From the Principal's Desk...
Dear Parents and Caregivers
It has been a busy couple of weeks at St Helena's for our students and staff and we are looking forward to the last one and a half weeks together. The final eNewsletter for the year will come out next week. I encourage all members of the school community to take the time to read my Principal Report from the Annual Community Meeting last Thursday evening on our website here.
We look forward to our Christmas Carols this Friday evening. The students and staff have once again done an amazing job in preparing for what promises to be a wonderful evening! Thank you Miss Robinson and all our staff for your efforts in preparing the students.
Our Year 6 students and their family and staff will be coming together at St Helena of the Holy Cross Church for their Graduation Mass on Tuesday 3 December at 6:00pm. We will be celebrating and thanking God for the Year 6 student's Primary School years, and pray for them as they embark on their new adventures into High School. At the conclusion of Mass we will be presenting our Year 6 awards.
On Thursday 6 December at 8:30am we will be holding a special awards assembly, presenting the ‘Something Beautiful for God’ Christian Citizenship Award and the Academic Endeavour Award to two students from each class from Kindergarten to Year 5. Parents of award recipients will soon be notified.
We celebrate our Thanksgiving Mass on Friday 7 December at 11:15am. We will come together for the last time as a school community this year to thank God for all our blessings at St Helena’s Catholic Primary School in 2024. Thank you Miss Myles and Mr Vine for planning and coordinating the Mass. At the conclusion of Mass we will be announcing our 2025 Year 6 School Leaders. They will then be presented with their badges at the Opening School Mass at the beginning of next year.
Thank you to everyone who has already brought in items for our St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. It is not too late to contribute and support our community and reach out to those in need this Christmas.
Peace & Happy Days!
Santino Giancono
Principal
