From the Principal

Thank you:

Thank you to Michelle Durance, who on Friday supplied the staff at St Thomas More with a morning tea to celebrate World Teacher's Day. The morning tea was welcomed with smiles from the staff. Thanks again. 

Declan on Long Service Leave:

Just a note that I will be on Long Service Leave starting Monday, 23rd of November and returning to work on Wednesday, 2nd of December. During this time, my family and I will be heading up to the Gold Coast as my daughter is competing in the National Competition for Cheerleading. #cheerdad.

Change of Date - Year 6 Fun Day:

Just a note for our Year 6 families, the date for our Year 6 Fun Day has changed. The new date will be Wedensday, 9th of December. 

Christmas Carols and Christmas Picnic:

Last year I received a lot of feedback from parents that they would prefer the Christmas Carols to be an afterschool event so it was easier for families to attend. In 2026 we have indeed made this change. The Christmas Carols event will run on the same night as our annual Christmas / End of Year Picnic. The date and time for this event is as follows; Thursday, 3rd of December commencing at 5:00pm. In order for this to be a success we require as many students to attend as possible. The Carols will run from 5:00pm - 5:30pm and then the picnic will kick off after the singing and run through until 7:30pm.
