Dear Parents and Carers,

Today is ‘World Teachers Day’ however at Our Lady Star of the Sea we like to celebrate it as ‘World Staff Day’ because without each and every staff member working so closely together, we could not accomplish all we do. We are grateful for the commitment and dedication of each staff member and for the individual skills and talents they bring to the school. I receive many comments from parents and the wider community about the high quality of our staff, the compassion and understanding they show to our students, and their willingness to continue to learn to make school a safe and supportive place to be. I would also like to add how much I appreciate their openness, collegiality, sense of humor, and sense of fun, such a wonderful group of people to work with.

Today e also asked the children and staff to wear something red to celebrate ‘Day for Daniel’. The children participated in a variety of activities to help them be aware of being safe at all times. They looked at who are their safe people, what to do if they feel unsafe, and consent, to name a few.
