From the Principal
End of Year Communication
Please watch Compass for notes about upcoming events. The last 3 weeks of term are always very busy.
Staffing Changes in 2024
We have minimal staff changes in 2024. Mrs Yeo & Mrs Brown will be on maternity leave, and Mrs Hunt has extended her family leave for another 12 months. Mrs Delaney will move from a part time role to full time on staff in 2024. There will also be some movement internally amongst staff which I will explain towards the end of term. Our Youth Minister Gerard is also moving on and we thank him for the great platform he has built to help us create our own Youth Ministry. Thanks also to Grace Cummins who has done a wonderful job as a classroom assistant. We wish her well as she completes her teacher training course.
Miss Kate Jackson will be joining both our staff & St Joseph’s as a relief teacher shared between the schools. We are very grateful to Catholic Education office let us have this extra position as a response to the staffing shortages we are dealing with.
Application for reduction of fees
Parents experiencing significant financial difficulties may apply for school fees assistance. In line with the Catholic Education Office Canberra and Goulburn Archdiocese Fees Policy, no student will be refused enrolment, be excluded, or be disadvantaged because of an inability (as opposed to an unwillingness) on the part of the parents/guardians to meet financial requirements.
Any reductions granted generally apply on a year-by-year basis, i.e., a separate application is required each year.
Based on the information provided in this form I will determine an appropriate level of fee support based upon guidelines agreed to by the Catholic Education Office Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn and Ss Peter and Paul’s and with consistency and in confidence.
If you would like to apply for a reduction in fees, please contact the office for a form.
