Community Update #1.9


ECSI surveys - Do you wish to participate ?

To find out more about the ECSI Survey and the theology that underpins it, visit the Enhancing Catholic School Identity (ECSI) – An introduction to ECSI website.

So far 4 out of 60 families (Yr 4-6)  have completed the survey. Thanks if you have already completed the survey. We need at least 50 surveys completed to gain accurate data for our school.

If you are a parent from children in Prep, Yr 1, Yr 2, Yr 3 and Yr 4 and you wish to complete the survey or have any questions. Please email principal@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au and I will send you the survey details. The surveys need to be completed by April 8. 

Congratulations to the SRC leaders for Semester 1



This Monday the Year 6 leaders will be presented with their badges. Parents are welcome to join us outdoors for assembly at 9am weather permitting.

Well done to all of the families who rode or walked to school on Friday. We had a great turnout !!
Thanks to Dr Katie Allen and Jamie from the Ride2School and all of our staff who supported this initiative.
Thanks for the gold coin donation for Caritas Project Compassion to remind us that people in many parts of the walk long distances to collect clean water every day.




Parent Access Module Manual (PAM) & Simon Everywhere (SE)

Here is a link to a PAM manual to help you understand how PAM works. There is also information about the Simon Everywhere App which you use for quick access to PAM.

We still have a few parents who haven't registered their email addresses for PAM. Please contact the office for support.  From Term 2 we will fully transition to PAM as our main source of information and no longer use Flexischools.
