Welcome Back

I would like to wish all of our families a wonderful start back to school for this term. I hope the holiday time was a chance to refresh and relax a little over Easter. 

We have started well this week with lots of great community experiences together. 
   

• Our Cross Country on Tuesday was a wonderful day for competitive and non-competitive runners, but in particular, it was exciting to have parents and carers able to join us. Today those students who were successful and will represent us in the Zone level of Cross Country received their awards; we look forward to their continued pathway in sport next week.
• Yesterday afternoon a team of our wonderful staff took potential Kindergarten 2022 families through the school for a tour. With enrolments open and another tour on Saturday 1st May, we encourage all current and future families to complete their online applications via the link on our school website as soon as possible.

• Today, we also remembered those who have given so much to keep our country safe over many years with an ANZAC Day prayer service. On Sunday, while we won’t be able to march as usual, we encourage families to mark this day in other ways. You will see more in the “Celebrating Our Faith” section of the newsletter. Please note Monday is not a Public Holiday and we look forward to seeing everyone for a normal school day.

Next week is another great week, as we celebrate what it means to be part of Catholic Education, marked by 200 years in 2021. This is of great significance to our Parish and school, so we hope that you will enjoy this with us and celebrate “Faith in the Future”. Staff and students are getting excited about dressing on Friday as people from the past, with some great activities planned for all grades.

You may notice a bit of a theme already this term….we are seeing a return of community involvement in school that we have not seen for a year! We are so excited that we will be able to offer more opportunities for parents and carers to be with us this term in lots of ways, so please continue to look at our newsletter and notes that will come home, inviting you to spend time with us. There will still be some guidelines to follow, but that is a small price to pay for being able to see each other more.   

Thinking of our community

Our sympathy goes out to Noah and Archie Rex (KBC and 2S) and their family for the recent loss of their Great Grandmother to whom both boys were very close to.
