Principal's Message 

TERM 4 SEMESTER 2

 Bonjour à tous,

What a busy week we've all had.  Everyone will need a well earned rest over the weekend.

Thank you to Mr Whittle for all his hard work in getting the school performance up and running.  What a wonderful display of talent we have at St Laurence's.  A lot of work went into getting the children concert ready and I'm sure that the performance was enjoyed by everyone.  Thank you to everyone who donated a gold coin or note to help with the costs associated with running an event like this.  

We are heading into the busy slide to the end of the term.  Lots to do before we finish out the school year.  Bikes have been checked over and given the all clear for our ride to Koonwarra for the gr 5 students and Meeniyan for the gr 6 students.  Our 3/4's are heading off to camp to have some fun.  The juniors will show off their skills in the junior athletics day which is always a fun day.  Grade 6 students will have their graduation Mass in December counting down the last of their primary school years.

CHURCH CARPARK  Can parents please be mindful of carpark etiquette when dropping off and picking up children.  We are still having issues with children running around the carpark while cars are backing out.  Please talk to your children about going direcly to your car or, a safer option would be to collect your child from the crossing and walk to your car together.   We have put out cones to prevent cars from entering and exiting near the crossing driveway to make it safer.  This has helped but we still need you as parents/carers to take responsibility for your child/rens safety.  

Please note that we are waiting for approval for students to commence the 2027 school year on Friday 29th January.  We have locked that date in but will let you know if this changes.  

Happy camping to the 3/4 cohert on Monday.  

Merci,

Have a lovely weekend.

Liz
