Dear Families,

Welcome back to Lumen Christi after the summer break and welcome to our new families – we have a number of new families in our Foundation class as well as other children who have joined our school community in other classes. As school staff, we spend time in the school preparing for the arrival of our children at the beginning of every school year, but the school really doesn’t come alive until there are children in it. That is what we are all here for and it has been lovely to see all of their smiling faces walking through the gates in the morning.

I’d like to welcome our new staff too.

Mrs Louise Clarke has joined us. She will be teaching two days a week (Monday and Tuesday) in Grade 1/2 and will also transition into the role of Senior Leader once Miss Kristie Smith takes her parental leave.

Mrs Regina Sullivan will teach in Grade 1/2 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Mrs Kerry Adams will be establishing the role of Mental Health in Primary Sschools leader as well as teaching in Grade 3/4 on Thursday and Friday.

Mrs Courtney Smythe will teach Art on Thursdays.

Mrs Jodie Wilson has joined us as a full time LSO in Grade 5/6.

Mrs Krystelle Campbell is new in the office and will be working in Administration and Compliance on Monday and Tuesday.

The beginning of the new school year is such as exciting time and I want to congratulate all of our children who have settled into school with their new teachers so well.

A few reminders:

• We need hats at school
• Correct Uniform of Correct Days: P.E is now Monday and Friday
• Reading Logs will be checked every day. Let’s get our children reading consistently in every class.

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful start to 2025.

We will be celebrating our beginning of year mass next Thursday at 9:30 in the church. Please come along and enjoy this celebration with us.

Have a wonderful week ahead,

Sally
