Dear Parents

We were truly blessed yesterday as the rain stopped during the day and we were able to proceed with our planned activities. A big thank you to Father Mark for celebrating Mass and to Mrs Neilson and our school choir who provided the music.

The day followed with green treats being sold by Year 6 – nothing was left. Great cooking Yr 6 and their parents , thank you!

Photos with Paddy were then taken for a dollar at lunch time and a guessing the number of lollies in a jar .

Money form both fundraisers will go towards the Yr 6 graduation.

Our day was complete with a round of 15 minute activities for all classes.

A great day to celebrate our Patron Saint.

Cross Country

Our planned Cross Country has been postponed to Friday 26^th March due to the weather. Same regulations will apply next week.

Parent /Student Conferences

Thank you to all the parents, students and teachers who have been involved so far in our conferences. Can I ask once again that only one parent and the student involved attends. Unfortunately there have been days were both parents have attended and therefore this is unfair to those who have respected our request at this time.

P &F AGM

I wish to acknowledge the ongoing dedication and support of the outgoing P&F executive for the 2020 school year. I also wish to thank all the parents who attended the meetings remotely as well as face to face last year.

A decision was made last night that we will only have one meeting a term (unless there is a need for a special one ). I urge you if possible to attend the next meeting which will be on 27^th April in the school library at 6.30pm.

Congratulations to our 2021 P & F executive:

President - Kelly Pucillo

Vice President - Victoria Harb

Secretary - Marianne Spinelli

Treasurer -Tanya Fonoti

Fundraising Co-ordinator  - Danielle Lukarovski

Canteen co-ordinator - Alisa Stojanovski

Social Media Webinars for Parents

The Council of Catholic School Parents (NSW/ACT) has joined with the eSafety Commissioner to present two free webinars for parents and carers in late March 2021.

The webinars are:

• Helping kids thrive online (for parents/carers of 5-12 year olds)
• Tech, teens and time online (for parents/carers of 12-18 year olds).

Both are free but registration is required.

Provided are two flyers to use to promote these webinars in your parent/carer community via the school newsletter and any school social media platforms.

For newsletters - link to the pdf version so that the relevant hyperlinks remain active. For social media - use the jpg version as the graphic/visual and include the relevant links in the text of the post so that people can link to the registration page.
