Dear Parents/Carers,

"God our Father, we know that you love and care for us. Thank you for bringing us together again after lockdown. We pray that we will continue to grow in faith and love. We pray that our minds and hearts will be open to the friendships and opportunities that we meet along the way. We ask God to bless us and keep us safe during our time at school."

After 13 school weeks, we now have our wonderful school community back to face-to-face learning! What a joy these first few days have been. To have the sounds of the children at school once again has been a delight. While remote learning still enabled some connections between the children and their teachers, nothing can replace the impact that being face-to-face has on this vital relationship. 

Of course, the one thing that is now missing is the opportunity for you, the parents and carers, to get more involved at school. Hopefully, once it is deemed safe enough to do so, these opportunities will return once restrictions ease.

World Teachers Day

This Friday, 29 October, schools across Australia acknowledge World Teachers Day. Your child may like to create a thank you card, personal note or drawing for their teacher as a simple way of acknowledging the care and dedication they show to their work.

Afternoon Pick-Up

The procedures that we have in place for the afternoon pick-up are to ensure we are following the COVID-safe directive that schools must not allow parents to congregate on the school site. Therefore we ask you to be mindful of the following:

* Once you collect your child, please leave the school site promptly

* Years 3-6 will be dismissed from 3.00pm, so you are asked to not enter the school grounds until 3.00pm

* If you have children in classes spread across Kinder-Year 6, it is best that you wait until at least 3.00pm to collect all of your children.

Thank you for the support that you have been showing for these changes.

Wishing you a safe and happy week,

Paul Moroney

Principal
