"Do to others what you would have them do to you"

(Matthew 7:12)

Well done to both Mrs Grant and Mrs Jackson for this morning’s assembly item and congratulations to all Merit Award recipients. At the assembly we were also able to wish Father Phillip well with his new appointment and reminded him to return for a visit when he’s able.

I’d personally like to thank the PAF parents for the gift purchased for Mrs Silver in recognition for her work with the Performing Arts competition. As a teacher, it’s lovely to know that you are appreciated by both children and parents alike.

Once again, thank you Mrs Kermode and all the staff for the fantastic Book Week celebration yesterday. Everyone LOVES a good dress up! Please see the Special Events section for all photos from the day!

The Staff are completing their First Aid course tomorrow and Monday is the annual Catholic Leave Day for staff. Thank you all for your patience with our PD days each term: I know it’s annoying if you have to find babysitting - big shoutout to all the Grandparents who have been co-opted for these days!

Don’t forget our Father’s Day Liturgy and Breakfast on Tuesday, 1st September, at 7.45am. All Dad’s/Grandad’s/Uncles welcome.

"There is no such thing as a perfect parent, so just be a real one".

We greatly appreciate donations of second-hand uniforms to our Uniform Shop. To ensure these items can be reused by other families, please make sure all donated uniforms are clean and in good condition, with no holes and all zips and buttons in working order. Thank you for your support and generosity.

Wow, we are back on!!!! We raised a whopping $93.00 this week, thanks to a very generous donor who donated $50.00 and our prize went off again. Scarlett correctly guessed the 139 screws in the jar and scored herself a bag of lollypops!! This brings out total to $322.50 so far. Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Round 23 - Congratulations to Mitch O'Neill for the win this week. He takes home $50 thanks to Elders Merredin. 

Round 24 - And just like that we have come to the FINAL ROUND! And we are going out with a bang with $200 up for grabs for the winner this week thanks to the amazing generosity of Bartlett Mechanical. 

Overall leaderboard - We currently have Jason Walker on top followed by Chook Last and Carly McMartin. But it is still anyone's competition and with a few difficult games this week it will certainly make for an interesting finish! 

First game kicks off tonight at 5:30pm - Saints vs Suns 

Happy tipping!
