Principal's Report

Dear Parents/Guardians

Thank you to all those parents who contributed plants, baked goods, and craft items for our recent street stall. A huge thank you to those parent volunteers who braved the cold on Saturday and helped out at the stall, led by Whitney Iaria. Despite the poor weather we sold a lot of items. There are a number of plants, craft items and garden decorations for sale in the office, these will be advertised on Facebook this week. They will be available for the next two weeks.

Closure Days

At our recent School Council meeting I presented the finalised closure dates for 2023. The purpose of closure days is to focus on staff professional development, in line with our Strategic Plan, Annual Action Plan, and Compliance Requirements. In line with the agreement, Catholic Primary Schools in Victoria have seven closure days to allocate annually. Some of these, such as the first and last day of the school year and reporting writing day, are part of the agreement. All other days as mentioned are in line with professional learning and our strategic planning.
