Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to school for the beginning of Term 3. I hope you had a chance to relax and recharge over the holidays in readiness for this term. 

This term will see many opportunities for us to come together as a school community. Please keep an eye out on the For Your Diary pageas upcoming dates and events will be posted there. 

Firstly, thank you to all current and past students and families, and members of the wider community who joined us on the last day of term for our MND Awareness day. Thank you to Mrs Katie Goddard and Ms Robyn Traynor for their organisation of the day. The sense of community and the support shown was greatly appreciated. 

Next Wednesday 26 July, we invite all grandparents to our school to celebrate Grandparents Day and the wonderful contribution they make to our lives. We will begin with a liturgy at 10:30am and then all grandparents are invited to stay for morning tea. 

This term, the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist will take place. As First Reconciliation was postponed last year, Catholic students in Years 2 and 3 will participate in this sacrament. First Reconciliation will take place on Tuesday 15 August at 12md followed by the Assumption Mass (Holy Day of Obligation). First Eucharist (for Year 3 Catholic students will take place on Saturday 19 August at 4pm at Sacred Heart Parish church. Further mass and liturgy dates are posted on the RE News page.

Parent Teacher interviews will be held in Weeks 3 and 4 of this term. A conference booking schedule will be sent through Compass for you to book your time. 

Personalised Plan meetings for Semester 2 will also take place at this time. If you are required to attend a Personalised Plan meeting for your child, please book a double timeslot. 

Transition for Kindergarten 2024 continues and we are very happy to welcome our transition students back in Term 3. If you know of anyone wishing to enrol their child for 2024 and participate in the transition program this year, please let me know. Program details and enrolment forms are available by contacting Ms Traynor in the Office.

If you know of anyone who is intending to enrol at Sacred Heart either in Kindergarten or any other year group for 2023/2024, please encourage them to contact me at school. 

Happy birthday to Mrs Cheryl Fenton who celebrates her special day on Thursday 20th July.  We hope you enjoy your birthday day.

Take care

Kath Baird
