THANK YOU
A big thank you to all the staff for all your efforts this term. It has been a busy term with Confirmation, Father’s Day, Book Week, Junior Prayer in Pyjamas, Movie Night, Parent/Teacher interviews and Footy Fun Day. We look forward to next term with lots of exciting events including Productions, the Blessing and opening of the Multipurpose Hall and the Twilight Market.
It is also an exciting Term 4 as we look forward to welcoming 2024 Foundation Students to SFS and celebrate the last term for our Year 6 Students.
Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the beautiful weather.

FOOTY FUN DAY
Friday September 15th
What a great day we had today for Footy Fun Day! It was fantastic to see all the students and teachers in their footy sports tops or colours.
SENIORS
Senior students were involved in House Footy Matches in the morning. It was a great atmosphere!!! We would like to congratulate Grade 5/6 Mackillop who won their competition and also Grade 3/4 Teresa for winning their competition! Both levels will be presented with their trophy that will have their House engraved on it for 2023. We look forward to another exciting competition next year.
JUNIORS
The Juniors also had a great time competing in their footy rotational activities which focused on developing their AFL skills. We would like to thank the Grade 6 students who volunteered to assist in running the Junior activities. They demonstrated great leadership skills and helped the Juniors to have a great time! These students have also received points for their House for the Community Spirit they have demonstrated by assisting the Juniors today.
STAFF VS GRADE 6 FOOTY MATCH
Following the Junior rotations, the whole school went out to the football oval to cheer and support the Grade 6s and staff in their footy match. What a great atmosphere there was!!!
We would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the staff in their win!! Well done to both sides for their sportsmanship and humour during the match.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the students who participated with enthusiasm and excitement and all the staff for their support and enthusiasm. Days like this wouldn’t happen without the support of our great staff. And our fantastic P&F who provided our hotdog fun lunch to add to the celebrations of the day!
We wish everybody a safe and restful holiday and look forward to next term with new sporting opportunities for the students.
