Swimming

Thanks to all staff, students and families for all their help in making our carnival a great day. Congratulations to the winning house, Patrick. Once again Mrs McCarthy organised a great day.

House Competition

Our House Competition has begun. Students can collect points through many challenges. I think this year’s competition will be a close one. Students who have their name on a Mercy value award can also be one of 5 students pulled out on Friday and win a voucher to spend at the canteen.

Staffing

Mrs McVey has been on long service leave in Term 1 and has now informed me that she will not be returning to Ss Peter and Paul’s . She has decided to retire and do relief teaching when it suits. We will organise an acknowledgement for Sue’s tremendous contribution to our school and teaching later in the term. I wish her all the best as she moves into the next stage of life.

Communication

We try our best to keep parents/carers informed about what is happening at school. Could I encourage parents to check out our app or the newsletter (link is on app or website) as the first place for information. We are happy to take your phone calls but with 170 families in the school the phone seems to ring constantly with queries that have been answered on the app or newsletter. This frees up the office staff to complete many of the other jobs they must attend too.

Facebook & School App

Our school Facebook page is called Ss Peter & Paul’s Primary School Goulburn.   

We also have a school app which is available to download from both Apple & Android app stores: search for SZapp and follow the instructions. You can also set notifications so you will not miss any important information.

Our financial APP is called QKR. You can pay fees, order uniform, order from the canteen if you sent up an account on this app

Our expectation for Uniforms is:

K-2 –sports uniform Wednesday only

Years 3 to 4- sports uniform Tuesday & Thursdays

Years 5 to 6 –sports uniform Thurs & Friday (Year 6 jerseys permitted these days)

Normal uniform to be worn all other days.

Any changes to this schedule parents will be notified.
