Dear Parents,

This week we celebrate all that we have achieved throughout Term 3, 2023.

Congratulations to all of our community for working so magnificently together to support our students. It has been such a pleasure to work with you throughout the term and share our learning and special celebrations as a community. The Father’s Day afternoon, Family Fun Fridays, Wakakirri, Parish Aths, Beach walks, Cafes and Masses to mention a few, have all been wonderful opportunities to connect and gather together ensuring all of our community feel a great sense of belonging.

Thank you to all of our parents for working in partnership with us throughout the term. The quality of the engagement in learning and the quality of the relationships between home and school have been a testament to you all. We can not thank you enough for all you have done.

Thank you to our amazing staff who have gone above and beyond, working tirelessly throughout the past term ensuring every student belongs, connects, and grows in their learning. I am so privileged to work with such a dedicated staff and thank each of them for their brilliant efforts.

We will conclude our amazing term of learning with our Learning Expo this week on Wednesday between 2:30 and 4:00pm. This term, students have been learning about the concept of Curiosity and have been engaging in various inquiries to deepen their skills and dispositions. We invite all of our community to come along and share in our learning. Please note our 3/4 community will be sharing their learning on Friday, Sep 15th, at Woolley's Beach.

Don't forget to read our Learning & Teaching page to learn how you can continue to support your child's learning over the holiday break.

Thank you to Parents

We thank our parents who are working behind the scenes to organise our parent social night next term and look forward to gathering together for a fun night.

We also thank those parents who have helped with our fundraising chocolate/lolly drive. There are still a few boxes of lollies available in the multipurpose room if you would like to sell some over the holidays.

All money raised this year will go to our playground upgrade.

A couple of reminders ~ Don't forget to complete our MACSIS survey. These were emailed out to all families on August 28th and we would appreciate your feedback. Some surveys have gone to SPAM so please check this or email leadership@sjcribpoint.catholic.edu.au if you have not received your login.

We have our Footy Colours Day on Friday. Students are invited to wear their footy colours and celebrate their favourite teams.

As we go into the term break, please take the time to make moments matter, relax, and enjoy health, wellbeing, and our families. We finish Term 3 with our end of term assembly at 12:30pm on Friday and students being dismissed at 1:00pm.

Term 4 commences on Monday 2nd October.

Take care and I look forward to continuing on our journey together in Term 4.

Yours in Partnership,
