UPCOMING WHOLE SCHOOL EVENT:

St. Finbar’s Swimming Carnival : Friday 24th November

Our Term 4 sporting highlight is our Whole School Swimming Carnival, set to take place on Friday 24th November.  All students will travel by bus to MSAC and participate in swimming events in the outdoor, under-cover pool.  The Junior and Senior carnival will be run in the same pool, with a boom helping separating the two carnivals.  

 Parents: please lock this date into your diaries now!  This event does require the wonderful support from numerous parent helpers for both the Junior (P-2) and Senior (3-6) carnivals.  An Operoo email with all relevant details will be sent out to all families in the next couple of weeks.

RETURN of all BORROWED SPORT SINGLETS, FOOTY JERSEYS & SOCCER SHIN GUARDS.

If we can please ask all families to have a good search at home & ensure their child has handed back all borrowed Football, HoopTime, Winter Sport & Lightning Prem sports singlets/jerseys & shin guards please.  We still have a few shin guards & jerseys to be returned.   Please ask your child to hand them back into the office for Mrs Thompson to collect.  THANK YOU!
