Welcome to the 2020 School Year, and a very special welcome to our new students, families and staff.

Over the summer break we joyfully welcomed our new baby to our school community, a beautiful new baby girl for Kylie & Dale Yeates named Harlow Adelaide.  We wait patiently for her first visit to Lumen Christi.  Congratulations Mrs.Yeates.

This year we welcome some additional staff, Mrs.Christine Ruiter, Mrs.Heather Moir and Mrs.Tania Wookey. We are sure they would be happy for parents to approach them to introduce themselves.  Our School Staff lisiting is available in this newsletters as well as on our new website.  

Over the summer break we began the transition to our new website.  Schoolzine will be our new partner, providing one system that combines our website, school app, newsletter, absentee forms, permission forms and online bookings.  We welcome any feedback and look forward to trialing many of the different features during the year. A significant change will be that the newsletter will appear primarily online on the website, with families subscribing to an alert that a newsletter has been published.  Both the school and you at home will have the option of printing the newsletter if required.  It has been suggested that we move to a fortnightly newsletter with the website features serving as a key communication tool, we will be reviewing this later in the term.

As always, my door is always open to meet with families if you have questions, concerns or suggestions to improve our great school.  Our collective focus is to offer our students a high quality, comprehensive, Catholic education and I’m sure you agree with my belief that this can only be achieved by building upon the relationships between students, families, staff and school leadership.

I’m very much looking forward to sharing the year with you all.  Wishing you and your family a terrific year.
