Yesterday, we had our first school parish Mass for the year and it was fantastic to see so many of our school community there. Our Year 5 and 6 students took on various ministries during the Mass and there was a delicious morning tea in the Barbier Hall after Mass! Thanks to everyone who attended, particularly those who generously organised and put on the morning tea for everyone. What a great way for our Catholic community to come together!
Our next school parish Mass is on Sunday 2 April (Palm Sunday) at 9:00am so please put it in your diary and make every effort to come along. Our Year 3 and 4 classes will be helping with this Mass.
Last week, our Year 6 students went away on camp to Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp. It was such a pleasure to spend a few days with our amazing Year 6s. Camp is an important opportunity for our students to challenge themselves, develop their ability to work as a team and spend some time bonding with each other outside of the normal classroom and school routine. Being a small school, the opportunity to build relationships and develop that special bond as a group is even more evident.
St Paul's Swimming Carnival
On Friday this week (17/3), we have the St Paul's Swimming Carnival for Years 3-6, which will be held at Beatty Park. This is a big event for our school and something we look forward to each year. We encourage any parents who are able to attend to come along and cheer for their House! The carnival begins at 10:00am.
Student safety is our first priority and this means that it is important that we do not have people coming in and out of the student bays. Parents, please ensure you stay in the designated parent area and do not come over to the student bays or the finish line area where places will be judged. As noted in the letter sent to parents, students need to bring their own lunch in their bag as we cannot have people coming in and out of the student bays. Thank you in advance for your support with this.
At the end of the carnival, if you intend to take your child/ren home with you, it is important that you sign them out with their teacher so we can be sure all students are safe and accounted for.
It looks like the weather will be perfect and we look forward to a great day!
Building Project
The building project is underway and we have now created a section on our website to keep our community informed about what is happening and the progress we are seeing. You can access this section in the Parent Hub or at this link.
Uniform Free Day
One of our very own students, Sonja from Year 5, has been working with Radio Lollipop to raise money and appeared on their poster! Our community will be helping raise money for this cause through a uniform free day tomorrow (Tuesday). So bring along a gold coin donation and support Sonja in the work she has been doing with Radio Lollipop!
Enrolments
Please help to get the word out there that we are now collating enrolments for next year.
