Dear Families,
Welcome to Week 1 of Term 4!
It has been wonderful talking to everyone this week and hearing about their time away from school.
It seems that most individuals have returned rested and raring to go for Term 4! Please read the 'Important Dates' page as we have a busy term. Class newsletters will also be coming home with specific details for each level. Please read carefully.
Congratulations to our students who competed at Divison Athletics this week. We had two students progress through to Regionals: Odeleyah and Benito. What an amazing achievement! Well done on all the hard work and practice you have engaged in your events!
Thank you to parents and to Ms Tash for all your contributions to these achievements too!
I must also congratulate Kintan, Daniel and Viraj on qualifying for the District level too.
One of the highlights of the year is Italian Day, which is next Friday, 18 October.
Students can come to school dressed in the colours of the Italian flag or inspired by famous Italians.
The day will include a range of activities, pizza and gelato for lunch (provided by the school) and a performance by Luigi Zucchini. We look forward to celebrating this day with everyone.
Although school will be providing pizza and gelato for lunch, please still pack food for lunch as we may not be able to fill all the hungry tummies!
In response to feedback, we are refining our communication at St Peter’s School to make it clearer and more consistent across the classes. Moving forward:
We appreciate your support in streamlining our communication processes.
Just a reminder about uniform requirements. This is the last year where yellow polo tops are part of our uniform. From 2025 all students should be in the updated green and gold top.
We no longer require students to wear their house colour top for PE lessons. Grey shorts and trousers are also no longer part of the uniform. As students grow out of current items, please replace them with the updated green shorts and pants available.
We have a photo shoot booked on Thursday 17 October to be able to update the school website. Please ensure your child is wearing correct uniform as outlined below.
We look forward to see many of you tomorrow afternoon as we celebrate the Special People in our lives with an afternoon tea. Our wonderful P&F have organised this day. Come and have a quiet cup of tea or coffee and a snack from 2pm if you would like to enjoy an uninterrupted opportunity to eat or drink! Or you can join us when you pick up your students at the end of the day. Soft drinks will be available to purchase for $1.
Our amazing P&F are organising a Colour Fun Run to be held on Friday 15 November.
Please register your child We are asking students to get donations with prizes available, depending on the amount of money raised by individuals.
We are raising money to re-surface the basketball court at the back of the school. This will compliment our updated adventure playground. We would like the area to look something like this:
The more money we raise during the Fun run, the sooner we can upgrade our outdoor space!
Please read the information in this newsletter carefully- there is a lot we are trying to communicate!
I hope that everyone has a great week.
