Principal Update 

Dear families,

It has been an exciting fortnight at St Kilian’s. Our students have been involved in a number of significant events, including NAPLAN testing for our Year 3 and Year 5 students, as well as the Year 6 Canberra Camp.

Each of these experiences provides wonderful opportunities for learning, growth and achievement. They also naturally bring a mixture of excitement, nervous energy and some disruption to our usual routines. These moments are important milestones for our students, and we are very proud of the way they approach these challenges.

We are already approaching the time of year when we begin our enrolment process for the following school year.

White House Demolition Project

Works on this site are progressing well and have provided great interest for both students and staff. 

Over the next couple of weeks, the following activities are planned:

· Continued internal stripping of the White House

· Ongoing separation of materials for recycling (steel, concrete, plasterboard, timber), including cleaning of bricks for reuse by both the parish and school

· Continued asbestos removal by licensed contractors

· Removal of the old playground and roofing

· Delivery of scaffold components to site

· Commencement of scaffold installation around the building

McAuley Building Project

The building has been cleared and handed over to the builders. We are now awaiting the building permit before works can officially commence.

Parents & Friends Association

The next meeting of the P&F will be held on Tuesday 24 March at 6:00pm in the school library. All families are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The P&F have many fundraising and social events planned for this year and are always looking for support and for families to get involved.

Year 6 Camp

Congratulations to our Year 6 students, who represented St Kilian’s wonderfully during their recent Canberra camp. It was heartening to hear how respectful they were throughout the experience.

A special thank you to our dedicated staff - Steve Hammer, Rachael McLean, Erin Bourke and Miggy Podosky - for their planning, organisation and commitment to keeping students safe.

Student Birthdays 

Students celebrating a birthday may wear casual clothes to school in recognition of their special day. If a birthday falls on a weekend or during holidays, students are welcome to choose a suitable school day afterward to wear casual clothing.
