Dear Parents and Families,

This term has gotten off to a flying start! We have just had our fantastic disco and 1/2 day camp, and our 3/4 and 5/6 students are getting excited about their upcoming school camps! Check out the Learning and Teaching and Community pages for some great photos.

As you may know, Ms McDermott has been away for a short time. Nevertheless, our super team has pulled together to keep everything going and I thank them for their hard work and dedication. We keep Ms McDermott in our prayers and look forward to her returning soon.

LOTS of things are coming up in the next few weeks. Please see information below and also the Community News page.

Family-school communication

From this term class teachers send out their Class News in each even week of the term via Skoolbag. Keep watching for more information about what your child is learning, special class activities and celebrations of student learning.

School tours

We always welcome new families to take a look at our beautiful school and experience our Fatima difference! It's not too late for new students and families to come and have a look at Our Lady of Fatima for 2023 enrolments. Please call our office on 5950 0400 to make a tour time.

World Teacher's Day

Friday October 28th is World Teacher's Day. This year's theme is 'Hats Off to Teachers'. Please take a snap of you in a hat and email to gcarr@fatimarosebud.catholic.edu.au. We will make a video of your pics to share on the day. Thanks.

Best wishes everyone. Enjoy the sunshine!
