Helpful Information for Families – Staying Connected at St Thomas

Contacting Us

If you need to get in touch with the Foundation (Prep) team, you can email us at:

galilee@cranbourneeast.catholic.edu.au

We’re here to support your child and answer any questions you may have. Once your child has a confirmed class and teacher you will also recieve their contact details.

Onsite Access Our classrooms are busy learning spaces. You're warmly welcome to walk your child to the classroom area each morning, but we ask that you help us keep the focus on learning by saying goodbye before the door. Staff will always be nearby to support a smooth start to the day.

Incursions & Excursions Throughout the year, Foundation students will take part in incursions (special guests or experiences at school) and excursions (local outings linked to learning). These fun and meaningful activities help bring the curriculum to life.

You’ll receive details and permission forms ahead of each one.

Weekly Newsletter – Stay Informed!

Each week, you’ll receive a school-wide newsletter from St Thomas the Apostle.

This newsletter includes everything you need to know in one place:

A Galilee section with updates about Foundation (Prep) learning and news
Whole-school events and reminders
Messages from our Executive Leadership Team
Updates from specialist teachers, wellbeing, and community news

The newsletter is the best way to stay connected to what’s happening in your child’s classroom and across the whole school.

Welcome to St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Primary
