry jam
The students had the following recommendations:
Lilah – ‘We should definitely plant the river mint. It tastes like toothpaste!’
Mason – ‘The Bush apple paste is so sweet!’
Grace – ‘I like the native bush dukkah with bread and olive oil.’
Lennox – ‘I think we should plant lemon myrtle so we can make the tea.’
