Dear Parents and Guardians,

Next week is our final week for the term, and for the year - hard to believe that it is here already!

Congratulations to our Pre-Kindy children who amazed us at their concert this morning! It was just a joy to see them in remarkable form. They are to be congratulated, as are their teachers Jen and Iveta, who have run a fantastic, fantastic programme this year. Pre-Kindy for next year filled up by September this year, and it is no surprise as to why. Well done, and thank you both!

Congratulations also to all of our children from Kindy to Year Six on your fabulous performances in Wednesday's Buddy Concert. It was a joy to behold. Thank you Michelle Kirwan for preparing the children for this concert during such a busy time.

Our Great Graduating classes graduate on Monday night. This is really a special and beautiful evening.

Tuesday night’s concert on the oval is shaping up to be great fun! With plenty of room, there is space for extended families. All welcome!

Wednesday sees our students celebrate their year with a diverse range of excursions, which I know are eagerly anticipated! We wish them an enjoyable and rewarding time.

And on Friday morning we complete the circle by giving thanks at our school mass. I know that there has been plenty to be involved in this term, but, as the core of our reason for being, it would be great to see a great contingent of parents and guardians to join us for this. We’d love to see you there!

Have a great weekend

These children are now able to get off the ground and have dignity as well as mobility. We thank you for being a caring and compassionate school community.

Massive shout out to all our individual donators this past week who joined us in making a difference in the journey of children entering out of home care and to make Christmas that little bit brighter.

* Susan Harvey from Holy Rosary School in Doubleview dropped off at Stirling Childcare Centre Donation from all the staff: 23 stockings, 2 bags of chocolate, 2 vouchers, 4 bubble wands, $20 cash

Thank you to everyone who has returned or replaced their library books. If you have outstanding books, please contact me before the students go on break to arrange replacement.

There are times when I accept donations for the library, mainly in term 1 in time for our Project Compassion second hand book sale. Please always make contact with me before dropping books to the library and I ask that they are not left unattended outside the library. Thanks for your support.

It’s been a big week of celebrations. We had a thank you morning tea for our senior chess umpires, our last Seasons for Growth group celebrated their graduation and we had a fabulous Christmas party with the 2021 Library Monitors. As the end of year celebrations continue and life is super busy, we are reminded to be kind each day to others and ourselves.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Butson
