HOLY ROSARY NEWSLETTER
Term 4 Week 7 Friday 26 November
FROM MARK
Dear Parents and Guardians,
It has been quite a week! Our Annual Community Meeting of the P&F and Parent Advisory Council went really well on Tuesday. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend. Reports, together with details of 2022 membership of both bodies is included in this newsletter. They play a central role in the life of Holy Rosary and we really appreciate the support. Thank you very much indeed.
Yesterday, our Kindy children met their Pre-Primary teachers for next year. That was such a lovely experience!
Today saw the children currently in Pre-Primary to Year 5 meet their Years 1-6 teachers for next year. An enjoyable time was had today with the activities this morning focused on building links between our children before the holidays and ensuring the children know who they are with and who will be their teacher. This is an important moment and we are deeply committed to an enjoyable experience, thereby setting the scene for them for 2022. A staffing update and a 2022 Staff List is also included in this newsletter.
And please check out the P & F Tuition Raffle later in this (rather large!) newsletter.
Best wishes
Mark de Kluyver
Principal
THANK YOU Adeline and Geoff PUZON
The fourth and youngest son of Adeline and Geoff Puzon, Ronan is in Year Six. So, this year sees the end of the association of the PUZON family with our school.

I’m sure our paths will cross again!
