Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

St. Patrick's Festival!

Keep the 15th March free in your calendars as we celebrate all things St. Patrick!  Our amazing P & F are finalising the plans for our St Patrick's Day Festival.  We have many fun rides (Giant Super Slide, Aerial Bungee, Adrenaline Rush, Jurassic Adventure & the Music Trip) craft activities, face painting, animal petting zoo, disco with DJ Daidone, food stalls and more!  This is certainly an afternoon/evening not to be missed!  As there will be children present, it is a strictly no alcohol event for everyone.

Check out our P & F page for more information.

Casual Clothes Day

Next Wednesday 28th February is a casual clothes day for all students.  All students who come in casual clothes are expected to bring in a $2 coin to be collected in the classrooms.  These proceeds will go directly to our St. Patrick's P&F Festival preparations.

Parent/Teacher Exchange Meetings

My thanks to all staff and parents who participated in the Parent/Teacher Exchange meetings that occurred on Monday and Wednesday this week.  There was a wonderful atmosphere in the Hall as parents and class Teachers had genuine discussions regarding how best to assist our children to maximise their learning this year.

New School Website

We are currently in the production phase with our school website provider in updating our online presence.  We have had some drone photos taken of the school site, which coincidently, was on the day we had Kaboom kids sports here and I'm sure you would all agree the photos look fantastic!  Our new website should be up and running by the end of Term 1.  We have also taken some action shots of the children at school during the week which we would like to use on the updated website.  The school will be contacting parents directly in the coming weeks for permission to use the photos we have taken for our website.

Sibling - Prep 2025 Enrolments and Open Days

Can I please remind all Families who will have a Prep Student in 2025 to submit their enrolment paperwork ASAP. Sibling enrolment interviews will occur at the end of Term 1.

Please check our enrolment timeline below.

Our 'Open Days' are scheduled for Tuesday 27th February, Tuesday 12th March and Tuesday 26th March or by appointment.  As per our enrolment policy, current families will have priority enrolment, followed by baptised catholics in our boundries and then baptised catholics outside our boundries, if we have availablity, we can then accept other enrolments.  We are currently expecting to have 3 Prep classes for 2025 of around 23-24 students per class.
