Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Carers,
As a follow up to the letter that was distributed to parents yesterday, I assure you once again that the police continue to regard the threat as low risk and urge us to keep operating as normal. There is currently an extra presence of security around the school and parish site as a matter of precaution. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school office.
Parish First Reconciliation
We have a number of students at our school celebrating their First Reconciliation next week. Following Baptism, this is the second sacrament that we receive as members of the Catholic church community. Participating in this sacrament gives the children the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God and to experience the power of loving forgiveness. It also enables them to reflect on how way they can live a Christian life.
Once again, I would like to acknowledge the commitment of Fr John and the parish, with support from Mrs Hampton, for ensuring that the Sacraments have been able to continue this year in the midst of the COVID restrictions.
Swimming Carnival
A notification will be pushed out soon on Compass regarding our school Swimming Carnival. It will take place on 9 December, however it will only be for competitive swimmers (i.e. they must be able to competently swim 50m). This is because we do not have exclusive use of the indoor pool, a requirement of the COVID directives.
P & F 5c Fundraiser
There is some information in today's Newsletter regarding a 5c challenge to raise funds for the P & F. Your support of this is greatly appreciated, particularly considering the challenges that the P & F have faced during this year.
'Christmas' Mufti Day - Friday 27 November
As we are unable to have a Christmas Concert this year, we will be creating a digital 'Christmas Card' to be shared with families. To support this, we are asking children to come to school in 'Christmas mufti' on Friday 27 November for a day of filming. Information about the type of clothes children can wear will be provided.
Wishing you a safe and enjoyable week,
Principal
