Good afternoon families,

What a lovely day today has been and I hope you enjoyed the sunshine after a very cold week. Another busy week with Yr 3 and Yr 1 on excursions today. We had parents attend the Kids On Keys Concert and all parents commented on a wonderful performance. On Wednesday 23rd Kids on Key will hold student concerts for various classes.

Last weekend the Grade 2 students attended parish masses. Thank you to Father Andrew and the Year 2 teachers for their support. Thank you to the parents who were able to bring their child to a mass over the weekend.

Last Monday, St Louis's hosted the Big Green Conference and a special thanks to Mrs Wendy Merten and the Year 6 Sustainability Leaders did a great job at hosting 10 visiting schools. Thank you to Frank and his garden helpers for hosting our visitors in the garden.

This week we have Prep class Mass on Tuesday 22nd @ 9.15am and Yr 1ES & 1JC class mass Thursday 24th @ 9.15am. All parents are welcome to mass and the morning tea that follows.

Last call for Aladdin musical performances recordings. You can still relive all the magic of your child’s performance by purchasing a recording of all 4 nights on an encrypted USB for $40. The deadline to purchase will close on Sunday 20th Nov at 5pm.
