From the Principal

Dear Ss Peter and Paul's Families, 

I hope that you have all had an opportunity to enjoy some of this warmer weather, albeit in the middle of Winter. 

Welcome back to Term 3! On Monday, all staff from the Northern Region schools were involved in faith formation and professional development, as we participated in a one day session with Dr Caroline Thompson. Staff were encouraged to analyse the world we live in, view it through the lens of our most vulnerable people and finally, how to use Pope Francis' latest encyclical Fratelli Tutti to promote kindness in our world. Staff and teachers were given the challenge to create a culture of kindness in our school, so you may like to ask your child/ren where they saw kindness in their world today. 

A reminder that Kathy Neely is on Long Service Leave for the first three weeks of this term and the following staff will fill the positions listed below:

  • Mr Bradley Brown - Acting Principal
  • Mrs Cassandra Harris - Acting Assistant Principal and Religious Education Coordinator

We wish Kathy a wonderful break enjoying the warmer weather in Queensland and having a well earned rest. We also look forward to welcoming Kathy back on Monday of Week Four.

PRAYERS

We pray for the young people of our parish that are currently preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is a significant event for them and their journey of faith. 

Lord, You send out Your Spirit to touch the hearts of all people, so that they may believe in You and in Jesus whom You sent. Look kindly on all the young people preparing for Confirmation as they listen to Your voice. Open their hearts to Your Spirit and bring to fulfilment the good work that You have begun in them.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS 

  • School supervision does not begin till 8.30am and students should not be on the grounds before this time. School supervision finishes at 3.45pm in carline and your child/ren should be collected by then. The teacher on bus duty stays until the last bus arrives.
  • Please be on time to school. Classes commence at 9.20am. Late arrivals are very disruptive to children's learning. When they are late children lose valuable learning time.
  • Please the use Compass app in a timely manner if your child is absent from school.
  • PLEASE label your child's clothing. Our lost property tub is constantly filled with unlabelled clothing.
  • Please use your family name sign when collecting your child/ren from Car Lines. If you would like one, or you have misplaced your copy, please let the office know and will send a new one home. 

Mr Brad Brown

Acting Principal
