Dear Parents and Carers,

Australia will celebrate the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day this Friday 25 October 2024.  

Let’s celebrate Australia’s teachers for their skilled work in educating, inspiring and supporting our students.

Hats off to teachers this World Teachers’ Day! 

On Friday 25  October, you can show your appreciation by posting a “hats off” selfie on social media, either on your own or with family or friends. Grab your hat – beret, beanie, bucket, bowler – and remember to tag #WorldTeachersDay @aitsl

Can all children please wear a hat as an expression of thanks to the teachers at St Fidelis. The children can wear any hat they like for the coming Friday!!

Thank You & Congratulations - LEGO League Team

A huge thank you and heartfelt congratulations to Joe for hosting our first LEGO League competition! Your leadership and coordination made the event a fantastic success.

To our incredible students, well done on your achievements in the competition. Your creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving were truly inspiring.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to all the parent volunteers. We couldn’t have done it without you. It’s always a joy to work in partnership with parents and children to create such meaningful learning experiences.
