Deputy Principal's News
Dear Parents,
The Swimming program has commenced and by all accounts the students have enjoyed their sessions. A reminder that the swimming program ends on Wednesday 27th November and we come together to celebrate the students' skills at the swimming Carnival on Thursday 28th November.
On Friday 29th November we have a school closure day at St James. They staff will be planning for next year. These are very exciting times as we explore the possibilities for student learning at St James in 2020.
Heavenly Father we bring before You the Staff at St James and pray that You guide them as they plan for the 2020 school year. Bless them as they continue to educate a new generation of children and young people.
Amen
