Student Stationery for 2024
Please find attached the information you require to order your stationery items for 2024 through Lighthouse Books from today, Thursday 23 November. Prompt ordering is important to ensure your child has the stationery required for the start of the 2024 school year.
Please note a late fee will be charged if ordered after Friday 15th December, and family orders will not be available this year. Should you have any further questions please contact the Front Office or Lighthouse Books direct.
2024 Asthma Requirements
As part of our Duty of Care, Good Shepherd requires all students who have stated they require a puffer/spacer at school, to bring these items to the Front Office for storage and administration. We ask for this as any medication that a student takes whilst on site needs to be recorded.
Please ensure an up-to-date Action Plan is presented with the named medication on the first day of school to the Front Office. Blank Asthma Action Plans can be found on the Parent Lounge under the 'School Links' tab.

Front Office
A friendly reminder to notify the front office of the following:
- When your child is absent due to illness, family reasons etc.
- When students are being picked up before the usual dismissal time.
- When students are going on an extended absence. Remember, there is a form available through the front office for this purpose.
Growing Faith at Home
How did you go last week with your Advent Calendar? Here is another simple activity to decorate a window at home in preparation for Christmas. I will also have some hard copies of a Christmas Family Faith Trail booklet which will be available next Monday. Just ask for a copy! I have also included a ‘Growing Faith Moment’ resource about graduating from Primary School with ideas to use for families of young people in who are about to leave our school and step into the new world of secondary school. Why not have a look?
God bless you all!
Blessings, Georgie.

Lunch Time Club Timetable
Please see the Term 4 Lunchtime Club timetable attachment below. It shows students and families what’s on at lunch time.
We would encourage you to use this to help your child reflect on their day and talk about what they played and who they played with at lunch time. It can also be a great tool to use to help your child plan their lunch time, if they are looking for options to connect with their peers in places other than the playground. If you would like a paper copy, please see the Front Office and they will be able to print one for your family. Thank you for all your support in making these clubs happen. It is very much appreciated.
Blessings,
Kate
