Important Information This Week
NEW BUILD BLESSING AND OFFICIAL OPENING
Bishop Greg, Father Brendan, members of parliament and representatives from DOSCEL were onsite today for the official blessing and opening of the new Grade 1-2 building.
The ceremony was a beautiful moment shared between our children and guests and we have so much to be grateful for in this beautiful new learning space.
SCHOOL WIDE BULLYING NO WAY WEEK 11-15 AUGUST
Bullying No Way Week is Australia's key bullying prevention initiative for schools. It provides an opportunity for schools to create a shared understanding about bullying behaviours and share their bullying prevention policies and strategies.
The national week of action unites government, Catholic and independent schools and their communities across the country. Together, we can foster practical approaches to prevent bullying in Australian schools.
The theme for 2025 is 'Be bold. Be kind. Speak up.' It takes courage to spark change.
Bullying is everyone's responsibility. It takes a community to be brave and address bullying behaviours, within and beyond the school gate.
Students can be bold, kind and take a stand to support others being bullied. While parents and teachers are there to support children and young people learn how to behave in a positive way.
In our community and in our school, we want a place where everyone can belong, a place that celebrates everyone, and where bullying is never accepted.
This Bullying No Way Week, we're asking students, schools, families and communities to be bold and say something, be kind and support someone, and be proud to take a stand against bullying.
DOSCEL BOARD VISIT
On Wednesday 13th August we will have a visit from the Board 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. Will keep staff posted.

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.
