Dear Parents and Families,
Tonight we have our celebration of Confirmation and we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our candidates, their parents and teachers for their excellent preparation. We would also like to express our gratitude to Fr. Gerard for his support and assistance to the children and staff. A special mention to Fr Tony Kerin for celebrating this sacrament with us. We also need to thank Nina Grieve and the year 5/6 teachers for their diligence and great organisation.
Congratulations to the following Mum's who won the Mother’s Day raffle. Enjoy your prizes! A very big thank you to our wonderful Parents and Friends Association who organised this.
1st Prize- Shelley (Jacob in year 3/4)
2nd Prize- Jersy (Janessa in 3/4)
3rd Prize- Amelia (Samantha in Prep)
It was also wonderful to see the many mum's who came along to our Mother’s Day breakfast and shared some time with their children and caught up with other mum's. Many thanks to Andrew Luke from Jellis Craig for his generous sponsorship of coffee vouchers for our special women present, from Miss Peppercorn. We apparently broke their coffee machine with the amount of coffee served on Monday!
Last Friday a selection of students from years 4-6 participated in District Cross Country. The students had a wonderful time and showed such great persistence. Five of our students will go onto the next stage and we wish them all the very best. Hope the weather is kind! Thank you to Miceala Debney for her support and organisation.
Just a reminder to keep your children home if they are ill. You can record your child’s absence via Audiri (formerly known as Skoolbag app).
Look after yourselves and have a lovely weekend.
