Parent Engagement - Kindergarten Home Reading Program Session 

Beginning Week Seven (17th March), Kindergarten students will begin bringing home reading books for home learning. This is an exciting and important learning time for students and families. Reinforcement of a love for reading and learning of reading skills is vital at home as well as at school. 

We would love to offer parents an information session about how best to engage your child with their home reader with some useful tips that may help you make the most out of this time with your child each day. 

Session One - Online only - Thursday 20th March 5pm - link is to follow 

Session Two - Online and Face to Face (in the school hall) - Friday 21st March 8:40am

Please only attend one session 

If your child is in Year One or Two and you would also like to attend, please feel free.

Harmony Day - 21st March

Harmony Week is the celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.

At Holy Family, we celebrate Harmony Day through activities that recognise and celebrate the diversity of our school (in 2024 our students spoke 19 different languages!). 

Our students are also asked to wear a touch of orange - the official colour of Harmony Day. This means that students still wear their school/sports uniform and normal shoes but can complement this with orange socks, hair ties or accessories.

School Travel Passes

Students who require a School Opal card or travel pass but have not yet applied need to apply or update their details as soon as possible.  In the Opal network, students should travel with a Child/Youth Opal card until they receive their valid School Opal card.  

 Students/parents should confirm with their nominated operator if they do not receive a pass. 

All students are required to comply with the student code of conduct. The code of conduct aims to ensure the safety and well-being of school children and other passengers. It is important that parents ensure their child is aware of this, as failure to comply with the code of conduct can result in a suspension from travel.

Have a lovely weekend
