SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION 2021

Unfortunately, due to the new circuit breaker actions introduced to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) across Victoria from late last Thursday night, all weekend Masses last week were cancelled. Due to the unpredictability of this happening again Fr Peter is inviting our Reconciliation families to come along to make your family's commitment at the end of any one of the following Masses below over the next two weekends.

Please book online to attend one of these Masses, you will find the link in our ‘Parish Bulletin’ section of this newsletter.

Please note: The link is for this weekend’s Masses either Saturday 20^th or Sunday 21^st February. If you are wanting to book for the weekend of February 27^th/ 28^th you will need to use the link in next week’s bulletin.

For the families that are not able to attend one of these Masses you will be able to make your Commitment at one of our Reconciliation workshops.

SENIOR HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Last Thursday we were blessed with a beautiful morning for our annual Grade 3-6 House Swimming Carnival at the Warragul Outdoor Pool. The students showed great house spirit and sportsmanship throughout the day!

GRADE 6 BOMBER JACKETS

Our Grade 6 students will be excited to try on sample Bomber jackets this week for sizing, ready to order by Friday 5th March if they would like to purchase a jacket. Order forms will be sent home tomorrow. Payment is preferred by flexischools where possible. 

HAIR

Any students with shoulder length hair or longer must tie their hair neatly back using school colours: red, blue, white or black.

HEAD LICE

We have had several cases of head lice confirmed at school. If lice are found, students are permitted to attend school once the hair has been treated. We recommend a further treatment after 7 days to ensure any juvenile lice have all been detected. 

LUNCH ORDERS - order early for a Friday

Lunch & snack orders are available from our school canteen every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the school term. Orders are placed via Flexischools.

Due to the overwhelming demand statewide for Flexischools on-line system for  school lunch orders every Friday,  we are requesting St Ita's parents to please order your Friday lunch orders on-line early and order the day before on a Thursday evening or earlier, whenever possible to avoid any delays and technical issues.

If you do need to order on a Friday morning, please try and order before 7am and please check you receive a confirmation email of your order.

Flexischools does give you the opportunity to order for future dates or as a re-ocurring order if your child has a lunch order every Friday, you may want to choose this option.
