Out and About the School
Canteen News
We are excited to announce that the successful tender for the running of the school canteen has been given to The Little Blue Wren Cafe. Jenna Patterson is the face behind this exciting venture and we welcome Jenna and her team to St Xavier’s. Jenna is hoping to be up and running next Wednesday, 18th June (a notification will be sent to families to confirm this).
Baking
This term students have been baking some delicious treats under the guidance of Mrs Redfern. They baked some lovely banana muffins which have been put in the freezer at the parish hall for parishioners to enjoy with their Sunday morning cuppa or for anyone needing a little sweet treat.

Important Reminders for Parents
School Hat Reminder
We have noticed many students arriving each day without hats. Please make sure your child brings a hat daily, clearly labeled with their name.
Uniform Policy Reminder
Sports Uniform for Boys and Girls
- Navy embroidered logo shorts
- Embroidered logo shirt
- Microfibre embroidered tracksuit
- SPORTS SOCKS-Must be plain white and cover the ankles. Students with incorrect socks will be asked to attend the Office and change their socks.
- School Hats with St Xavier’s logo must be worn all year round. Please label all clothing, especially hats.
- Shoes: School shoes must be completely black school shoes, boots or joggers. Skate style shoes are not acceptable footwear.
Hair
Hair should be neat and tidy at all times and if long must be tied back using maroon, black, navy or white bands or ribbons. Students wearing incorrect bands or ribbons will be asked to attend the Office for a replacement. Extreme haircuts and mullet type hair cuts are not acceptable and best saved for holidays.
No makeup or coloured fingernail polish is to be worn at any time. Nail polish remover is available in the Office and students will be asked to remove incorrect polish.
Jewellery
Students will be asked to remove incorrect jewellery and place it in a snap lock bag to take home.
Birthday Food
Please keep in mind we have children in every grade across the school who have particular food allergies. Some of these are very serious and we need to keep everyone safe. The best options for a class birthday treat at school are water icy poles or a lollipop per child. It is best to avoid cakes, muffins etc. We appreciate your support in this area.
School Fees
Fee instalments are due by the 21st of each month. If you have not paid your instalment, could you please do so now. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact Jeni Muller via email: jmuller4@arm.catholic.edu.au or phone 67421136.
