Principal's Message
TERM 1 SEMESTER 1
Bonjour à tous.
This week we say farewell to Miss Maddie Elliott. Maddie has been with us as a Learning Support Officer for 3 years. Maddie is moving on to a new career path. We thank her for her time spent here assisting students and teachers and wish her all the very best in her new venture.
There were a couple of amendments to the Sacramental schedule that was advertised in last week's newsletter. Please check for those changes on the Sacramental Program page of this newsletter.
A Parent and Child Workshop will be held for all students wanting to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesday, February 25 at 5:30 pm at School in Room C
Please email office@stlleongatha.catholic.edu.au if you are wanting your child to make the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
You are invited to join us for a whole school mass for Ash Wednesday on 18th February at 11.30am in the church.
SIMON EVERYWHERE: Simon Everywhere still remains OFFLINE. PLEASE DELETE THIS APP UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Parent and Friends News:
Thank you to everyone who attended the first meeting of the year. We hope that everyone will try and make time to help out from time to time to help support their efforts. We are lucky to have a dedicated Parents and Friends team who are working behind the scenes organising the first of our major fundraisers, the Easter Raffle. Raffle tickets will go home shortly. Each year we ask families to donate an Easter item to go in our hamper it you can.
HEALTHCARE CARDS: If you hold a current HealthCare card and have not yet applied for the Camps, Sports and Excursion Funding, please make contact with the office. (The HealthCare Card must be in the parents name). You should be eligible for a receive $400 per child to come off your sports, camps, and excursion levy on your account and entitles you to a significant subsidy off your school fees account after the $400 has been applied. Accounts would be reduced to $520 per family.
Those who have previously applied for the CSEF funding will not need to reapply. We will be able to roll your applications over to this year.
