Advent
This Sunday is the third Sunday of Advent. We light the “Shepherds Candle” (pink). This reminds us of the Joy the world experienced at the coming birth of Jesus.

Thank you for giving generously to our St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal. Our Mini Vinnies group will pack and sort in readiness to hand over to the St. Vincent de Paul.
St. Vincent de Paul Discos
After the hugely successful infants disco yesterday, primary students are invited to please join us for Primary Christmas Disco this evening in the Primary Campus Hall.
Primary Disco - Thursday 12th November - 6.00pm - 7.30pm
Drop off options:
Please note there will be no parking inside the school grounds, for the safety of our students. If you would like to walk your child in, please park in Hillvue road and enter through the front gate. There is is a drive through drop-off/pick-up option as well, entering through the main driveway (Hillvue Rd) and exiting the same way. Note: the usual Primary Kiss & Drop (from Wongala Street) is not open for use during either disco.
Dress up in Christmas colours/attire! All money raised will go to St. Vincent de Paul, to help people in our local community.
Please note students will be able to also purchase drinks and chips on the night.

LIBRARY
The end of term is coming around super quick and in the Library we are starting to get ready for our end of year stocktake. Overdue notices will be sent out regularly in the next few weeks, as we aim to get all our books returned. If your child receives an overdue notice, could you please assist in returning the book/s ASAP to our library. If you believe there is an error on the notice, please send me a quick email to let me know: cmichell@arm.catholic.edu.au
SORA - Get free eBooks and audio books from your school
We want to encourage students to continue reading during the school holidays. Students of St Edward's have access to SORA, an online library where students can access a wide range of ebooks, audio books and magazines from home. Students will need their student email address and password to login from home, available from their teacher. Below are instructions on how to login to SORA. If you have any problems, please make contact via email cmichell@arm.catholic.edu.au

SCHOOL TV
Today parents face a multitude of modern day challenges in raising happy, well and resilient young people. Whilst there is a great deal of information available, this can often be confusing and overwhelming for parents looking for guidance.
SchoolTV addresses this as an online resource designed to empower you as parents with credible and sound information with realistic, practical ongoing support strategies.
