Dear Parents and Carers

OSH News

At the end of 2024 school year, OSH are completing their tenure as before and after school care providers. I would like to thank Ellie and her team, for their service to the school and its families, and for providing valuable out-of-school care for the students of Sts Peter and Paul. OSH will continue until the end of the school year. From early January 2025, Sts Peter and Paul welcomes the care providers Community Services #1, who will provide before and after school care, as well as holiday care. Further details will be sent home in the near future.

2025 Intentions

Sts Peter and Paul are in the final stages of organising staffing for 2025. If you are aware that your child will not be at school next year, but have not yet informed the front office, I would ask please that you let the school know as soon as possible, for administration reasons. Thank you for your support.

Class Lists

Shortly, we will begin the process whereby students are asked to nominate 4 friends they would like to have with them in class next year. We will ask you to assist your child at home, in choosing his or her four friends. One of those friends is guaranteed by the school to be with your child next year. If you have any concerns around class placement for next year, I would ask that you email me directly at cameron.johns@cg.catholic.edu.au

Treasurer – Community Council

After 3 years of service as Treasurer, Pat Salter is stepping down from the role at the end of this year. Pat has done an excellent job and I would like to thank him for his service to the Council and the School. I would like to ask parents to consider volunteering for the role, for 2025 and beyond. If you would like to volunteer for the role of Treasurer, please email me directly on cameron.johns@cg.catholic.edu.au, or the Community Council at : scc.stpandp@gmail.com.

Staff Achievement

I am very pleased to announce that Tricia Drabsch, who is one of our amazing Classroom Support Assistants, has graduated from her Occupational Therapy degree. Furthermore, she has recieved the Occupational Therapy Australia Highest Achiever Award (Academic Excellence, Highest Grade Point Average) for 4th year graduating University of Canberra Occupational Therapy Student. This is by any measure an extraordinary achievement, and one that honours Tricia and her efforts. I congratulate Tricia and wish her all the very best as she puts her great talents and skills to the betterment of students everywhere.

Assembly Time

As per the Compass message I sent out yesterday, a reminder that Assembly times for the remainder of this term are at 2.30pm. They are still taking place on Thursdays.

Have a wonderful week with your families.

Best wishes

Cameron Johns
