PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Parents

Thank you for another wonderful term together - how it has flown!

Last week we completed our School Cyclic Inquiry.  This was quite an involved process that will help shape the future priorities for our school.  We will share more information about this with you next term, but I wanted to thank all the parents who completed the Tell Them from Me survey, and especially to those parents who were able to form the parent panel on the day.

Term 3

Please see attached the term overview for Term 3.  We hope you find these dates useful when managing your calendars and work commitments. 

Please be mindful, the first day of Term 3 for students is Tuesday 18 July.  Monday 17 July is a pupil free day.

Grandparents Day

Next term we will host our Grandparents Day!  As part of our celebrations we are inviting you to send in a photo of your child(ren) with their grandparents.  These must be received by Friday 21 July.  Unfortunately, photos received after this date can not be included.  Please email photos to info@sppkdow.catholic.edu.au 

We are also asking students in Years 3 and 4 to bring in a plate of food that will be shared with all grandparents on the day.

We hope to be able to have the Canteen open on the day, so that if grandparents want to spoil their grandchildren with treats on the day, they will be able to do so.
