STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Stations of the Cross will be held on Thursday, 3rd April, at 11.30 in the Church.

Holy Week is the most sacred time in the Christian calendar, marking Jesus' final days on earth and his ultimate sacrifice for humanity. It is a time of deep spiritual reflection, reminding us of his journey of love, suffering and redemption.

We will conclude with the 14th station, 'Jesus is buried. ' When we return to school, we will celebrate the resurrection.

This will be a prayerful way to conclude the school term and a means to begin preparing our homes and hearts for the upcoming events of Holy Week and Easter. All families are welcome to join us. 

2025 EASTER RAFFLE

The St Ita’s world-famous Giant Easter Egg Raffle will be back in 2025.

On Friday, 21st March, all children will have a free dress day at school. The cost for free dress is a minimum donation of ONE Easter Egg (you can offer more eggs if you wish). All donated eggs will then be bundled into hampers and raffled off on our final day of the term. The Raffle will be drawn on Thursday, 3rd April, at 12:30 pm in the school hall, following our Stations of the Cross Liturgy, which starts at 11:30 am in the Church.

In the coming days, all St Ita’s families will receive a book of 10 tickets sold for $1 per ticket. All the tickets and money must be returned to the school office by Monday 31st March at the latest. If any families would like more raffle tickets, please have your child pick up another booklet at the Admin Office or contact Admin via email or phone at (admin@stidrouin.catholic.edu.au or 5623 7222).

Good luck to all, and I hope you are a winner!

PARENT INFORMATION PRESENTATIONS

Our teaching staff have put together information slides for each grade level to help provide families with important information about our school.  The slides include information relevant to each grade level, such as specialist timetables, classroom expectations, and special activities that may be happening.  We encourage families to look at these slides as they will assist in answering many common questions about school life at St. Ita's.

STUDENT MEDICATION 

We understand that, from time to time, students need to take medication while they are at school. If so, please contact the Admin Office to complete a Medication Administration Form. 

All medication must be delivered to the office in its original packaging. If it has been prescribed by your GP, the pharmacy labeling on the packaging must include your child's name.
 
Please note: We will make every effort to help you with medication administration. Wherever possible, medication should be scheduled outside school hours. For example, medication required three times a day is generally not required during a school day: it can be taken before and after school and before bed.
