FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents & Guardians

Welcome to Week 7

Last Thursday evening we held our Parents and Friends Annual General Meeting with the main order of business being the nominations and elections of office bearers for 2024.  I would like to take the opportunity to thank those executive members who have stepped away from their roles especially Lorinda Goodsall and Katrina Perkins.  Both community members have been awesome in their commitment to supporting our students on their educational journey.

The following community members will constitute the P&F Executive for 2024 whom I look forward to working with next year.

Next Saturday, the 25^th of November will be our final Children’s Mass for the year.  Please come and join us in Our Lady Help of Christians Church at 6:30pm as we celebrate with the Parish.  There will be a ‘cuppa’ after mass, so families are asked to bring a shared plate for a light supper if possible.  Hope to see you there.

This week marked our final Monday Morning Whole School Assembly as our final two weeks we will be holding our Semester 2 – Performing Arts Assembly on Monday, 20^th November in Week 8 and our Semester 2 Academic Awards on Monday, 27^th November in Week 9.  All are welcome to attend these special events.  If your child will be receiving an award, you will be notified by the school via text message by Friday the 24^th of November.
