Principal’s News

youDear Parents and Carers,

As we journey through the Lenten season towards the great feast of Easter, we are mindful of the importance of turning back to God.  Pope Francis urges us to examine our conscience this Lent by comparing our daily lives to the hardships faced by migrants. Reflecting on the Jubilee theme 'Let us journey together in hope', the Pope said that Lent was a time to confront both personal and collective struggles with faith and compassion. 'A first call to conversion thus comes from the realisation that all of us are pilgrims in this life.'

Enhancing our Home-School Communication

As a school we are always striving to improve the clarity of our communication with our families.  As well as our Newsletter, Facebook Page and periodic emails, we have introduced the new N-Forma App.  It has been great to see how many of our parents and carers who have managed to get connected, using the instructions we have been sharing. Attendance at excursions, camps, etc will require approval via this app so it is very important that we have all parents connected. If you are having troubles, please call into the office and one of us will be able to help you.

Final Term One Assembly

Our final Assembly for Term One will be held on Wednesday 2nd April at 8:45am in the SPA Centre.  We will be having an Easter Hat Parade and we will be drawing the Easter Raffle.  We will be presenting our Student of the Week awards and drawing the Gotcha prizes.  Hoping to see you there.
