Parent Teacher Interviews
As parents were made aware last week, teachers will be available for Parent Interviews on Wednesday 5 April. Our Year 1-6 teachers will be available from 11.45am in 15 minute time slots. Our Kindy and PP teachers will have 20 minute slots available for parents. Our Bookings page is now live. Teachers have sent out a link through SeeSaw for you to access.
Parents will need to select the date (5 April), the teacher and the timeslot to make the booking. Once the booking is made, a confirmation email which provides a TEAMS video link will be sent. If you would like to arrange a TEAMS meeting instead of a face-face, you will need that link to make the call on the day. To assist class teachers in preparing to take TEAMS calls, please let them know beforehand that your appointment will be a TEAMS call. Otherwise, the confirmation email will be your face-face interview.
When making your booking PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR SURNAME so the teacher can identify which student the meeting is for.
Please note that you will not need to sign in at the office when attending the interview with the teacher. The following venues will be used by teachers for the meetings:
Kindy – Year 2
8.00am – 3.20pm: In the Library
From 3.30pm In the classroom
Year 3 - Year 6
8.00am – 3.20pm: In the Hall
From 3.30pm In the classroom
Easter Raffle and Hat Parade
On Wednesday 5th April the P&F have organised an Easter Hat Parade.
We are asking the students in each class from Kindy to Year 6 come up with a creative Easter Hat design to wear to the parade. There will be prizes on offer so you better start getting creative to impress the judges.
Stations of the Cross
This year we will be holding our Stations of the Cross prayer reflection on Thursday 6th April at 9am. Each class will be involved in preparing two stations and it will be held outside in the school grounds.
The Stations of the Cross is a powerful way to contemplate, and enter into, the mystery of Jesus' gift of himself to us. Parents/Carers are welcome to join us for this reflection.

P&F Update
Welcome to the latest P&F update. We have some exciting activities and events coming up, and we don't want you to miss out. Here's a rundown of what's happening.
Footy Tipping
What an exciting first round, starting with a draw between Richmond and Carlton, giving everyone 1 point. Unfortunately, our West Australian teams didn't fare too well, but let's hope they bounce back this week.
Congratulations to Marg Pearce for winning the first round of the Queenies P&F Footy Tipping Competition. Please see Reception/Front Office to collect your Rustico Voucher and certificate.
