Week 10 Term 2

Dear Parents and Carers, 

Thank You for Celebrating Learning With Us!

A huge thank you to our wonderful school community for attending our Celebration of Learning last Thursday.  It was fantastic to see such strong support and involvement. Well done to all the children for their great work and confident presentations you should be very proud!

This newsletter has a list of reminders so please take the time to read this page:

Year 1/2 Parent – Child Faith Education Evenings – June 26

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the faith journey of our students and their families, we will be holding Parent & Child Faith Education Evenings for Year 1/2.

These evenings are a special opportunity for children and their families to come together and explore their faith in a meaningful and engaging way. At least one parent with their child is expected to attend. You are only required to attend once. 

The time and day for 1/2VS & 1/2CW is 

Wednesday, June 26 @ 7:00pm

Important Notice: Change of School Closure Date

Please note that our scheduled School Closure Day has been changed from Thursday, 12th September to Friday, 5th September. This change is due to the availability of our guest speaker for the professional learning day. 

As a result, our Father’s Day Breakfast will now be held on Thursday 4th September. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

Label, Label, Label

Parents are asked to ensure all of your child’s belongings are labelled including lunch boxes, drink bottles and clothing i.e. sports jackets, hats and jumpers, beanies. Labelling items means that they can be returned to their rightful owner.

Extended Family Holidays

We have many families going on very well deserved overseas family holidays in the next few months. Please remember to send an email to the office and your child’s teacher letting us know your child will be on extended leave.

Winter Colds and Hygiene Reminder

As we move through the colder months, we continue to prioritise the health and wellbeing of our students and staff at St Fidelis. Each day, we maintain strong hygiene practices including:

• Hand sanitising before and after eating
• Washing hands after using the toilet
• Using tissues and disposing of them properly
• Operating air purifiers in all learning spaces

We kindly ask that if your child is displaying any cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, cough, sore throat or fever, they remain at home until they are well. This helps to minimise the spread of illness within the school community. If your child becomes unwell during the school day, we will contact you to collect them promptly.

All Communication via NFORMA Parent Portal

A reminder to all families that all school communication is now shared through the NFORMA Parent Portal. It’s important that you are regularly checking the portal to stay up to date with school news, events, and notices.

Please refer to this week’s newsletter for instructions on how to access the portal.  NFORMA is our key communication tool, and staying connected ensures you don’t miss important information.
