Principal's message

St Monica's is a child-safe school. 

We promote the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all students.

Soccer News

The Grade 6 boys and girls soccer teams took to the field on Wednesday, supported by Mr Feeney, Noah, and our fantastic parent helpers. The boys had a solid day with a mix of results and some strong early wins, while the girls dominated throughout, finishing as overall champions!

 

Congratulations to both teams—your sportsmanship, teamwork, and conduct were an excellent reflection of our school.

2026 Enrolments 

Our initial enrolment period for children entering Foundation for the 2026 school year has concluded and letters of offer have been distributed.  We have opened up a small number of additional places 2026 for Foundation students. I would like to thank our Year 6 students for being fantastic tour guides for a large number of new families.   Incredibly proud of your efforts with some excellent feedback reinforcing their great work. 

 

Master Plan

I have circulated a survey to families regarding our new school Master Plan.  The process invites families to consider what buildings / spaces could be incorporated or updated to enhance our school's outdoor and learning environments.  We look forward to gathering ideas from all key stakeholders in the coming months.
