Principal's Report
Dear Parents and Carers,
SAVE THE DATE!
TERM 3 STAFF SPIRITUALITY DAY WEEK 6
Friday 30th August
Students are not required to attend school on this day - all staff will be engaged in off site professional learning.
FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION
Next Thursday, 15th August, is the Feast of the Assumption. It is a Holy Day of Obligation and as a whole school, we are going to Mass to celebrate this Feast. Mass is on at 12 midday. You are more than welcome to join us as we rejoice in Mary, the Mother of God, being assumed into Heaven.
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation workshops begin next week and will continue for 4 weeks in preparation for the children to receive the Holy Spirit on Saturday 21st September.
We keep these children preparing for this sacrament in our prayers at this time.
YEAR SIX TO CANBERRA
We wish Year 6 well as they travel to the nation’s capital on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th August. I thank the Year 6 teachers, Miss Symons, Mr Astill and Mrs Merrett who are taking time away from their own families in order to attend this overnight excursion. I also thank the parent helpers, Mr Houston and Mr Webb for accompanying the students.
As I will be attending this overnight excursion, we welcome back Mr John Walsh to St John’s as Relieving Principal. Please direct any queries to Mrs Libro, Mrs Billett or Mr Walsh in my absence.
Wishing everyone a great week ahead,
Mrs Jane Webb
Acting Principal
