Dear Parents and Caregivers
Parish/School and Sacrament Enrolment Mass
We hope to see lots of our families at this weekend's Parish School Mass, which will also be the Enrolment Mass for the students receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.
Home/School Partnership - Interviews
Classroom Teachers from Pre-Primary to Year 6 are starting to reach out to parents and caregivers to schedule parent/teacher interviews. Really important that parents and caregivers secure a date and time to celebrate your child's achievements thus far and discuss future goals. IEP Meetings will take place in Week 1 of Term 2 and Kindy Interviews will take place early in Term 2.
