From the Principal 

Week 3 Term 2 2024

Dear Parents and Carers

 

Congratulations

Congratulations to Laura Jeffreys on the arrival of  "Francesca".  Mum and daughter are doing great.

We look forward to meeting Francesca soon!

 

Also congratulations to the Students who celebrated their First Eucharist last Saturday evening. It was a special time for all involved. This concludes  our First Eucharistic celebrations for the year. Thank you to Larissa, Catrina, Hannah and Monica who prepared all the students over the past two weekends. Thank you to the parents for your conintued support.

 

Being at school by 8.45am

I have written about the importance of being on time in numerous newsletters.  There is still a large number of children arriving at school between 8.45am and 9.00am.

 

Students who arrive at school on time have the luxury of settling in, preparing their class materials and focusing their minds on the lessons to come. If a child is late they do not get this advantage. We want all children to have this advantage!!!!
