Principal Reflections

Dear Parents/Carers,
Congratulations to Nikki, Charlie and Emma
Each day, they show up with a smile and a positive attitude, ensuring our students and staff have access to nutritious and delicious food. The canteen is always a busy space running smoothly and efficiently, thanks to the efforts of our canteen team. The cleanliness, organisation, and friendly service are a testament to their professionalism and commitment.
Our canteen staff does so much more than just serve food; they make a significant contribution to the positive atmosphere of our school. We are fortunate that Nikki and her team have taken the initiative to offer a late lunch menu, open to busy parents who need an option for quick access from 9:30am to 12:15pm, ensuring their child receives lunch.
I would also like to note that following a recent inspection by the Environmental Health Office, our team received an excellent 5-star rating in relation to Hygiene and Food Safety standards.
Thanks and congratulations again!
Book Week Parade
A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Book Week Parade last Thursday! Although the weather leading up to this annual event made planning difficult, we were still able to celebrate and acknowledge this important event on our calendar.
Thank you again to Mrs Michell for ensuring the Book Parade was a successful event once again.
It was great to have our school community come together to celebrate and contribute to making this day so special for our students and their families.
Annual School Survey
An annual satisfaction survey of parents, students and staff will be conducted on behalf of all Catholic schools in the Diocese this term. The surveys are designed to gather feedback from parents, staff and students about our school and will be used to inform school improvement. Responses are confidential, and individuals can not be identified. The surveys were launched via email on Monday 25th August 2025, using the email addresses provided to the school. If you do not receive an email with a link to the survey, you can access and complete the survey via the following link.

Until next week,
Keep smiling,
