From our Principal
St Roch’s School theme 2025:
Dear Families,
Welcome to Issue 10 of our iNewsletter! We hope this newsletter continues to keep you up to date with all the news, events and learning that happens at St Roch's.
Welcome to Term 3!
We hope you had a restful break and are ready for a great term ahead. As we begin this new term, it's a good time to reflect on the role we each play in making our school a better place—whether through teaching, leading a team, supporting students, or helping our school community thrive. Thank you to everyone who contributes to making a positive difference at St Roch's.
We are excited to welcome you back for what promises to be a vibrant and memorable Term 3 at our school. This term is filled with wonderful opportunities to come together as a community and celebrate learning, connection, and school spirit.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Grandparents’ and Special Friends Morning, a heart-warming event that coincides with our much-loved Book Fair—always a highlight for our students and families alike.
Our students will be taking part in a number of engaging experiences, including Sports Gala Days, Prep to Year 6 Excursions to the State Library, and our Prep students celebrating their 100 Days of School—a joyful milestone in their learning journey.
Our Year 6 students continue to grow in their leadership roles, actively contributing to school life through a variety of meaningful initiatives.
This term will also see our Major Fundraiser 'A Night to Remember', a fantastic event that brings our whole school community together in support and celebration of all that makes our school special.
We look forward to sharing these experiences with you and thank you for your continued support.
Wishing you all a happy, productive, and joyful Term 3!
