Dear Families,

On the eve of the beginning of Winter, we notice COVID cases are certainly back within the local and wider community. We also notice some cases of the flu and other illnesses. Please remember if your child/ren are feeling unwell or sick please keep them at home. We have RAT tests available to collect at the office for testing should you require.

Students, staff and parents are able to wear a mask if they wish.

Remind your children to sanitise and wash their hands. The purifiers within the classroom and learning areas are on.

Whilst COVID does effect staffing we will always be doing out best to ensure as much consistency for students.

I take this opportunity to once again thank you for your ongoing support of our school.

Classes Masses

Thank you to 5-6 M who who prepared last Friday's Mass.

This week we invite all families to celebrate with our hosts from 3-4TG. After the Mass 3-4TG parents are invited to a Morning Tea in the staffroom. Please bring a plate but ensure all ingredients are clearly labelled. No Nuts (including nut oil) or fresh cream.

With the celebration of Pentecost last weekend, may it serve as a reminder to all of us to live out our faith. As Spirit filled people may we be welcoming and inclusive of all.

Congratulations!

Grade 1/2 L won our line competition this week; they displayed the ability to listen and move only when their teacher asked and moved from the assembly line to their classroom quietly.

As a reward they have an extra class game together.

National Reconciliation Week

National Reconciliation Week began last Friday and continues this week. National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

Some of our students created beautiful 'Acknowledgement of Country' Posters with Mrs Perkins.

We recite the 'Acknowledgement of Country' at each assembly and at important events.

There will be more information around Reconciliation Week activities in next week's edition of the newsletter.

Seussical the Musical

Today our grade 4 students were lucky to be invited to watch the dress rehearsal of Seussical the Musical performed by the students of Nazareth College. It was such a fantastic experience and really worth going to see.

Foundation 2024

Thank you to our families for attending the Enrolment Interviews for Foundation 2024.

Families should have received their letter of offer yesterday.

Again I take this opportunity to thank you for advocating for our school. 'Word of Mouth' is a vital part of promoting our school. Our tours were most successful and to this end I thank and congratulate our School and Publicity Captains who assisted greatly on these tours and spoke very proudly of their school.

We will have three classes of Foundation students for 2024.
