Dear Parents and Caregivers

Celebrating Community

Our Grandparents Day Liturgy and Morning Tea last Friday was a wonderful celebration. It was great to see so many of our student's grandparents and important elders in their lives in attendance. Thank you to Mr Diep, Miss McGovern and the Year 3 students for leading us in the Liturgy and to all the staff who were part of the Grandparents Day Staff Team. Thank you to all who brought in morning tea too. There was lots of positive feedback and it was great to see everyone enjoying the morning's celebrations and activities.

Keep in Touch

As we progress through Term 4 it is important that we continue to work together to consolidate the learnings this year and assist the students to remain focused on their learning. We encourage parents and caregivers to continue to have conversations with teachers in regard to their child/ren's progress and where the need arises, request and book a meeting to catch up.

Congratulations Interschool Athletics Team

Congratulations to our Interschool Athletics Team last week who competed in the CPSSA Athletics Competition. The students represented St Helena's with pride and competed well throughout the day, with some impressive efforts by all. Thank you Mr Clarke for preparing the students. Thanks too, to the staff and parents that assisted on the day.
