The Principal's Desk

Dear parents, families and friends,

Welcome back to Term 4! Today is the last day of Remote Learning.

Myself, along with tall the staff of St. Augustine's, cannot wait to see all the students return. It has been a long time. With minimal students and staff onsite over the last term, the school has been a very quiet place.

However, there has been some busy work happening. New artificial turf has been installed on the senior yard, creating a greener and cleaner space that will encourage more passive activities in this space. Many of the wooden seats have been sanded and restained. The beautification of our school continues slowly, thanks to the efforts of Frank Chindamo, our part time gardener and maintenance man.

Towards  the end of Term 3 we had a number of workshops for students, parents and staff as part of the consultation process for the new School Master Plan. Attached below is a copy of the questions asked during these sessions. If you weren't part of the focus groups and would like to have input, please download the document attached below and return via email to me.

Reminders

• Return all Chromebooks and charge cables to school on Monday 12th October. We need these back so that we can use them in the classrooms to support learning. On Friday the 16th October Miss Danni and our Digital Technologies Technician from Centorrino will be reconnecting all the charge cables to the storage trolleys.
• Summer Uniform as of Tuesday 13th October. Students are expected to be in the correct full school uniform. Runners/sneakers are only so be worn on Phys. Ed days and Fridays.
• Each student needs to bring their own drink bottle.
• Each student needs to bring their own pencil case.
• Drop off and pick up times - please don't linger or congregate. Move off as quickly as possible.
• We are still looking for students to join our Virtual School Choir for Term 4.
• Friday October 23rd - Public Holiday for Grand Final Eve

Looking forward to seeing everyone next Monday 12th October.

Remember to wear bright and colourful casual clothes!!

Kind regards,

Matthew Stead
