Message from the 

Principal

Dear Families,

 

Welcome to Book Week!

What an exciting week we have already had! Students have enjoyed our mystery readers in the library during break times and the pop-up library on the artificial grass on Monday. Of course, the highlight of the week will be our Book Parade on Friday.

 

A big shout-out to Karla Crosby, who has organised an amazing week of activities, competitions, and events for our students. We invite all families to join us on Friday at 9:15am for the excitement and celebration of the Book Parade.

 

Next Friday brings another favourite event for our students, dads, and other significant male role models. Our Father's Day Stall will be running throughout the day, our Junior Liturgy will be held at 12:40pm, and it will also be Footy Colours Day.

 

Thank you to everyone who is helping to organise and support these wonderful events.

This week recipients is:   Jordy

 

Respect for our environment.  While on duty one morning last week I witnessed Jordy picking up rubbish as he was walking with his little brother.  No one had asked him, he just did it because it was the right thing to do.  Thank you for looking after our school Jordy.

Secondhand Uniforms

If you have any school uniforms you no longer need, we would be so grateful if you could donate them to school. The demand is growing. 

 

School Hours (Repeat)

Please note that the schoolyard is unsupervised before 8:30 am. There are still many children on the grounds prior to this time and there is no teacher on duty.  

For the safety of your children, I ask that they are not dropped off at school before 8:30am.

 

Mobile Phone and Smartwatch Reminder (Repeat)

A reminder to families that all ‘smart’ devices, including mobile phones and smartwatches, must be handed to teachers first thing in the morning when students arrive at school. These devices are then securely stored for the duration of the school day and returned to students at dismissal time.

This practice supports a focused learning environment and aligns with our school and diocesan policies. We appreciate your ongoing support in reinforcing this expectation with your children.
