Feast of the Sacred Heart - TOMORROW - GROCERY DONATIONS NEEDED URGENTLY

We thank you for your generous donations to the St Vincent De Paul food drive, we will continue to collect items until to early next week. We invite you to join us in celebrating the Feast of the Sacred Heart by viewing the Combined Schools Mass using the YouTube link - click here.

Foundation Prayer Activity Day - Tomorrow

Unfortunately due to our remote learning, the Foundation students were unable to have their scheduled ‘Prayer in Pyjamas Night’ on the 29th of April. We would still like to celebrate with a Foundation Prayer Activity Day tomorrow - Friday, 19th June.

The students will participate in decorating a family candle, making a family prayer mat, participating in The Feast of the Sacred Heart Mass and other activities onsite at school. They will take these items home and invite their families to celebrate in prayer with them. Students are invited to wear a dressing gown over their sports uniform and bring a special teddy or soft toy for the day. We will share parts of the day with families on Seesaw. Please remember families are asked to donate to the St Vincent de Paul Food Hampers. Foundation suggestions are soup, canned fruit or vegetables, tinned tuna, meals in a can and baked beans.

Fee Statements

Fee Statements were emailed to all families this week. Please check your inbox to make sure you have received your statement. If you have not received your Statement please contact Michele Wain to update your details on our database. Thank you to those families who have made payments or who are on payment plans. To those families affected by COVID-19 who wish to seek assistance, please contact the office to organise a meeting with me.

Family Conferences

Our family conferences were scheduled for next week - the last week of term. Due to COVID-19 restrictions these conferences have been put on hold. We will be publishing a revised School Calendar early Term 3.

Winter Uniform

Just a reminder that students are required to attend in their winter uniform. This also means that school shoes must be worn on all days except on the days when your child has sport. Specialist timetable remains the same as last term for the remaining weeks of this term.
