Dear Parents and Carers,

School Disco

Last Friday we held our school disco for K – 6 students. It was a great event that ran very smoothly. My thanks to Katherine Jones and the Community Council for all of their hard work and organisation. I would also like to thank one of our fathers, Daniel Muller, for his generosity of spirit in providing the use of his sound equipment, lighting, and time for the disco.

Confirmation

It is a busy period of time for our Year 6 students, particularly our Confirmation candidates. On Friday, our Year 6 students have their Confirmation Retreat Day and next Tuesday, our candidates receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at 6pm. My thanks to our Year 6 teachers, Paul Jenkins, Katie McGregor and Nic Marsham; and to our REC, Andrea McQuirk, for all of their hard work. My thanks as well to all of our parents who volunteered their time as Home Group leaders. Most of all, I would like to congratulate our Confirmation candidates for taking this step in faith.

Parent Teacher Interviews and Reports

A reminder that next week, over three days, we have our Semester 1 Parent/Teacher interviews. Please book a time through the link that was sent out via Compass. My thanks to our Assistant Principal, Samantha Mance, for her work in coordinating the interviews, and to all teachers, for their availability and preparation for the interviews. Reports are in the concluding preparation stages and the teachers are calibrating final assessment pieces and assigning grades to students. Reports will be published via Compass on Monday June 30th.

Working Bee

A reminder that this Sunday, June 22nd, 10am – 12pm, we are holding a Working Bee at the school. All parents are invited to attend and contribute a little time and energy to the beautification of the school grounds. It is also a great opportunity to make new connections with other parents and deepen connections within existing relationships. It will also get your step count up! My thanks to the Community Council for organising the Working Bee.

Sts Peter and Paul Feast Day

Friday June 27th in Week 9, sees the school celebrate our feast day. The school’s normal routines will be altered for the day, and all classes will be involved in special activities throughout the day. We are celebrating a whole school Mass at 12pm in the school hall. All parents are invited to attend the Mass on the day.

Term 1 Last Day

A reminder that the last day of Term 1 for all students in a Catholic systemic school is Thursday, July 3rd. Friday the 4th is a PL and planning day for staff. The first day of Term 2 for students is Tuesday, July 22nd.

Have a wonderful week with your families.
