Principal’s Report

Book Week

We will be having our Book Week dress up day on Thursday 17th August. Students and staff are invited to dress up in their favourite character, based on the theme "READ, GROW, INSPIRE" or wear pjs for the day. We will be having our Parade on the asphalt at 9am (weather permitting). At 2pm 'The Blurbs' will perform a concert in our school hall.

Catholic Schools Athletics Carnival

Next Wednesday 16th August a large number of students in Grades 3 to 6 will be competing in the Catholic Schools Athletics Carnival. The carnival is being held at the La Trobe Athletics track in Flora Hill. We wish all competing students the best of luck and hope they enjoy the experience.

St Kilian’s Debutante Balls

The school hosts two St Kilian’s Debutante Balls on the evenings of Friday 25th August and Saturday 26th August, in the St Kilian’s Hall. These events have been in the planning phase for over 12 months by the Deb Ball committee. I thank them for all of their dedicated and hard work in organising the balls and wish them every success for the events. The committee will be looking for support in the lead up to, during and after the event so please sign up as a volunteer. Register via the sign up links in this newsletter.

2024 Students

Planning for the 2024 school year has begun. To assist with this process, if you know your child (in Grade Prep to 5) will be leaving St Kilian’s School at the end of the year, except the graduating Grade 6 class, could you please inform me via email or a letter of your intentions as soon as possible. By doing this, it will assist in organising staffing and class numbers for the 2024 school year. I thank you for your assistance, in advance, for the parents who this applies to.

School Uniform

Correct school uniform is required and the following rules should be observed:

(a) Complete school uniform should be worn on every normal school day, right shoes, socks, jumpers and hats.

(b) School tracksuit and sneakers are to be worn only on Phys Ed/Sports/Gym days.

(c) If a full school uniform or tracksuit is not worn on the appropriate day, a written explanation should be given to your child's class teacher.
