· act as role models within the school community by reflecting the values and ethos of the school

· work collaboratively with the Parish Priest, the Principal and the wider school community

· build and nurture a sense of community

BOOK CLUB ORDERS

Book Club orders were sent home with your child/ren last week.

If your child did not receive their order, please contact the School Office.

SCHOOL UNIFORM REMINDER

We understand that we are getting close to the end of the school year, however we would like to remind parents that students are required to wear their FULL summer uniform. This includes leather school shoes. If your child is not wearing the correct uniform in it's entirety, then a note must be sent to the school office.

ALLERGY AWARE

A friendly reminder that St Francis Xavier's School is an allergy aware school.

This means that we aim to create a safe environment for our students with allergies and request that our families are mindful of the foods being packed in their child's lunchbox.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
