Dear Parents and Carers

Last Friday, we participated in the Boorowa Touch Football and Netball competition. It was the first time in 4 years that we were able to do so, as COVID had disrupted previous years, and it was rained out last year. All children and sporting teams had a wonderful time. I would like to congratulate the children who participated, as I have only heard good reports. The children who traveled on the bus to Boorowa, for example, were reported by the bus driver to be exemplary in their manners and behaviour. Congratulations to all involved, and my thanks to the many parents who traveled and supported the students, in a variety of ways. My thanks as well, to Veronica Hall, Cathy Shepherd, Bridget Pigram, Luke Gubler and Sarah Walsh, for organising our involvement, and for supervising our students.

School Disco

This Friday night, the Community Council has organised our final disco for the year. K – 2 students are from 6pm – 6.45pm; Grades 3 – 6 are from 7.00pm – 7.45pm. As always, our music is provided by Jungle Jerry, to whom I am very grateful and appreciative. Thank you. Parents are required to supervise their children on the night, as staff supervision will be minimal.

Andrew Fuller

A reminder that renowned child psychologist is speaking at Sts Peter and Paul, on Tuesday, November 14, at 6pm. He is speaking on child and adolescent wellbeing and resilience. Andrew is excellent and well worth listening to, and I encourage all parents to come along, if possible. This event is organised by the Community Council and again, my thanks to the CC members for coordinating Andrew’s visit. Tickets are available by clickinkg on the link below and they are selling fast.
