Good Shepherd School

Principal Message

Dear Parents and Guardians

 

It's been another fabulous week at Good Shepherd with our Foundation/Prep students celebrating 50 days of learning today.  They are so excited to present a special item at our next assembly on Monday morning commencing at 9am in the Performing Arts building. Parents are welcome to attend and there is no need to sign in at the school office.  

 

In our newsletter today you will read all about the Year 4 assembly, Feast of the Good Shepherd Mass, CARITAS project compassion and many other school activities that promote student voice and leadership.  

 

There are many more activities taking place over the next few weeks including; district cross country, school photos and incursions.  Our Parents and Friends have planned some very special activities such as the Mothers Day stall and Parent Trivia night.  Thank you to the parents who have expressed interest in the School Advisory Council.  I will contact them next week with further information.  The next SAC meeting is on Tuesday 21 May.  

 

An important reminder that our Foundation/Prep enrolments are due for the 2025 school year.

Parents - Principal Feedback sessions

I would like to invite you to attend a session to provide me with any feedback as to what is working well and what could be done differently at Good Shepherd.  In my first year as your new Principal it is very important to me that I hear the story of Good Shepherd.  My hope is that collectively we can explore certain areas of school life and reflect and plan for improvement.  

The sessions will be:

  1. Tuesday 14 May from 8:45am - 9:30am
  2. Tuesday 14 May from 2:15pm - 3pm
