The MUM BUS RUN 2020
Last Friday we hopped on board the mum bus and travelled the streets of Noble Park and we were fortunate enough to meet so many of our families along the way and celebrate Mother's Day with a small gift. We were overwhelmed by the kindness and warmth and spirit of community that was shown to us along the way.
Last Week's Online learners of the week
It was fantastic to be able to get in my car last week and today and hand deliver some online learner of the week certificates to some special people even though some weren't home! Mr Gow was also on the road. Look out this Friday because it could be you!

Waste free lunches are still a priority for students attending onsite during COVID-19
St Anthony’s wishes to remind families that we are committed to being a nude food school. We are working with the council to ensure waste free lunches are just part of a normal day. We encourage you to please leave all plastic wrapped items at home or empty the contents of plastic wrapped items into a container.
Student User Agreements
We are in the process of following up unsigned student user agreements. Most of the forms were sent via mail this week. Please read, sign and send back via the envelope provided ASAP. Thank you to everyone who has already sent back the form via DOJO or email.
Every day counts - School Attendance during Covid-19
Please remember that the roll is marked daily and attendance for home is a requirement. Please remember it is important that you make contact with teachers to access learning during the week. We must see you accessing learning . Every effort has been made by the school to ensure that you can be in constant contact with the school and teachers.
Each day of school missed makes a difference,
with the effect on learning accumulating over time. From an early age, if children are taught that they need to 'show up' for school and make a
commitment, this positive mentality aids academic and career success and brings benefits in adulthood.
TO MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR POTENTIAL NO CHILD SHOULD MISS MORE THAN 2-3 DAYS OF SCHOOL PER TERM.
If your child is going to be absent from school, please call the school office on 95460044 by 9.00am. Alternatively, you can email the school to notify of your child’s absence at office@sanoblepark.catholic.edu.au, or log the absence via the link on the website.
If we do not receive notification of an absence by 9.30am we are required under regulations to message you at home or work to follow up the absence. Please notify the school of all absences. Please note that prolonged absences without notification will be followed up. Many days absent from school does impact on student learning and programs designed to support students.
