Staffing Updates
This term we welcome a new school Psychologist to enable our Chaplaincy program to continue in Stacey's absence. Ms Katrina Brzozowska from Catholic Care joins our team every Tuesday. If you would like to know more about the referral process for Chaplaincy or for our Art Therapy program please contact James Gow.
We also welcome a new CEM appointed Business Manager every Monday fortnight, Mrs Sally Todd. Sally will be working closely with Karen Rowland and myself to enable a cohesive financial management of the school. We are working on contacting all families who are not up to date with school fees at present.
The Music Bus – Open Day
St Anthony’s thoroughly enjoyed the recent visit from the Music Bus. We have received an overwhelming response and we look forward to being able to partner with The Music Bus to bring our students a fun, interactive, collaborative or individual approach to learning music at school. If you have not returned your form it is not too late. The Music Bus will be in touch with you very soon to organise your tuition day and times.
To find out more, visit www.themusicbus.com.au or call 1300 168 742.
Canteen
Please remember from Term 2, our school canteen will only be open for lunches and counter sales on WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. This means no canteen on MONDAY or TUESDAY.
ABSENTEES
If your child is going to be absent from school, please call the school office on 95460044 by 9.00am. Alternatively, you can email the school to notify of your child’s absence at office@sanoblepark.catholic.edu.au, or log the absence via the link on the website.
If we do not receive notification of an absence by 9.30am we are required under regulations to message you at home or work to follow up the absence. Please notify the school of all absences. Please note that prolonged absences without notification will be followed up. Many days absent from school does impact on student learning and programs designed to support students.
Kids Helpline - Anytime Any reason
Kids helpline has an online help domain now. Children who are not comfortable to call the 1800 number can go to the website (see the link above) and enter the age appropriate link to get mental health and wellbeing support.
Learning at Home - A new tab on our website to engage you with home learning
This is a new tab on our website to engage you with your children's home learning. We will post links and useful sites and videos that will enable you to support your child's learning. Please send us feedback via DOJO to enable us to post useful links.
Earn and Learn
Please keep all your Woolies stickers and place them into the box at our local Woolies or here in the school foyer.
Woolies are helping kids across Australia get exciting new equipment for their schools and Early Learning Centres. After delivering over 300,000 pieces of equipment for science, technology, maths, arts and more last time, we've brought Earn & Learn back.
So let's stick together Australia and make this year the biggest one yet.
New Digital tools at St Anthony's
We have recently purchased 50 more student iPads and another 10 for our Learning support educators to support our learning and teaching programs. By housing these devices in the P-2 areas this has enabled us to move all chrome books across to Level 3/4 where students have a 1:1 device. Level 5/6s have Chrome Books. We are very fortunate to be able to provide these tools as a shared resource to support a variety of digital and design thinking and learning. Thanks to Ellis Warrener for working so hard to complete this installation.
