The 1989 Premiership Cup Visited St James
Last Friday Robert "Dipper" Dipierdomenico brought the 1989 Premiership Cup for us to see. Dipper entertained us all in the Community Centre as part of our Footy Day celebrations. There were many brave students who got up and sang their AFL Club's theme song.
While Dipper's words were related to footy, he reinforced the importance of; persistence, resilience, dedication to practice and having long term goals.

Marathon Club 2026
We are looking for a few parents to take on the role of marathon club coordinators for 2026. Katrina and Belinda have done a wonderful job in sharing this role over the past few years. The Wednesday mornings can be supported by parent volunteers to set up, serve and pack up. The coordinators role is to purchase the breakfast and communicate with the school office regarding dates, times and payment. A form will be sent out early next term with further information.

Bronwyn, our wonderful Book Club Coordinator will be stepping down at the end of Term 4 as her son is in Grade 6. We are looking for a book lover who would enjoy taking on this role for 2026. If you are interested, please contact the office.
