BOOK WEEK
We will be holding our Book Week activities in Week 8 from Monday 9 September. There will be class readings of the nominated and winning books for 2025. On Friday of that week, we will be holding our Book Fair as well as celebrating the Grandparents in our school community. There will also be a Book Character Parade with the theme of “Reading is Magic”, so put on your thinking caps and come up with some great costumes.Watch out for more information next time.
UNIFORM TRANSITION
Our normal change over time for uniforms is the commencement of Term 4. With the warm weather predicted for the coming week, PARENTS may choose to transition to the summer uniform earlier if they feel the weather warrants it.Please ensure your child is in either winter uniform OR summer uniform – not a mixture of both.
Please ensure your child’s jacket is labelled with their names as this is often the first piece of clothing to be discarded when playing.
FATHER’S DAY BREAKFAST
We are looking forward to hosting our DADs and their children at our breakfast on Friday 30 August. Breakfast will be available from 7:30am for those that have to get to work early. Make sure you put your order in on QKR by Wednesday next week.After breakfast, Year 3 & 4 will lead us in a Liturgy to celebrate our dads and this will be followed by a mystery activity (it might be helpful to know something about the Archimedes Principle).
REGIONAL PUBLIC SPEAKING
We had some wonderful children representing the school at the Regional Public Speaking finals this week. They all performed admirably, especially Allison who was runner up for her division. We wish her well as she moves to the Diocesan finals later this term.PUPIL FREE DAY
A reminder that the school will be closed on MONDAY 16 September for a PUPIL FREE DAY.
The teachers will be looking at LOVE IN ACTION: Navigating the Path of Christian Service. The day will be facilitated by Bishop Danny Meagher (Aux Bishop of the Sydney Archdiocese). The day explores the concept of Christian service in the Catholic tradition and of our shared responsibility to give witness to the enduring principles of faith, mercy and love.
STUDENT ANXIETY
A very worthwhile online webinar is available for parents on Wednesday 18 September. It will discuss the issue of anxiety in children and how it affects their capacity to discover their potential.See the attached flyer for details.
PIE DRIVE
Our annual pie drive is now open on QKR. This is another great fundraiser for our school. Please place your order through QKR prior to 6th September. Orders will be delivered to the school on the 17th September.
