Dear Families,

What a week we had last week! It was a very busy week at school with Grade 5/6 on camp, Ash Wednesday and our Athletics Day – all which were very successful events.

I would like to thank our staff for always putting in 110% and making sure that everything runs smoothly and that our children get the best out of everything that happens at school.

Athletics Day in particular can’t run without people to help – so thank you to any parent who stepped up to help on the day, to Tania Wookey for helping to mark the lines and move the High Jump mattress and to Jo Cardillo for organising the donation of a brand new barbeque for the school.

A HUGE thank you to our P&F team who did a brilliant job organising a sausage sizzle on the day which I know all of the children enjoyed. We are very lucky to have such a dedicated group of parents who are so generous with their time.

This week, we begin NAPLAN for years 3 and 5 students. We ask that all children attend on the day and take part as best they can in the assessments. This gives us important school data to learn from and highlight areas of the curriculum where we can improve.

We have a number of Grade 4 students who are preparing for First Eucharist at the moment. Next week, we will hold our Eucharist night which is for ALL students in Year 4 to attend. We usually order pizza and share a meal together to bring the Sacrament to life for the children whether they are making their Eucharist or not. It would be wonderful if all children in Year 4 were able to attend on Wednesday at 5:30.

Have a wonderful week ahead,

Sally
