Dear Parents and Carers,

God, give us the courage to live in the now.

Help us to live into the ordinary days of our lives.

Remind us that this day is a gift from you in all its ordinariness.

For this day, we give you thanks, Gracious God, because you gave us another day to love you and to love each other.

Amen.

The Parish celebration of the Sacrament of First Holy Communion was a special moment for the children and their families on the weekend. Fr John reminded the children of how this blessed sacrament, when it is received with genuine commitment, helps to bring us closer to Jesus and to be in communion with others.

Once again, we give thanks for their families, Fr John, Fr Feleki, Fr Richard, the Parish Sacramental team and our own staff who helped the children prepare for their special day.

Student Academic Progress Reporting

We highly value any opportunity for parents to find out about their child's progress and growth at school. Many of you make contact with classroom teachers throughout the year, and teachers also schedule appointments as the need arises. This supports the school and family connections which makes for meaningful support of the children.

Next week will begin a scheduled reporting process that we have at the end of Semester 1 (Terms 1 & 2) each year. Academic reports for students in Year 1-6 will be made available via Compass toward the end of next week. In our diocesan system of schools, Kindergarten receive a report at the end of Semester 2 only.

In the following week (26-30 June), we will then be providing you with an opportunity to book a Parent/Teacher Meeting to discuss their progress. This will be for all children from Kindergarten to Year 6. We look forward to engaging with you through this process.

Wishing you a great week,

Paul Moroney

Principal
