I would like to acknowledge a few things in the wrap up of Term 1 2021.

• We have been so impressed and proud of our students in the way they settled into the school year and we have already seen some wonderful growth in their learning, resilience and conduct.

• The way in which our families have worked with us in Term 1 with some COVID-19 guideline changes. We are now quite used to receiving updates and managing them according to our ability to make sense and act.

• The way in which our staff have worked to support families across the term, including the ever important pastoral care and wellbeing part of every day. 

In particular, I need to again thank each and every family in our community for the way you have supported each other in the past few weeks when life again has taken a turn that has affected many. Your generosity in donating to the school this week and the Parish so that we can do good for those needing our help is humbling. Mrs Ucdereli and I had the pleasure of delivering two cars full of food items for the St Agnes' Food Pantry today. We know this will be appreciated by the many who will benefit. Some staff and families in our community have been cleaning up with others to try and restore their homes to the way they should be. I have never been prouder to lead a school community than times like these. Thank you and well done!

Please remember that we are here for you in whatever way we can assist. Visit St Agnes' Parish website for details of ways to assist or seek assistance - https://stagnesparish.org.au/

Also please let us know over the holidays if there is anything urgent you need so we can direct help to you. While school is closed, you can send a message to one of our school phones where someone can respond within 24 hours - 0436 812 113. 

Once again, enjoy our silly little video acknowledging the super heroes who are out there saving our community right now. We can be heroes, even just for one day! 

Wishing you a safe and Holy Easter.
