HOLY ROSARY NEWSLETTER
Term 4 Week 2 - 19 October
FROM MARK:
Dear Parents and Guardians
Michelle Blythman, Kathy Tanham, Steph Tranter and their gang are to be congratulated on today’s assembly. They were in excellent form as always! It was also good to celebrate the successes of our Chess Champions as well as those singled out for exceptional performances at this Years Catholic Schools Performing Arts festival. Our Year Three students were not at assembly today, as they were at their Reconciliation retreat. The sacrament of reconciliation asks a lot of children in terms of understanding, and having the time, and the input from others to wonder about it and how it fits in to their lives, really makes the retreat something special.
This has been a major sports week this week, with before school training for the interschool athletics team, as well as the Hale triathlon in which many of our children have been involved. Our thanks to Rob Flexman who makes these opportunities available to our children. We are blessed! Thanks also to assistants Sylvia Ryan and Julie Catherall who have assisted Rob with the triathlon.
The many and varied academic, artistic and athletic opportunities made readily available to our children are embraced by them. Well done to all concerned!
I would like to draw your attention to an invitation in this newsletter from our School Board Chair, Jonathon Woolfrey to participate in the development of a Strategic Plan for our school. The Holy Rosary Community meeting at 7pm on Tuesday 23rd October in the Staff Room will give everyone the opportunity to contribute to the strategic plan in person. Everyone welcome. The final Strategic Plan will be presented to the School community at the Annual Community Meeting on Tuesday 20th November. Pencil this date in your diary.
To everyone going to retro bingo on Saturday – YAHOO!! Have a great time. Our HRC have invested a lot of energy in making this happen. Thank you for your support.
Have a great weekend!
Mark de Kluyver
Principal

Why do we fundraise? Why do we have working bees?
To create opportunities for our children.
Projects such as the Pre-Primarily playground wouldn’t happen without the support of our parent community, whether you attend events or give with your skills - as did the awesome team of parents today. All aboard the fire-engine red boat!
Please keep supporting our school’s events and fundraisers!
