A Message from the Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

Family Mass

Thank you to the many families who attended our first family mass for 2025 last Sunday morning. The students who read were amazing and I received so many comments from the parishioners about how wonderful it was to have young children so involved. Thanks to Mrs Michelle Cortis for organising the fun games after the mass and to the parents who contributed to morning tea, thank you. 

Don’t forget the first Sunday of each month will be a family mass so please note this date in your calendars. All our students and families are invited to attend.

PT & F  Meeting 

I am looking forward to seeing many parents and carers at our meeting this Wednesday at 6.00pm in the library. Attending is a great way to make new friends and contribute to our school community.

School Advisory Council 

We still have a vacancy on our School Advisory Council.  This committee looks at many aspects of school life for example: How do we promote our Catholic School within the Quirindi Community? 

The council operates under the Diocese of Armidale Catholic School Advisory Council Constitution.  The role of the School Advisory Committee is to support the mission of Catholic Education in the school by working with the Principal and Parish Priest to provide guidance and support to the wider school community. The principal has the responsibility  for the day to day leadership and management of the school.

The School Advisory Council has responsibility to advise in the following areas:

• Development of the Catholic Identity, Ethos and Mission of the school;
• The pastoral care strategies in the school community;
• Promotion of the school in the local community;
• Ensuring compliance of school committees eg PT & F;
• Development of local strategic plans eg for buildings & maintenance;
• Facilitating school community responses to Government funding;
• The preparation and publication to the parish and school community of an Annual School Advisory Report.
• Parent engagement in student learning
• The provision of opportunities for parents for social, community and parish interaction and for parents to form supportive networks.If you would like to self nominate or nominate another parent please use the link below.
