PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

Staffing News

 Please keep Bianca Vesico and her family in your prayers at this time, her grandfather passed away last Thursday evening. Bianca will be away for the funeral in Sydney some of this week.

Reconciliation

Next week, our Sacrament of Reconciliation evening will take place. This liturgy is limited by COVID restrictions to 50 people, therefore only the Reconciliation candidate and one parent are able to attend, along with the priests and some staff from the school. Please keep these students in your prayers.

Teaching and Learning Focus

Currently, teachers are finalising Semester One reports, which will be sent home in the last week of term. These reports are based on student growth over the last six months, both onsite and remote learning. There will be a formal opportunity to meet with class teachers early in term three, however, please feel free to contact your child’s class teacher if you have any questions.

Parent Engagement

Thursday 17th June, 2:30pm, there will be a meeting to plan for Social and Fundraising activities for the remainder of the year. Please notify the office if you plan to attend this meeting, as depending on restrictions this may be an online meeting.

Ritchies Community Benefit Cards - Important information!

Ritchies are about to complete the transition to our new Ritchies Card Loyalty program from July 2020. Information as below:-

So how does the Community Benefit program work?

When joining the Ritchies Card program you are given the option to nominate your favourite club, school or charity (known as Recipients). Each time you scan your card (either physical card or electronic card in the App) when making a purchase at any of our participating stores, the total is recorded to your chosen club, school or charity. At the end of each month, Ritchies will pay your chosen club, school or charity .5% of the total accrued directly into the Recipient’s nominated bank account.

How you join:

The new Ritchies Card is easy for you to join either using a phone and downloading the Ritchies Card App from the App Store or Google Play, or by going online to www.ritchies.com.au/loyalty using a tablet or desktop computer. 

Community members, family, and friends can then pick up a physical card available from our friendly cashiers in-store, which they then link to their app or online account. Once you have set up your account you can then nominate the school as your organisation.
