Week 2 Term 1 2020

Beginning of the Year School Mass

Thank you to our families who supported our first mass of the year. Special thanks to our Faith and Community Leaders, Miss La Fontaine and Mrs O'Dwyer for preparing a beautiful mass to start off the year. All of the staff came to the front and Bishop Elliott commissioned us for the 2020 school year as we prayed we would be inspired by the teachings of Jesus.
Our first Family mass will be at 5pm on Sunday 1st March. We look forward to our families joining us to give thanks to all of the blessings we have received from our loving God.

Connection Event
Thanks to those parents and carers who were able to join us in the hall for our Connection Event on Wednesday. Below are the slides with some of the information we shared. Thanks to our enthusiastic team of staff who all attended and were available to meet the parents. Classrooms and learning spaces are looking wonderful. It was also a great opportunity to see the new furniture.

Information about casual clothes on birthdays for new families

Last year, one of our Year 6 leaders put forward a special request to wear casual clothes to school on their birthday. We agreed that the children can wear casual clothes with runners on their birthday.  Here are the guidelines:
1. This is optional. Your child can still choose to wear their school uniform.
2. Birthdays that fall in the weekend (celebrate it on the first day of the school week) or the holidays (birthdays in January and early February choose a day during Week 3 or Week 4, term holidays choose a day in Week 1 or 2 of the following term).
3. If the birthday falls on an excursion day, for safety reasons, they must wear their uniform and choose a different day during the week of their birthday to wear casual clothes.
4. If the birthday falls on a PE Day then they must wear suitable casual clothes for PE.
