Reminders
Italian Day
Start thinking about your costumes ready to celebrate Italian Day in Week 6 on Tuesday 10th November.
Students and staff from Foundation to Year 6 are invited to dress up in Italian colours and/or as famous Italian people.
Italian activities will be planned for lunch time on the oval and in the Library.
The school canteen will have traditional Italian food on the menu for the day.
Bring a gold coin donation for the Mock Trevi Fountain during TA - raising money for Catholic Mission.
School hats
The weather continues to warm up and the UV Index is on the rise so we ask families to please check their children have their St Augustine's College hat at school with them.
As per the College SunSmart Policy, school hats are now required to be worn when outside at lunchtime and recess and for outdoor class activities.
New hats can be purchased from the College Office for $15 - eftpos or cash (correct amount is appreciated where possible).

Communicating with Staff
We have the privilege of meeting with parents and connecting with families on various occasions across the term. At St Augustine’s College, we deeply value these opportunities to strengthen our partnerships and work together in support of our students. We recognise that parents are the first educators of their children and play a vital role in shaping their behaviours, both positive and challenging. Open and honest communication is key to fostering a supportive school environment and we are grateful for a parent community that shares our commitment to nurturing each child’s growth and development.
We ask that parents engage in conversations with our staff with respect, trust in our processes and support the follow-up actions necessary for their child’s development and wellbeing. Similar expectations exist in many other organisations and by working together with mutual respect and understanding, we can continue to provide a safe, positive and thriving learning environment for all.
Our staff are on site and available during the following times:
Monday: 8:30am - 3:45pm
Tuesday: 8:30am - 4:30pm
Wednesday: 8:30am - 4:30pm
Thursday: 8:30am - 3:45pm
Friday: 8:15am - 3:45pm
However, whilst these are the working times, our staff are busy organising and planning lessons, teaching classes and/or engaged in relevant staff meetings. We ask that if you wish to make contact with your child’s teacher, please contact your child’s TA for a meeting.
Communication via email is also appropriate during work hours, however please allow staff up to 48 hours to respond. We thank you for your consideration in this matter.
