Principal's message
St Monica's is a child-safe school.
We promote the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all students.
Principal Leave
I will be on Principal Enrichment Leave from 9th June - 27 July. During this time, I will be overseas undertaking a series of short courses aimed at further developing my leadership knowledge and practice.
In my absence, Anthony Chalkley will assume the role of Acting Principal, and Daniel Boulton will serve as Acting Deputy Principal. I thank them both for their leadership and support during this period.
🖨️ New 3D Printers Funded by Our P&F!
We are excited to share that our school has recently order two new Bambu Lab P2S 3D printers, made possible through the incredible fundraising efforts of our Parents & Friends (P&F) Association.
These high-performance printers will greatly enhance our STEM, design, and technology learning programs. Students will now have even more opportunities to design, prototype, and create—bringing their ideas to life with precision and creativity.
The addition of these advanced tools supports the development of key future-focused skills, including problem-solving, innovation, and digital design.
We extend our sincere thanks to the P&F and our wider community for your ongoing support. Your commitment continues to make a meaningful difference in enriching student learning.
Cross Country
It has been wonderful to see our students representing the school with pride at the Sandhurst Division Cross Country on 22 May, where 29 students competed.
Congratulations to Annabel, Alice, Emery and Ivy, who placed in the top 12 and progressed to the Regional Cross Country in St Arnaud on 2 June. Competing against the best in the region, all four showed great determination and should be very proud.
A special mention to Alice, who placed 9th and will now compete at the State Championships in July. We wish her all the very best.
