Aboriginal Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We commit ourselves to actively working alongside Aboriginal people for reconciliation and justice.

Dear Families, 

Well, we made it! We have come to the end of a very busy and productive term. 

We have been very busy in all areas throughout Term Two - Sacramental celebrations, continued learning, social, community and sporting events that have brought our school community together. This culminated this week with our Parent/Teacher interviews. As you are aware, school reports were sent home electronically last Friday. These reports are based on the NESA syllabus outcomes. We are mindful of maintaining the dignity of the child, whilst providing parents with honest information about their child’s development and achievements in these reports. These reports are the culmination of only one semester’s work and therefore should be read in light of that. Thank you to the many parents who have taken the opportunity to come along this week to an interview with teachers – this is a great way to discuss progress and set goals for the remainder of the year.

There are still two terms to complete the required outcomes for each year level and everyone has the opportunity to reflect on this semester’s report and make the necessary adjustments to ensure that progress continues to improve, in preparation for the final report at the end of Term Four.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported our school throughout Term 2. We celebrated Mother's Day, Catholic Schools Week, The Sacrament of Confirmation and our school Athletics Carnival all of which were great opportunities for our school community to gather and enjoy the company of others. 

Special thanks to the children who are the life and spirit of our school - their interest, enthusiasm, co-operation and happy manner, make this school a welcoming place in which to be each day. Special thanks to staff for their co-operation and support, which ensures everything runs smoothly, and who give their best at all times. Finally, to our parents and carers who daily trust your children to our care and who continually support in so many ways – we say thank you.

I wish our students and families a very relaxing and safe holiday and we look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday, 18th July.

Trinity Afternoon

This afternoon we joined with students and staff from Trinity as they completed their Colour Run at the Rugby grounds. The children enjoyed watching the Trinity students being sprayed with coloured water as they went through trhe obstacles. Our students then had a turn at the obstacle course.

Thank you to Trinity for inviting us!

New Office Murals

We have some new murals at the entrance to the school office and on the front counter. These are great additions and help to make our office a welcoming place.

Sacrament of Confirmation

Congratulations to our students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last Wednesday evening. It was a lovely celebration led by Fr Bing. We thank our Year Three teachers and Mr Hatchman for everything they did to prepare our students. We also thank Mr Whitney for the beautiful music and Mrs Parsons and Mrs Fraser for the administration work.

Athletics Carnival

A very big thank you to Mr Tickle for preparing and leading our Athletics Carnival at Woodlawn last week. It was great to see our students  enjoying the beautiful day and the smiles on their faces were priceless. Thank you to Woodlawn for hosting us and to their Parent Forum for running the canteen.
