PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Keep us alert, we pray, O Lord our God, as we await the advent of Christ your Son, so that, when he comes and knocks, he may find us watchful in prayer and exultant in his praise. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Dear Parents
This week, after a number of COVID interrupted years, we were able to take Years 5 and 6 away on Camp. I want to thank Mr Mindzas, Mrs Greenwood, Miss Doro and Mr Hoctor for all their organisation and supervision whilst on camp with Year 5 and 6 this week. Taking students to camp means these teachers essentially work 55 hours straight - a huge commitment away from their own families. Teachers don’t get paid overtime or given time in lieu, they simply do it for our students. I am sure the school community joins me in thanking them for their generosity in making this time so memorable for our students.
Photos from the camp can be found here. We will continue to add to this album over the coming days:

Christmas Earring and Hats
As part of our Advent journey towards Christmas I’m sure some children will want to wear Christmas earrings and possibly Santa hats. These are permitted providing they are minimal and do not create any safety concerns (e.g. necklaces that can get caught). Whilst playing on the playground, students will still need to wear their school hat to ensure proper sun protection.
End of Term Assembly
The following students will receive a Principal, Shamrock or St Patrick’s Award at our End of Term Assembly on Friday 16 December at 11am. If you think your child is eligible for one of these awards and their name is not listed below, please contact the school by Friday 9 December.

School Shoes
The Christmas school holidays is often a time for replacing school shoes. Please be mindful that school shoes must be completely black leather, or leather look shoes. They can be lace ups, buckles or velcro. Sports joggers must be predominately white with white laces. They can also have velcro. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to seek clarification through the office.
