Library
All of our students have access to our library application, Oliver. Oliver is a web-based learning, teaching, information and library management tool that can be accessed through the Holy Saviour Student Portal. It delivers around the clock, anywhere, anytime access to our school library resources. Take the time to ask your child to open it and you can browse the amazing range of books our library has to offer.
Please CLICK HERE to complete a very brief library survey with your children. We want to ensure we keep our library stocked with relevant and engaging resources to keep children reading books that they enjoy.
Cadbury Fundraiser - Reminder
Thank you to everyone who was able to take and sell Cadbury Chocolate boxes. Just a reminder to those families who may still have money / unsold chocolates, please return these to the school at your earliest convenience. As always, thank you for your support!
Holy Saviour Festival Toy Stall
Although it seems early, Gr3/4EW would like to let you know that we are having a second hand TOY STALL at the Festival in November. We're hoping that if you're doing any clearing out over the holidays, you might save old toys for our stall. From a curriculum perspective we will learn about pricing, counting and handling money and categorising items. We ask that everything be clean and in working order. Your child/ren can drop items at our classroom any time from now.
In anticipation of your support,
3/4EW

Second hand uniforms are currently set up in the office. If anyone is interested in purchasing a second hand uniform, please either come in and speak with either Tarnia or Kerry or email the office with your request and sizing requirements and we will check to see if the item is available. If it is, we will notify you. All we charge for second hand uniforms is a gold coin donation. Please note however that not all sizes and items will be in stock.
Sports Uniform
The new House tops are now available to purchase from PSW.
