St Monica's Primary School
Term 3
As we head into the final week of Term 3, we want to extend a massive thank you to our incredible staff, students, and families for their hard work and dedication throughout this busy winter term.
Next week marks the official conclusion of Term 3, and we encourage everyone to stay focused for these final few days as we finish the term strong.
We wish our entire school community a safe, restful, and invigorating Term 3 holiday—enjoy the well-deserved spring break, and we look forward to seeing everyone back refreshed for Term 4!
Term 3 Concludes on Friday, 18 September @ 2:15 PM.
We hope everyone has a safe and restful upcoming school holiday break!
R U OK?
It was great to see the school awash with yellow in support of R U OK? Day. Students had activities and checked in with each other in a show of support for the day. More details in Student Wellbeing section.
Father's Day Breakfast
Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s Father’s Day Breakfast! The school was buzzing as dads, granddads, and special guests enjoyed hot coffee, fresh donuts, and exciting paper plane flying contest with their proud children.
A huge thank you to our amazing P&F volunteers and staff who helped set up and serve early to make the morning so special. We hope all our father figures had a wonderful Father's Day!
Hats are back at Mon's
At the beginning of Term 4, school hats are required to be worn when students are outside. Students are asked to (find and) wear their hats, so we can remain safe from the increasing temps and UV!
Sunscreen is available for students in classrooms and additional sunscreen stations are located around the school grounds.
Sacramental Program
Congratulations to all our amazing students who just made their First Communion and Confirmation last Friday night!
We're so proud of them for taking this next step in their faith journey. More details in Catholic Identity section.
