2022 SIBLING ENROLMENTS NOW OPEN

This is our final reminder to all our current parents that Foundation enrolments for the 2022 school year are now open and we are now taking bookings for enrolment interviews and school tours.

If you require an interview and school tour with your child, please contact our school admin on 5623 7222 as soon as possible to book a time.

All parents will be required to complete a student questionnaire prior to the commencement of your interview (this takes a couple of minutes and you will receive it on arrival). You will also receive an enrolment pack with an enrolment form enclosed.

All sibling enrolments are given first preference of a place in the 2022 school year and therefore we strongly advise you to book your interview and return your application form promptly to guarantee enrolment for next year.

PYJAMA DAY

Thanks to everyone in our school community who supported our Mini Vinnies Pyjama day. The kids and staff loved coming to school rugged up on our Pyjamas and more importantly we’ve helped re-stock the St Vincent De Paul food pantry as we head into the busy winter months. Thanks and God bless you all for your generous support of this wonderful group.

FRIDAY SAUSAGE SIZZLE

Thanks to all our foundation parents and carers who turned up on Friday to the foundation sausage sizzle. It was a glorious day and I was so impressed with the turn out. Our foundation kids were so proud to show off their school, their classrooms and their teachers and ESO’s. Our next Friday Sausage Sizzle will be Grade Ones on June 4th.

WHOLE SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES

At our next whole school assembly, I will be inviting parents of the "Student of the Week" Award and our "Sports Star" Award to attend so they can share in their child's success. Parents of these two awards will be notified prior to assembly. I will also be allowing parents whose children are presenting Assembly Prayer or Class News to attend our assembly. All Parents attending the assembly will be asked to sign in via a QR code before entry and observe correct social distancing rules outlined in our hall space.

PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS

Parent teacher interviews will be on-site in the hall on Monday 21st June 3:40-7:00 and Wednesday 23rd from 3:40 pm until 5:00 pm. The school reports will be sent out on-line Friday 18th June. Information for booking online will be sent next week. Jessica Carroll will run her Foundation Interviews next week on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Please see her class dojo notice for booking instructions.

PUPPETEERS/SCHOOL CONCERT

In preparation for the concert we have puppeteers coming to school beginning Tuesday 22^nd until Friday 25th and Wednesday 12th July they be making the props for the concert. Jenny Adrichem will be coordinating the School Concert for her last time this year. Auditions for main cast for Grade 6 students will begin over the next few weeks.

SPEED LIMITS IN OUR SCHOOL

I have had a number of parents contact me, concerned about car speeds at drop off and pick up time. In the interest of child safety, could I please ask all parents using drop off and pick up to adhere to the 10km speed limit. In line with our Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviours, we ask all parents and carers to exercise patience and respect during drop off and pick up within our school community.
