Family Educator  

Welcome back to Term 3! I am so excited to see all our families again after the break. The children have returned with big smiles and are already settled and ready to learn. We have many exciting events planned for the weeks ahead, including:

• Thursday Morning Coffee Connect (Weekly community catch-up)
• Friday Playgroup & School Readiness Program (For pre-schoolers)
• Grandparents' Day
• St Mary of the Cross (Mother Mary MacKillop) Feast Day
• Family Mass
• Sacrament of First Holy Communion 

Thursday Morning: Coffee Connect

To kick off the term, I warmly invite all parents, grandparents and carers to join us for our Thursday Morning Coffee Connect. This is a wonderful, relaxed opportunity to grab a warm drink, catch up with old friends and meet new families in our community.

• When: This Thursday morning right after drop-off at 8:50 am.
• Where: Meet on the school playground to wander down to our local coffee shop together.

Friday: Playgroup & School Readiness Program - FREE

Parents, grandparents and carers with pre-school toddlers aged 3–5 years old, come and join our Friday morning program. Enjoy a cuppa and a chat with other parents and grandparents, and join in as your little one explores and builds friendships, social skills and prepares for school, in a safe and inclusive environment.

• When: Friday mornings (during school term) from 9:00 am to 10:10 am.
• Where: Meet directly on the school playground.
• What to bring: Please bring a drink and nut-free snacks for your little ones.
• Provided: Complimentary tea and coffee will be available for the adults.
