Principal's Message
St Fidelis' Catholic Primary School
Dear Parents and Carers,
STEM News: A Massive Thank You to the Infantino Family!
St Fidelis Catholic Primary School would like to extend a massive thank you to Patrick and Linda Infantino, parents of Arrow from Year 1AM, for their generous donation of another brand-new 3D printer to our school!
This is now the third 3D printer generously donated by the Infantino family, and we cannot express our gratitude enough for their ongoing generosity and support.
Having access to 3D printing technology provides our students with exciting opportunities to bring their ideas to life, develop their design and problem-solving skills, and explore the world of STEM through hands-on learning. From designing and creating their own 3D models to developing innovative prototypes, this technology helps turn imagination into reality!
We are incredibly fortunate to have families like the Infantino family in our St Fidelis community who go above and beyond to support and enrich our students' learning, creativity and innovation across STEM and all areas of the curriculum.
From all of us at St Fidelis, thank you, Patrick and Linda, for your incredible generosity and continued support. Your contribution is making a real difference to our students' learning experiences and helping inspire the next generation of designers, creators and innovators!
2027 Important Information
For ease of access, all important information regarding 2027 will be posted to this newsletter on the '2027 Information' page for reference purposes. A copy of the communication circulated this week regarding Tiered Family Fees 2027 can be found on this page.
Social Media Reminders
Social media platforms, such as TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook, have an age restriction of 13+.
Research shows that early use of these apps can increase risks such as cyberbullying, anxiety, and disrupted sleep.
As of 10 December 2025, these age limits were increased to 16+ to better protect young people online.
We encourage families to support this change to help keep our students safe and promote healthy, balanced technology use.
