Principal's Report

Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome back to Term 3

We have had a positive start at school with the children for Term 3. They seem to have had a good opportunity over the holidays to recharge their batteries. It has been pleasing to see them settle back into good learning routines and maintaining positive relationships with one another. We look forward to, hopefully, a term with minimal disruption!

One of the readings at Mass this week is from the Psalms which reminds us of the hope that can be gained from the light of the Lord: "In you is the source of life and in your light we see light." As we continue to navigate the uncertainty of the pandemic, I pray that we can all find solace in knowing that there is light when we place our trust in God.

On Monday we welcomed back Mrs Runko to our staff following a period of maternity leave. She will be teaching one of our Year 1 classes. We also welcomed Miss Tobin to our school as Assistant Principal. Hopefully in the near future there will be opportunities for you to meet both of these new staff members.

Alpha Online

There has been a recent final push for the Alpha Online program for parents and carers. As the promotional material indicates, it is a 10-week program which allows you to explore Christianity in a friendly, non-judgemental environment. You are encouraged to even be part of the first session to find out more about it if you are concerned about being able to commit to the full 10 weeks.

Term 3 COVID Restrictions and Procedures

The restrictions that were in place at the end of Term 2 remain in place now. You are urged to visit the Parent Portal on the diocesan website to keep up to date. From our school's perspective, the most important aspects to keep in mind are:

  • children should not be at school if they have flu-like symptoms, and they should only return following medical clearance
  • parents and carers are unable to be on school grounds, except at pick-up time in the afternoon. I am grateful to those parents who ensure they follow the pick-up procedure by not staying on school grounds for more than is necessary
  • our school continues to have a cleaner onsite during each school day attending to high touch surfaces.

God bless.
