Mother's Day Breakfast

Thank you to all our Mum’s and their families and friends who came to our Mother’s Day Breakfast last Friday. It was great to have so many there and be able to day ‘thanks’ for all that you do.

NAPLAN

The first of the NAPLAN tests, writing,  took place today. They will continue Thursday 17, Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 May. Students will sit tests for both Literacy and Numeracy over the 4 days. Please refrain from making appointments during school time while these tests are on. It is important that your child is available on the day unless they are unwell. In the case of illness students will sit the test the following day at the most convenient time.

Pizza Fundraiser

In the lead up to Catholic School’s Week, the Primary SRC are running a ‘Pizza Day’ to be held on Friday 25 May. All profits raised will go to the ‘Living Water’ campaign in Myanmar. The project builds water tanks, erects gutters and roofs for villages to collect rain water. We are raising money for a tank from our school. Cost for children is $2 per slice. Order forms and money need to be returned to your classroom teacher by Monday 21 May.
