HOLY ROSARY NEWSLETTER
Term 4 Week 6 - 16 November
FROM MARK:
Dear Parents and Guardians
This week’s newsletter is out early. We will be back to normal next week. A reminder that Fiona and her 4 Catherine gang are entertaining us at tomorrow’s assembly – the final one for 2018 – and grandparents are joining their grandchildren for lunch. More information is in this newsletter.
If you can make the Annual Community Meeting where reports are presented from our School Board and our Holy Rosary Community Executive, it is on at 5pm in the staff room on Tuesday. All of our staff attend and it would be great to see a good contingent of parents and friends as well. Please do give it some thought.
And, finally, thank you for your support of the Polain family on the passing of their little girl Grace. I know that your thoughts and prayers mean a great deal to them at this time. May she rest in peace.
Mark de Kluyver
Principal

Message from Students at St Joseph's Kununurra
Earlier this year we diverted some of the money we raised from our fundraising to help children from St Joseph's School Kununurra go on camp to the Eastern States. St Joseph's is where Mrs Rudyard is teaching. Jen let us know that a little help would be very much appreciated and we obliged. Here you will find a lovely thank you card from one of the children who went on this amazing adventure!
