From the Deputy Principal

 

We have many events occurring this term irrespective of the uncertainty of lockdowns. We soldier on and reschedule events wherever possible. With this in mind, I am happy to say that our School Athletics Carnival is now scheduled for Monday 15th March 2021 at Casey Fields. The students look forward to this day and we were fortunate to book another date for this term. Once again, we hope to see many parents and family members there as spectators. Like at school, you will be required to sign in at the venue using a QR Code or register.

Just a reminder that I will be running another Volunteer Induction Session this Thursday 25th February 2021 at 9:15am so please come along especially if you intend to assist at the Athletics Carnival.

We had good attendance at our previous Volunteer Induction Sessions. Through your commitment, time and effort, this will allow us to recommence our work and partnership with parents and families to benefit our students at class and school events.

It is a mandated requirement that parents and family members are inducted as volunteers at our school so please ensure you have done so in order to assist.  A current Working with Children Check is also required and is needed to be worn when you are engaging in volunteer work.

If you are interested in volunteering for the newly dated School Athletics Day at Casey Fields please indicate this on the Operoo correspondence for the Athletics Carnival. You will be contacted in due course confirming your attendance on the day. We will be asking that you meet Mr Sanchez and Mrs Hinds at Casey Fields at 8:30am in order to register and receive information about your role on the day. If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact me: mhinds@sttcbourne.catholic.edu.au or 5996 7525.

A final reminder is to parents of Senior students. Camp information, permission and medical forms were sent to families via Operoo and we ask that these are completed as soon as possible to allow teachers to commence work with group allocations and medical documentation. A Camp Information Evening has been rescheduled for Tuesday 2nd March 2021 at 7:00pm in the school hall.  We hope to see all Senior student parents there as this will be a good opportunity for parents and carers to receive further information about the camp to Candlebark Farm and ask any questions.

Working in partnership.
