Principal Reflections

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Monday we commenced our celebrations for Catholic Schools Week. The theme - 'Pray with Hope' allows us to think about our relationship with Christ and pray for his guidance as we strive towards ensuring that our learning community provides a hope-filled future for all of our students.

Catholic Schools Week is a time to celebrate and reflect on the value and contributions of Catholic education. It is an opportunity for us to reflect upon our positive impact as educators on the lives of the young people in our care. 

For over 200 years, many children and young people have benefitted from the dedication and commitment of our faith-filled staff who work in Catholic schools. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Parish Community lead by Fr Roel Llave and all of our staff, students and community members for their ongoing support of our school. Together we can make a difference!

This week our celebrations have included:-

• Monday - St Edward's school hosting the Catholic Schools Week staff development day for the three Catholic Primary Schools in Tamworth.
• Tuesday - Our Year 6 Captains and Leadership Team members attending the Deanery Mass at Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church.
• Wednesday - The school hosting an Alumni and Parent Learning Walk at both campuses.
• Thursday - Students and staff were invited to wear yellow to school for Children's Ground Day during Reconciliation Week.
• Tomorrow, Friday - St Edward's is supporting the Gary McSweeney Memorial Cup with a Mufti day - wear your favourite footy jersey or colours to school.

It was wonderful to see our new sports shirts being worn by some students this week. They look fantastic! During Term 2 students will continue to wear sports uniform on Wednesday and Friday. At the start of Term 3 students will wear sports uniform on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

Until next week,

Keep smiling,

Alison Hatton
