Dear Families
EduDance Concert
Well done to all our PP to Yr 6 students who performed so well at the two EduDance concerts this afternoon. Thank you to Tracey Voysey from EduDance who has worked so hard with the students for the last 8 weeks.
Graduation
Our Graduation celebration will be held on Tuesday of Week 9, 6th December. We look forward to praying with our students and to remembering and celebrating their wonderful St Emilie's journey. There are no restrictions on family members who can attend these celebrations. We will begin with a Mass at 5pm in the Church followed by a light supper and assembly with presentations. We ask that families please park in the school car park as there is another Parish Mass immediately after the Graduation Mass. Many thanks to those choir members who are joining us and generously sharing their gifts on the night.
Reports
Student reports via SEQTA will be ready for viewing in Week 9. Please remember that the formal report is just one small part of a much bigger picture and that parents play a very key role in communicating respectfully and encouragingly to your child.
If your child is not returning to St Emilie’s in 2023, you will need to access SEQTA Engage and your child/ren’s Reports this year. Once 2023 begins your access to the St Emilie’s SEQTA Engage will be revoked by the system. Please ensure that if you would like a copy of any Reports, you download and save them, before the end of this year.
Staff for 2023
The Staff List for 2023 is published below. Class Lists will then go home in Week 10. Please note that class requests for 2023 closed on Friday 28th October.
Band and Choir
Thank you to Mr Dabbs and the Band and Choir who performed for the PP to Year 6 students on Monday afternoon. It was great to hear the music and songs that they have practised throughout the year.
Thanksgiving Mass/Farewell Morning Tea
At 9am on Friday the 9th December, we will have our Whole School Thanksgiving Mass to celebrate the wonderful year we have had in 2022. After the whole school Mass there will be a community morning tea to farewell staff leaving St Emilie's at the end of 2022. We ask that each family that would like to attend to please bring a plate to share.
