Important Information This Week

NEW BUILD OPENING AND BLESSING

Bishop Greg, Father Brendan, members of parliament and representatives from DOSCEL will be onsite for the official blessing and opening of the new building on Friday 8^th August at 11.00am.

The ceremony will be held in the meeting space in the new grade 1-2 build with children and guests. I’ll put a morning tea on for our guests once we’ve finished the formal ceremony and students can go back to class.

DOSCEL BOARD VISIT

On Wednesday 13^th August we will have a visit from the DOSCEL Board to have a look at our school in action. I’m not sure of times but I believe it will be around 12 noon. I will keep staff and parents posted.

BAPTISIM PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN

Have you ever thought about Baptism for your school aged child?

An invitation is extended to parents who desire Catholic Baptism for children of school age to attend our Older Baptism Program. The program consists of two parent/child workshops, held on Tuesday 26^th August, and Tuesday 2^nd September in the Marian Room in Warragul (enter car park from Bowen Street). Each session will begin with an afternoon tea at 3.45. When families have attended these two sessions, parents will need to attend a parent session to book a time for Baptism. For more information, please contact Liz on warragul.sacraments@cdsale.org.au or ring 5623 1642

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.
