Principal Reflections
Around the Classrooms
I have been so impressed with the work that is being completed in class. I have noticed students asking good questions, reflecting on success criteria and being able to articulate what they can do to improve. This was also noticed by the School Performance Team who shared their reflections on the daily work we do at our school. This week I would like to share some great work from Miss Holman's Year 5 class. Please see Wynter's and Evan's writing tasks from their Big Type today.

The Role of School Fees in Our Catholic School
Our Catholic School is not just an educational institution; it is a community built on shared values and a commitment to the holistic development of every child. To provide the high standard of education, facilities, and programs that we offer, we rely heavily on the financial contributions made by our families through school fees.
Regular, ongoing payment of school fees is essential for the smooth operation of our school. When fees are paid on time, it allows us to plan and allocate resources effectively, ensuring that all aspects of the school can run without interruption.
I understand that some families may face financial difficulties, and we encourage anyone in this situation to please make contact with us.
I would like to thank you for your ongoing commitment to our school community. Your contributions through school fees are not just payments; they are investments in your child’s future and in the future of our community. Together, we can continue to provide an environment where every child can thrive academically, spiritually, and personally.
