Dear Parents and Friends,
Our Prep and Year Six Buddy Picnic was a great success! Thank you to those who were able to attend. It was terrific seeing the interaction and care between the 'buddies' and I appreciate the effort parents made to meet each other. Special thanks to the staff for staying back to attend this event.
School photos went very smoothly last Thursday. We expect photos to be delivered in the last week of term. Special thanks to our parent helpers on the day, Angie Hannan and Chris Insana who did a wonderful job organsing the students.
This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, which ushers in that important time in the Church’s calendar when we are called to reflect on our lives and how we can be more like Christ. Lent is a time for a stronger focus on prayer, a commitment to fasting, and a time for giving to others. All students will be attending 9:15 a.m. Mass - parents and friends are very welcome.
1/2VC will lead our assembly this Friday March 3rd. Family and friends are very welcome. The P&F have organised a Market Stall after assembly on Friday.
2018 Prep Enrolments are open for new families on Tuesday March 14, 2017. School Tours are available at 9:30 on Tuesday March 14 and Wednesday March 15. Existing families are reminded to collect an enrolment form from the office.
This year the process has changed and is no longer facilitated by our school. Parents are now required to contact the Government Secondary School you intend to enroll you child in for all enquiries and enrolment applications. Application usually open in April.
Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents, are eligible to apply for this Government funding. $125 per year is paid for eligible primary school students, with $225 per year paid for eligible secondary school students. Payments are made directly to the school and to go towards the cost of camps, sports and excursions. Applications close soon. Please contact the office if you have any queries. Click below for the application form.
Thank you to those parents who have already paid their school fees in full. If you are paying instalments over three terms, please note that the curriculum levy and term one fees are now due.
I hope you have a great week.
Kevin Gleeson.
