Welcome to Week 9! On Friday, our Year 6 candidates, along with those from the parish, received the Sacrament of Confirmation. This was their final Sacrament of Initiation. The Very Reverend Father Vincent Glynn, Episcopal Vicar for Education and Faith Formation, celebrated the Mass for us and confirmed the candidates. Father Vincent spoke about being strengthened by the Spirit through Confirmation and being called to be witnesses. His message was an important one for all of us. Congratulations to all of the candidates who received this very special Sacrament!

School Climate Survey
Last week, an email was sent to all parents with important information about our School Climate Survey for 2023. Thank you to those who have completed the survey. The survey provides us with important information about the climate at our school and helps identify focus points to use when planning our school improvement efforts.
Reports
Next week, our mid-year reports will be sent out via SEQTA Engage. Firstly, please make sure you are able to access SEQTA Engage prior to the end of the term. You will have set up a username when the invitation was first sent and if you cannot remember your password, there is a 'Forgot Password' link. Please contact the office if you have any questions.
In our Week 5 Newsletter, some important information was provided about reports. Please make sure you have read the information prior to the reports coming out as some important changes and considerations were outlined.
Pickup Lane
Pickup lane had been running quite smoothly for a while, however, there have been some parents who have slipped into habits that pose significant safety risks to our students and community.
SENSE OF BELONGING
The St Paul's community spirit is built on a strong foundation of pastoral care. Our staff, parish and parent body are integral to our close-knit community, where each student, and their family, is known and nurtured. St Paul's P&F champions a diverse range of social, sporting and community events which connect families and friends and network St Paul's to the broader community in meaningful ways.
P&F Disco
A huge thank you goes to the team of parents headed up by Mrs Willcox who organised a fun session of dancing and games at our annual disco recently. The disco was really well attended and a lot of fun was had by all!
Building Project
Our building site was a hive of activity last week as the scaffolding was removed and the site cleared ready for the much-awaited steel delivery, which happened over the weekend. With the delays we have experienced so far, the revised forecast is that we should be in the first stage of the build by September and the second stage is then due for completion just before Christmas. Let's hope there are no further delays!
