Calling all Netball Players!
St Timothy’s netball team currently has 8 players though it looks like they might lose a few next season when they swap to playing on Saturdays. If there are any Holy Saviour students who might be interested in starting up or joining a second team, they’d love to have you on board. They are mainly looking for Grade 4s and Grade 5s, but could easily accommodate a Grade 6, or even a Grade 3 if they were really keen. The games are currently played on Monday nights though this will change to Saturdays in July. The games are held at Sportslink in Vermont. Please contact Laura Di Scala, via email or phone, for more information. (laura_discala@outlook.com 0412782369).
Mobile Phones
Just a Reminder to students and parents of our rules and regulations regarding the use of mobile phones and other personal devices. In our Holy Saviour Acceptable Use of ICT Agreement, it states that students will, “give my teacher a written ‘BYOD consent form’ from my parents/guardians before bringing my own devices to school. Otherwise I will leave my equipment at home.” If you have an urgent message to get to your child, this is to be done via the office, even if your child is offsite at an excursion or interschool sport event. If you cannot get through on the phone, an email to office@hsvs.catholic.edu.auis always promptly responded to. This is important for the care and safety of all children at Holy Saviour.

All students need to wear a hat at school for outside activities and come to school with sunscreen applied on exposed parts of the body.
