Welcome to Term 3

Welcome to a new term and to the first edition of our refreshed Holy Spirit Primary School Newsletter. We are excited to launch this newsletter alongside our new school website as part of our commitment to strengthening communication and connection with our community. Together, these platforms will provide families with timely updates, celebrations of learning, important information, and a glimpse into the wonderful experiences taking place across our school.

I would like to highlight that we are having a Parent's Information Session for Calm Mind: Supporting Children's Emotional Regulation on Tuesday, 4th August at 7pm. Tracy Bentin, our school psychologist, will be speaking on the night about ways we can support the mental health and emotional intelligence of our children. It would be great to see you there as Tracy offers expertise and skills in this area. Please register your interest via the link.

I also encourage families to visit Catholic School Parents Victoria (CSPV) and read their newsletter: https://cspv.catholic.edu.au/news/

CSPV represents the voice of parents in Catholic education, providing valuable information, practical parenting resources and advocacy to support families in their child's learning, wellbeing and faith journey.

As One Community, Inspired by the Holy Spirit, we look forward to sharing the many achievements, opportunities, and moments that make Holy Spirit Primary School such a special place to learn and grow.
