100 DAYS OF PREP
On Friday 8th August, we are celebrating the Prep students completing 100 days of school. We are asking that students dress up as if they are 100 years old! Some dress up ideas may be grey hair spray, hair rollers, old shirts, glasses, walking sticks or suspenders etc.
The day will consist of a parade which we invite parents to join us for. After the parade the students will enjoy a day of fun activities to celebrate all their hard work at school so far. If you have any questions please check the Operoo that was sent out today or speak to your child's teacher.
YEAR 6 CONFIRMATION FAMILY NIGHT
As part of your child’s preparation to receive their Sacrament of Confirmation, we will be holding a Family Night next week on Thursday 31st July @ 7:00pm in the St John’s Hall. At this meeting Fr Albert will chat with families about the importance of the Sacrament your child is preparing to receive.
It is expected that all Confirmation Candidates attend this meeting with a parent. During the meeting we will be discussing church requirements such as who is eligible to be a Confirmation Sponsor, the significance of the saint’s name your child chooses to take in Confirmation and the dress code for the celebration.
Below is a list of important dates, in the lead up to celebrating the sacrament. You may wish to mark these on your family calendar:

NATIONALLY CONSISTENT COLLECTION OF DATA (NCCD)
Every year schools complete the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). It counts the number of students who receive adjustments or “help” at school because of a disability. The NCCD helps the government and schools plan for the needs of students with a disability.
