Principal's News
All students attending St Louis de Montfort's Aspendale have the right to feel safe.
The care, safety and well-being of children and young people
It is a fundamental responsibility of all within our school.
Good afternoon, families,
What a beautiful autumn week it has been to kick off Term 2! I hope you all had a refreshing break and are as excited as we are for another action-packed term here at St Louis.
ANZAC Day
Today, we pause to observe ANZAC Day, a deeply significant moment in the Australian calendar. We honour the memory of the Australians and New Zealanders who served and sacrificed their lives in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping missions.
This morning, our school captains, two more of our Year students, and Mr Wood proudly represented St Louis at the Kingston Council’s ANZAC march in Chelsea to commemorate the anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landing.
Senior Athletics Carnival
Last Wednesday was a standout day for our community. Between the perfect weather, our amazing students, and our hard-working staff, the Senior Athletics Carnival was a resounding success.
A special thank you to:
- Mr Andrew for his seamless organisation.
- Mrs. Stefanec and Frank for their help with equipment logistics.
- The staff and students from Mentone Girls Secondary College for assisting with the activities.
- All the parents who cheered from the sidelines and volunteered their time.
Lightning Premiership
Our Year 6 students gave it their all at the Lightning Premiership yesterday. Huge congratulations to our Boys' Cricket and Basketball teams, who have both successfully progressed to the regional finals later this year! Thank you to our Year 6 teachers, LSOs, and Mr Andrew for their support throughout the day.
