GOAL SETTING MEETINGS 

We have our mid-year Goal Setting meetings on the 21st and 22nd of July (week 2). This is a great opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher, plan for future goals, and celebrate your child’s successes. Please ensure you book a meeting via PAM.  

SWIMMING 

This term the students will participate in swimming lessons on Thursdays during weeks 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10. You will need to log onto PAM to complete your child's permission and update their medical details ASAP. Students will not be able to attend of permission has not been given via PAM.  

AWARDS 

Each week a Foundation student from each class will be chosen to receive an award. This term the awards are based around our founder Catherine McAuley. Students receiving these awards show the attributes of Catherine McAuley such as helping others in need, going out of their way to do something for someone else, friendship, acts of kindness, resilience, and looking out for others.

REMINDER FOR FAMILIES

As the weather continues to be cold, we ask all families to ensure that students come to school with enough warm clothing each day, including jumpers, jackets, and other suitable winter items. To help us return lost property quickly, please make sure that all clothing is clearly labelled with your child's name.

We also recommend that students have a spare set of clothes in their school bag. Slips, trips, muddy play areas, and other unexpected accidents can happen in the yard, and having a change of clothes helps students remain comfortable and ready to continue their learning day.

Thank you for your support in helping keep our students warm, comfortable, and prepared for all weather conditions.
