COMMUNITY MASS - SATURDAY 27TH MAY
The parish schools are now reintroducing the celebration school community masses after the interruptions caused by COVID 19. After three years and one term we will gather as a school community at St Andrew’s Church on Saturday, 27th May @ 6pm.
We are extending an invitation to all Catholic families to join us at the church for this mass which is being offered for our First Communicants who receive the Sacrament in June.
First Communicants will be presented with the Australian Children’s Mass Book at this mass.

CHILD SAFETY - STUDENT TOILETS
A reminder that parents and toddlers are asked NOT to use the student toilets. This is for the safety of all students and for your own wellbeing. Parents and toddlers are welcome to use the communal toilets in the Community Space located adjacent to the front office.
CHILD SAFETY - LINEWIZE
The school is currently in a test phase of our LineWize Cyber Safety Monitoring. We are collecting data now and are using the scenarios that occur to categorise example alerts in one of the following categories of responses.
- No action needed - false alert
- Alert achieved and monitored
- Meeting with student
- Meeting with student and written communication to parents
- Meeting with students and meeting with parents in person.
We will have teacher training in the use of classwize which allows for the real time monitoring of student screens as well as access to tools which assist the teacher to safely distribute online content to their class without pop ups, ads and comments from global users.
We will then release access to Qustudo to parents in Term 3. This will provide parents with access to a monitoring application for 2 devices within the home. It will also support parents on understanding cyber issues through the use of a parent online safety hub.
