Dear Parents/Carers,

Almighty and ever living God,
you invite us deeper into your world, your people, your Lent.
May this time be one of outward focus;
seeking you in those we often ignore.
Help us live a Lent focused on freedom, generosity, and encounter.
Give us hearts hungry to serve you
and those who need what we have to give.

Amen

I would like to pass on my thanks to Fr John and the Parish for celebrating a beautiful 'Welcome' Mass last Sunday for the families who are new to our school. Fr John wants all our families to know that you are an integral part of the Parish and he looks forward to extending a welcome at all parish Masses and events.

School Open Day

Today we welcomed nearly forty families for a tour and morning tea a part of their enrolment for Kindergarten next year. They were extremely impressed by the tour run by our Year 6 leaders, the engagement of the children in their learning and the friendly welcome they received from students and staff. 

I would like to pass on my thanks to the current parents who helped with serving morning tea and for answering any questions that our visitors had.

P & F Meeting - Treasurer needed

At Monday's P & F Meeting, the role of Treasurer was not filled. If there is anyone in our parent community who would be willing to take on this role, please contact the office. The current Treasurer cannot continue in the role as she has been doing it for three years and that is the limit as set out in the Constitution. However, she is more than happy to work alongside anyone who would takes on the role. I am assured that it is not too demanding and their is a lot of support available.

School Strategic Goals

Each year our staff set strategic goals, which are created following an analysis and discernment of data. The three goals for this year are:

• To animate and embed the Vision and Mission
• To create consistent school-wide structures are in place to explicitly teach reading.
• To establish consistent, creative and accessible parent communication methods between school, families and the broader community

At the beginning year Mass we focused on our school's Vision and Mission statement. To help the children gain a deeper understanding of the statement, a short video has been created that will be used in our classrooms. Feel free to watch it using this link:
