I hope everyone enjoys their extra long, long weekend. Staff have appreciated the opportunity to catch up on some Professional Development and Assessment work they needed to do and are grateful for parent support to help them do this.

Belated thanks to the Smith family who organised for the scrap metal to be taken away at the back of the school. Still looking for help to fix up our garbage area if anyone has any thoughts.

SCHOOL EVENTS

It has been really terrific to have parents and carers back in school helping with events. Last Friday we had a good band of helpers for the athletic field events and to give out the pizza lunch. At the moment the weather is playing havoc for planning of outdoor events especially sporting events and we appreciate people’s flexibility with last minute changes of plans.

Coming up we have our School Disco on Friday 24 June 6-7.30pm, as well as our St Peter and Paul’s Feast Day Mass & activities on Friday 1 July (more information to be posted soon). Feel free to come along and help or just watch these events. The students always have a lot of fun.

REPORTS

Reports go home at the end of the term. You will be able to access them via Compass and we will send home instructions about how to do this. If you have any questions after you read the reports feel free to talk to your child’s teacher early in Term 3. We do not organise a formal interview time however staff are more than happy to catch up in person, by phone or by email. If you ever ask staff to contact you and you haven’t received a reply after 48 hours please let us know so we can chase up.

GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL IS IMPORTANT TO US. We need you to let us know if there is an issue so we can keep on top of this area.

HOLY COMMUNION

Next weekend students from Year 4 are making their First Holy Communion. This an important milestone in our Catholic traditions. Our prayers go with these children in our parish.

I hope you all have a great weekend and we get a little break from the rain.
