November

With the end of the school year approaching quickly, it is a time for students to persevere and keep working until the end.  With FastStart, our students continue working until the end of the year and it is after the end of the term that the break from structured classes and learning commences.  We encourage parents to work with us to ensure students continue with normal attendance and approach to school work until the last day of the year as we want to maximise the learning time and opportunities that we have.

As a school, we often discuss faith, wisdom, knowledge, as well as respect, responsibility, and resilience.  November marks the transition into Advent, a season to deepen our faith in the Lord, whom we await with expectant anticipation.  It is also a time when we continue to work and build our knowledge, applying the wisdom we have learnt for our studies.  It is a time for students to work on and continue being respectful to all, build resilience through hard work for the remainder of the time and grow in taking responsibility for their learning.

Holy Family of Nazareth -Be our inspiration and our guide.

Jesus of Nazareth – Help us to grow in faith, wisdom and knowledge.
