Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

A Morning to Celebrate Our Wonderful Grandparents!

We are delighted to invite all grandparents to join us for a very special morning at school as we celebrate the incredible role they play in our lives. Grandparents are the heart of our families, sharing wisdom, love, and support across generations—and we want to honour them in a meaningful way.

 

Our celebration next Friday, will begin with Open Classrooms at 9:00am, where grandparents can experience the joy of learning alongside their grandchildren. This will be followed by a special Mass dedicated to honouring grandparents and their invaluable contributions to our school community. To conclude the morning, we invite our guests to enjoy a scrumptious morning tea, filled with delicious treats and warm conversations. Grandparents are also welcome to go to the playground to have morning tea with their grandchildren.

 

A special thank you goes to our amazing team of Year Three parents, who are busy making preparations for this event, and to our wonderful families for their generosity in providing the tasty treats that will make our morning tea extra special.

 

For those students whose grandparents are unable to join us, we are blessed to have a wonderful group of parishioners who have kindly volunteered to be there as honorary grandparents. Their presence will ensure that every child feels celebrated and supported on this special day. We hope you can join us for this heartwarming event.

 

Semester One Reports & Parent-Teacher Conferences 

Semester One reports will be available to parents during on Wednesday 25th June. Following the release of reports, we will be holding Parent-Teacher Conferences in Week 9 and Week 10. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity for parents and teachers to come together to discuss each child’s progress, celebrate successes, and collaborate on strategies to support continued learning and development. 

 

Students in Years 3 to 6 will be invited to participate in these Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences. Their involvement encourages student voice and ownership of learning, allowing them to reflect on their achievements, share their goals, and take an active role in their educational journey.  We look forward to these important conversations and thank you for your ongoing partnership in your child’s education.
