PRAYER
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve:
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
Jesus, O merciful, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary
Amen
From the Principal
Dear Families,
Welcome back to what promises to be a busy term with many wonderful learning opportunities and school community events. Term 4 is important for every student and our teachers will strive to deliver high-quality learning for everyone. Our focus is on making sure that every student is supported in their wellbeing, learning and transition needs.
Classical Education
Our classical approach to teaching draws on historical and classical texts to provide students with opportunity to gain a richer, comprehensive understanding and view of the ideas and events that have shaped civilisation. Their engagement in learning enables them to develop and strenghten their critical thinking and analytical skills. On Sunday morning, following the 10.30 am Mass, Fr Dillon and I will be hosting morning tea in the hall to answer any questions that people may have about classical education at our school. All families are welcome to join us.
Twilight Sports
Later this month we will gather for our Twilight Sports. Mrs Sherriff is preparing the students for each of the events that they will participate in. As always, the sports night is an opportunity for us all to gather in community to support the students and to socialise with others.
School Improvements
Some minor works/renovations occurred during the school holidays. These included remodelling in the Donovan Centre, incorporating space at the end of the corridor in the 5/6 classroom, creating a break-out learning area. New carpet was also laid in the library. These works were funded by Supplementary Capital Funding we received from Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools.
School Hats
A reminder that as part of the school’s Sunsmart policy all students are required to wear the school hat during Term 4. Students will be required to remain undercover in the canteen area during breaks if they are not wearing the school hat.
Warm regards,
Michelle Worcester
Principal
Playgroup

Tuck Shop
Tuckshop is open every Friday, we are very fortunate to have our tuckshop run by parent volunteers for the students enjoyment. This would not be possible without our small team of committed volunteers showing up week after week.
