St Bernadette's School Newsletter
1st December 2021
The end of the school year
The end of the year is fast approaching and next week will be our last newsletter for the year.
Because we are in Alert level 2 we have had to re think our usual end of year traditions. All of the fun stuff on the list of dates below is replacing our usual picnic. These fun events will happen in school time and with only students and staff attending. We are sorry that we cannot invite our school families and friends to join us at this time.
Our most special event of the year is usually our End of year Mass. This year we will be having a graduation just for the Year 8 students and their invited guest only. Then the Year 8 students are going out for dinner.
Alert levels and traffic lights!
Heading into next year it would be good to be thinking about whether you are vaccinated and how involved you want to be in your child's school. From now on all adults working and helping at school or on school trips or camps or any school time events, must be vaccinated. We will need to sight your vaccine pass to register you to help at school. This helps keep your children safe and I know you will be reassured that they are surround by vaccinated adults.
If you are able to help with junior swimming next week we would love you to show your vaccine pass to Annette or Paula and Jo so they can note it and count you as a helper.
33 Years of Service!

Attendance dues
Please do not let attendance dues be a stress for you and your family. Regular payments are the best way to go but if at anytime you are worried about attendance dues - please come and see me. I can help.
