HOT DOG SPECIAL LUNCH DAY

This Thursday 18th September we will be having a Special Lunch Day run by the Parents and Friends.  Students who have ordered their Hot Dog and Drink last week, will receive their special lunch order during the middle session of the day.  Unfortunately due to ordering deadlines we are unable to accept any late orders.  A reminder that students can wear their favourite sporting colours on this day.

PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS

Tonight we will be holding our final Parent Teacher Interview Session between 3:30-7:30 pm.  It was wonderful to see all our parents at the interviews and a big thanks to staff for working on two nights until 8:00pm.  Your dedication and hard work is greatly appreciated.

MACSSIS ANNUAL SURVEYS

Each year all Catholic schools survey students, parents and staff.  The surveys are conducted by an outside agency, which selects 80 families to complete a survey.  The selected families had their survey log in details emailed earlier in September, please call the office if you have any issues accessing your survey.  A reminder to the 80 families selected that surveys need to be completed prior to this Friday 19th September.  Students from Year 4-6 completed their online survey last week at school.  The data collected through the survey process provides us with valuable feedback and guides the school’s future direction.
