Joke of the Week

A mother was anxiously awaiting her daughter's plane. She had just come back from a far away land trying to find adventure.

As the daughter was exiting the plane, the mother noticed a man directly behind her daughter dressed in feathers with exotic markings all over his body and carrying a shrunken head. The daughter introduced this man as her new husband.

The mother gasped in disbelief and disappointment and screamed, "I said for you to marry a RICH Doctor! A RICH Doctor!"

Parent Helpers Needed for Lunch Order Pickups

We are seeking some Parent Helpers this term to assist with lunch order pickups. 

Please advise if you can assist with Subway or Baker's Delight Lunch order pickups on a Tuesday or Friday Morning.

Both stores are located at the Vermont South shops and all that's required is to collect the orders from the stores and drop them off to the school anytime before lunch (1.30pm). 

Thank you to the families who have already agreed to assist.  If we have enough families volunteering then a roster can be devised and it will only be a commitment of couple of dates  per term.

Mobile Phones

Just a Reminder to students and parents of our rules and regulations regarding the use of mobile phones and other personal devices. In our Holy Saviour Acceptable Use of ICT Agreement, it states that students will, “give my teacher a written ‘BYOD consent form’ from my parents/guardians before bringing my own devices to school. Otherwise I will leave my equipment at home.” If you have an urgent message to get to your child, this is to be done via the office, even if your child is offsite at an excursion or interschool sport event. If you cannot get through on the phone, an email to office@hsvs.catholic.edu.auis always promptly responded to. This is important for the care and safety of all children at Holy Saviour.

If your child has a skin sensitivity to sunscreen then please send an appropriate sunscreen product.
