ONE BIG YEAR ONE BIG CONCERT ONE BIG COMMUNITY
The end-of-year concert was a fantastic finish to our big Holy Rosary year!
The families of Holy Rosary extend a very big thank to our teachers, Mr D, the leadership team and the admin team for a terrific 2019. The children have had an action-packed year with learning, playing, friendships, sacraments, sport, art, music, dance, technology and more! We thank our teachers for their commitment and passion towards helping our children become the best they can be.
We are blessed at Holy Rosary to have a community that is very connected to the school. On any given day, we have parents helping in class, the canteen, arranging social events, fundraising, running sporting clubs, building playgrounds and enjoying the friendship and support one finds in an inclusive community.
We thank the Class Reps, Canteen volunteers, HR Business Community, HRC Committee, the Board and the Parish for their contribution to one big year and one big community.
Please keep supporting our school’s events and fundraisers!

PASTORAL CARE AND STUDENT WELL-BEING NEWS
This year, both year 2 classes participated in Aussie Optimism’s “Feelings and Friends”, a program developed by Curtin University’s School of Psychology. Nominated year 4 and 5 students participated in Seasons for Growth and all of our year 6 students were involved in Council Groups. What a fantastic year of learning about ourselves and how amazing we are at regulating our feelings, being a good friend and the importance of contributing to our communities. Thank you to all students for your enthusiasm and staff and parents for your support of these important programs.
Have a beautiful Christmas and best wishes for 2020.
