Message from the Principal

 

Dear Families,

 

It is so easy in a busy world to get caught up in the micro business, worrying about little things or only focusing on the negative.  I remind myself daily of how lucky I am to have a job I love,  great people to work with, surrounded by the energy of youth, and a supportive and committed community to education and our school.  

As we enter the season of Lent and commence our CARITAS fundraising, counting our blessings and being grateful for the big and the little moments in our lives, celebrate the wins, and learn from the moments we might prefer to forget. 

School Advisory Council

The School Advisory Council met for the first time last week, electing Michael Carney as the Board Chair for 2024.  Thank you to Michael Carney,  Amanda Abley, Phalen Pezzelato, Marcene Haythorpe, Julia Feiss, and Jess Rix for their willingness to be part of our Advisory Council, for their time, and for the wisdom you bring to the forum. 

Thank you 

Thank you to those who attended our Welcome Evening and our Opening School Mass, the School Advisory Council, Swimming carnivals, and the community of readers in classrooms.  Those who helped with Pancakes, The Friendly Brew, and our Canteen helpers. Thank you to those who volunteered their time at the Marong Cup on Saturday. You are all very much appreciated and make our school a better place. 

 

Thank you to Willow (Year 4) and her Mum, Melinda, for the beautiful artwork that they painted and gifted to our school.  Willow is new to our school this year. It will hang with pride in our Admin Building.

 

 

Take care and enjoy your week.
