Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Families,

As we begin Winter, and the descent towards the end of term, I know many of you have already been impacted by the vast number of illnesses that are making their way around Ballarat. The attendance of students and staff alike has been impacted enormously already, and the cold and flu season is only beginning. A good time to remind everyone of the importance of hand hygiene and staying home if unwell, to reduce the spread of these viruses.

TUNING in to KIDS WORKSHOP SERIES

Following on from the successful parent information session on ‘Worry and Kids’ earlier this term, we have arranged for Catholic Care to facilitate the ‘Tuning Into Kids’ parent program here at school next term. It will run for 6 consecutive weeks, each Wednesday afternoon at 5.30pm, from 17th July to 21st August. Each session goes for approximately 2 hrs.

In order to make this program more accessible and ‘family friendly’, we are hoping to trial a child-minding service, where parents and carers coming to the sessions can drop their children. We are hoping this will support those who struggle with care for their children, in turn increasing family take-up. 

You need to register with the link in the flyer below. This is a wonderful opportunity, and we are proud to be able to liaise with CC to offer this FREE series of workshops, in light of all the challenges that our children are faced with in today's world. 

Enjoy a fabulous long weekend.

Until I see you in person,

David Garner
