Attendance:
Check out our current attendance rates across the year levels at school. We currently have 192 students achieving 100% attendance, an outstanding effort! Congratulations to our Foundation and Year One cohorts, who are leading the way with 40 students in each year level maintaining 100% attendance.
This year, our whole-school goal is for every student to maintain an attendance rate of 95% or higher. We thank our families for their continued support in prioritising attendance and ensuring students arrive on time and ready to learn. While rest and recovery are important when children are unwell, regular attendance on all school days makes a significant difference across the year.
If your family requires support around attendance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or contact the school office. We are here to help and work in partnership with you.
Routine Focus: Classroom Entry & Exit
Our routine focus for this week is Classroom Entry & Exit. Students will be explicitly taught and reminded of expected behaviours, and the steps of this routine.
St Therese's Meal Bank:
We are hoping to fill our school freezers with home-cooked meals to support families in our school community. If you have some extra time, we would be so grateful for any meal donations. These meals make a real difference to families who may need a little extra support.
All donations are greatly appreciated. If you’re unable to cook a meal, financial donations can also be made via My School Connect.
Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships:
The Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) program supports the development of students’ social, emotional and positive relationship skills. It aligns with and supports the Health and Physical Education curriculum.
All classes participate in weekly RRRR sessions, with all year levels currently focusing on Topic 1: Emotional Literacy during the first six weeks of school.
