Principal's Message

Dear Parents, 

As we move past the halfway point of the term, I would like to share how proud I am of our students and their ongoing achievements. Their hard work in the classroom is clearly visible, with many showing strong growth and improved learning outcomes across Key Learning Areas. Their commitment to doing their best each day is truly inspiring.

Beyond the classroom, our students have also shone in a number of co-curricular opportunities. From outstanding performances at the Sydney Catholic Schools Eisteddfod in the Creative Arts, to progressing all the way to the grand final in public speaking, they continue to demonstrate confidence, talent, and determination.

Our students have represented St Aidan’s with pride at excursions, gala days, and community events, consistently displaying excellent behaviour, teamwork and sportsmanship. Their conduct reflects the values we hold dear as a school community, and it is wonderful to see these values lived out so genuinely.

We are incredibly proud of their efforts so far this term and look forward to celebrating even more successes in the weeks ahead.

FAMILY PARISH MASS

It was so lovely to see so many families come together for our Family Parish Mass. Our students were reverent throughout the celebration, sang the recessional hymn with confidence and loved gathering afterwards to share the special Pentecost cake.

As a community, we were also blessed to witness a particularly meaningful moment as one of our school parents was formally welcomed into the Catholic faith during the Mass. It was a powerful reminder of the strength of our parish family and the joy of celebrating faith together.

We are grateful to everyone who attended and helped make the morning such a warm and faith filled occasion.

POLICE LIASON VISIT - ONLINE SAFETY TALK

Last week our school welcomed Constable Gen and Constable Wyatt, our local Police Liaison Officers, who spoke with students in Years 3–6 about the importance of staying safe online.

They discussed practical ways to protect ourselves when using the internet, including keeping personal information private, making safe choices and recognising situations that don’t feel right. A key message was the importance of always speaking to a trusted adult if something online makes you feel unsure, uncomfortable or worried.

Students also learned about their digital footprint which refers to the trail of information we leave behind whenever we go online and why it’s important to think carefully about what we share.

It was an engaging and valuable session that reinforced how we can all be responsible and safe digital citizens.

I wish you all a restful weekend.

"Trust in the Lord for true peace and strength." 

Kind regards,

Rachel Baker
