Our St Gabriel's Primary School Acting Principal

Dear Families, 

 

"What a lovely way to wrap up Term 2— a cosy day in our pyjamas! The children have had a wonderful time celebrating with their friends and hub educators. 

 

Production Update

Our production team has been working hard to finalise the venue and ticketing details for our amazing performance.  We will share this information with you in Week 1 of Term 3 and tickets will go on sale in Week 2.  There will be ample tickets available for all! Rehearsals have been taking place in music lessons and each group’s item is progressing beautifully with children learning the lyrics and choreography for their song.  It is so wonderful to see the musical and performance talent of our children shining through already! 

 

Uniform Update 

We thank you for your understanding regarding the uniform supplier change.  Noone Uniform Specialists are the uniform provider, however, the stock will be sold from the Bob Stewart store at Uni Hill.  Noone has been excellent to work with and very efficient in the timeline that we have had.  

 

The details of the new store are: 

Bob Stewart Pty Ltd Uni Hill Store 

Uni Hill Town Centre

AddressShop 25C/21 Janefield Dr, Bundoora VIC 3083

Phone(03) 9036 7385

 As we are in a transition period, uniform items cannot be purchased in the coming weeks.  We apologise for this inconvenience and will let you know as soon as uniform purchase can be made from Noone.  Noone will sell the current stock that we have and begin manufacturing as our current lines of stock run out.  

 

School steam- St Gabriel’s New Communication App

In response to parent feedback, St Gabriel's have launched the School Stream app! This app provides a centralized platform to streamline communication with families by keeping everything in the one place. This will be our platform for communication from the beginning of Term 3.  

 

Thank you to those families who have downloaded the app already. Please ensure that you do this over the holidays so that you have access to this app by Wednesday 16th July.   

 

If you have any challenges, please visit https://www.schoolstream.com.au/download/

 

Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools are continuing the comprehensive process to appoint a Principal for St Gabriel’s School.  

 

We wish all our children and families a safe and restful holiday break. We hope this time provides an opportunity to connect with each other and recharge, ready for term 3.  We’re looking forward to an exciting Term 3, filled with special experiences and rich learning. Special events in Term 3 include our Year 5/6 Wakakirri Performance, 100 Days of Prep Celebration and Assembly, Science Week, Book Week and our School Production.  

 

Warm wishes, 

Laura Jane Merrick 

Acting Principal
