Principal's Report
Dear St A’s Community,
As we approach the joyful celebration of Christmas, I want to extend my warmest wishes to all our students, families, staff and friends. This is a time of great hope, peace and love, as we come together to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
In the midst of the busy season, I encourage each of you to pause and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas – the gift of God's love made present to us in the birth of Jesus. This holy season invites us to open our hearts to Christ, embrace the spirit of compassion and share His love with all those around us.
I am deeply grateful for the vibrant and supportive St Augustine's community. Your commitment to nurturing a Catholic environment where faith, learning and service thrive is a gift in itself. May this Christmas bring you all joy, peace and blessings, and may the New Year be filled with hope and promise.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our parents and carers for your unwavering support and dedication throughout 2024.
Your tireless efforts in nurturing and encouraging your children, coupled with your commitment to collaborating with our staff and broader school community, have been amazing. It is through this strong partnership that we have continued to provide a nurturing, vibrant, and faith-filled learning environment for all our students.
