Principal's Update

Safeguarding Sunday

This weekend, the Catholic Church in Australia marks Safeguarding Sunday, on which we pray for those who have been abused, their families and supporters. We recognise and apologise for the harm done by priests, religious and lay people in Church settings. Rebuilding trust and confidence in the Church requires constant work and vigilance. We recommit to cultural change that will help the Church be a place that builds and supports safe communities for all people.

“Every child, in every community, needs a fair go”

To treat all of Australia’s children fairly, we need to make

sure every family and community has what kids need to

thrive and be healthy.

Attendance

Going to school every day is the most important part of your child's education. There are 

no safe number of days for missing school - each day a student misses puts them behind 

and can affect their educational outcomes and their social connectedness. The best thing you can do is support your child to get to school every day.

A positive attitude towards school, healthy habits and routines, and parental involvement 

can support your child’s regular school attendance and prevent chronic absence patterns.

Hats

A reminder to all families that the children were required to wear a School Hat from the beginning of September. Children not wearing their hats are required to sit outside the Grade 1/2 area.

Every year, our incoming Prep students receive a hat on their transition day. This is their Prep hat and can only be worn in their first year of school. From the beginning of Grade 1, students must have a school hat, not the coloured hat they were given to wear in Prep.

School hats are available for purchase through our uniform supplier - Hip Pocket Workwear in Sloss Street.

Thank You

A super call out to Ian C, Christopher and Mr Smith for constructing our GagaPit today. This is a new addition to our playground and the Health Team will introduce the new game to the children over the next week. 

Check out the video link below to see the Gaga Pit in action.

Have a great weekend. For those still with football or netball teams in the finals, good luck and may your teams continue to enjoy success.

Yours respectfully in Christ

Andrea
