Principal's Message
with Mr Brendan Gill
Dear Families
‘Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air.’ Last week was very theatrical, with students attending two musicals and an inhouse Bell Shakespeare performance. It is great for our students to experience live theatre, as it is both entertaining and informative, as well as something in which to aspire.
Talking of theatrical performances, thank you to families and special guests who attended our recent Book Week Parade. It was the first real event we have held in Emmaus. Emmaus is really getting a work out. On that day alone, we had before and after school care, a book week parade, dancing, choir, rock band, Music lessons and school lunches! It certainly has delivered as a real transformational space for John Paul II Catholic School. It reflects the high aspirations we have for our whole school community. Hopefully the library will commence soon. If you can’t find me, I’ll be in a room with some large scissors trying to cut through the red tape!
Kinder enrolments for 2025 are now open and we are filling up! It might be an opportune time to remind any families or friends that are interested. We have very strong interest, so it is likely we will have large numbers as per the demand this year.
Anyone interested can pick up an enrolment pack from the office or just fill out this form: https://johnpaul.tas.edu.au/enrol/how-to-enrol/
Please find below a Save The Date for our Feast Day Celebrations,
