School Advisory Committee: So what is it and what does it do?

The School Advisory Committee (SAC) is a team of representatives from the school community whose role is to provide advice on educational matters relating to the school. The SAC informs in making key decisions in the life of the school, ultimately with the goal of improving student and school outcomes and experiences. It also provides a necessary link between the Parish Priest- through both himself and his parent representative, Principal, teachers and the school community.

The SAC works on projects or helps resolve issues within our community. Some of the recent works have included:

providing valuable advice on topical community issues that affect our school
our physical school environment such as facilities improvement and maintenance
community building and promotional activities

If you are interested in finding more out about the SAC or applying to be a member, a SAC Prospective Member Brochure can be collected from the school office.

Applications close on Wednesday 28th February. Is this the way you can contribute to our school community?

School Lunches Online

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to 2024

Hello to all the new parents and carers and also thank you for everyone who ordered and supported us last year.

We are excited to be able to provide school lunches for you again this year.

We are a small local café located on 25 Hartnett Drive.

Please feel free to pop in to say hello, grab a coffee and support our local business.

Our first lunch order for the year will be Thursday 1 Feb. During the school term, you will be able to order student lunches from us every Tuesday and Thursday.

Please remember to place orders by 8pm the evening before (Monday by 8pm and Wednesday by 8pm). We look forward to providing student lunches and perhaps giving you all a well deserved break from the kitchen!

Warm Regards,

Tina
