We will have FREE HAT FRIDAY on Friday 20th October, Week 2 (please send in a gold coin donation) and CRAZY SOCK DAY on Wednesday 25th October, Week 3 (this is Children’s Mission Day, please send in a gold coin donation for Catholic Mission). We have a goal of $1,000 to help communities in need. Thank you for your support!

Family Mass - K, 3 & 6 - World Mission Sunday
This Sunday 22nd October (World Mission Sunday) we invite all families to attend our first Family Mass for the term. It is at 9.00am at Mary Help of Christians Church, Hillvue Road. Everyone is then invited to stay and share Morning Tea provided by families from Kindergarten, Year 3 and Year 6. It is a wonderful parish morning and we hope that you are able to join us.
Praying the Rosary
October is the month of the Rosary. The Rosary is a traditional Catholic prayer reflecting on the lives of Jesus and Mary. Students will be praying the Rosary in class each day during the month of October.
LIBRARY NEWS
Book Fair
Thankyou to all our parents and school community that supported our Book Fair. It was a huge success and thanks to your support we will be able to purchase new books that interest and inspire our lucky students.
Early Bird Reading Club
Please remind your child that the Early Bird Reading Club is on each day from 8.30am. This is an opportunity for students to get in some valuable quiet reading time. Every chance to read personal choice books can only help reading development and building reading abilities.
At Infants there is always an opportunity to read with the library staff. Stickers, books and lots of congratulations are always available. At Primary it is quiet independent reading in a warm comfortable space.
