Community Update #1.6 Tuesday Zoom Meetings & P& F Update

A HUGE THANK YOU to our families, children and staff for supporting each other to get off to a great start yesterday with Flexible Learning for 2021. Teachers were pleased to see the faces of nearly all children from Year 1 - Year 6 at the first Zoom meetings of the day.

Now that we are successfully up and running, this is a reminder that the first Zoom meeting today is at 9am. The second Zoom meetings is at 12:10 and the final one for the day at 2:30pm. These meetings are a perfect opportunity to reconnect with the class, check attendance, share learning and an opportunity for children to ask questions and be supported by their teacher and classmates.

Instructions for learning activities are accessible on the Flexible Learning tab for all year levels and specialist teachers on the Learning Community Site at this link.

Please email principal@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au or lizh@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au with any questions or queries about Flexible Learning.

Pink List - We are waiting to hear from our last few families!!

The Pink List is a St Patrick's P&F grand tradition, providing families with details of parents and children in each class and grade in the school. It makes arranging playdates a breeze, and helps with learning parents' names and matching children to their parents.

Emails asking you to confirm your contact details have been sent to all families we have contact details for. If you have not received an email from our Pink List coordinator Christie Alexander (christiemalexander@gmail.com) please email her as we are missing your details. You can choose not to have your contact details included if you prefer. When school re-opens we will be sending notices home to the last few families we haven't yet heard from. Thankyou to all families who have responded - we hope to have the Pink List printed and available in the coming week or two.

Pink List Community Pages - Promote your business

The 2021 Pink List will include a list of businesses associated with our school community. We'd love to support you! Thankyou to those families who have responded so far. If you would like to promote your business for free, please send an email with details of your business to pandf@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au
