Principal's News 

Good afternoon families,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

We are now racing towards the end of this year and still we have so much to look forward too.

The Christmas festival is coming along really well with all the class items looking amazing.

The program for the class items will be sent out on Monday. I am hoping that all families will try to participate fully in the event from 3.30pm - 7.30pm.

Congratulations to our Year 6 cricket team who will now playing in the State finals on Friday 29 November. Well done to our year 6 Hot Shot Tennis team, they won 2 of their 3 games.

School Advisory Council (SAC) and Parents and Friends Association (PFA)

Both of the school's parent bodies are having a combined meeting on Tuesday night. Five representatives from the PFA have been invited to attend. Both parent bodies will talk about what they have achieved this year and what are their goals for 2025 in supporting the leadership team and school as a whole. I am extremely thankful for both parent bodies for their hard work and support.

St Louis Christmas Festival - Friday 6 December - 3.30pm - 7.30pm 

Traditionally this would be the year of the school production, however due to not having a musical director on staff and not having the budget that is required to put on a whole school production at Frankston Art Centre, we decided to do something different. We looked at the feedback we had from the parent community after the last production and the believe we should try a new approach. On Friday 6 December we will be celebrating all our students at our Christmas Festival. All classes will be participating in class performances and all students are expected to attend. A program will run out of the hall and a time will be given for each class and parents can come and go as they would like. When your child/ren have performed you are able to wander around the festival and/or go home. The Christmas Festival will have food vans, sausage sizzle, local craft Christmas stalls, 24 class performances, a Year 3/4 dance troupe, a Year 5/6 dance troupe and two flash mob dance groups, staff band, staff Christmas item and busker items in the garden from students who have an item they would like to perform. Families can bring a picnic and sit on the oval and watch the festival as another option. Classroom teachers may be asking for costumes (eg- reindeer ears, white teeshirt, black shorts etc) to be supplied and we will let you know asap.

kind regards

Carmel Stutterd
