Principal's News

Dear Families

Yesterday, we celebrated 100 days of school for our Preps! What a wonderful milestone and theme of '100 days brighter' honouring all the learning, fun and friendships that has occurred during this time - and there's so much more to come! A BIG thank you to Mrs Fisher, Mrs Sutherland and Mrs McColl for all the love and care they put into this special day for this amazing group of students!

KEY INFORMATION:

When your child/ren are absent from school please inform the school either via

Furthermore the following students received one or more academic excellence and endeavour awards for Semester One, at Padua: Alannah Gilbert (5), Mia O’Riordan (5), Cooper Walshe (3), Khai Jordan (1), Oscar Cannan (1) and Xavier Koole (1).

1/2W Classroom Teacher

At the beginning of Term 4, we will welcome back Mrs Jacinta McRae who will become the classroom teacher for 1/2W, as Mrs Beth Willcourt starts her parental leave. Jacinta is a well respected and familiar face to the Fatima community, who has been on leave for 2023. I know you will share the same delight in warmly welcoming her back.

Medical Management Updates

As part of being under governance of Melbourne Archdiocese of Catholic Schools we are required to follow the expected guidelines of the Medical Management Policy. We are currently contacting parent/carers where updates are needed and your timely response and action is much appreciated. 

Morning Routine

Thank you for continuing to work with the adjusted morrning routine. A reminder that the music starts to play at 8.43am for students to enter their learning space, by 8.45am we expect all students in class so that they are ready for the day of learning ahead at 8.55am.

Welcome back!

This week we have welcomed back Mrs Gill Carr who has been on leave since the conclusion of Term 2. It is great to see her back on deck! I do wish to take this time to acknowledge and thank Mrs Louise Davidge who has been key in helping with the operations of the school in Gill's absence. 

Go well,

Sarah McDermott
