This Friday (15 February), we will host our first Parents & Friends meeting, to coincide with the first Coffee Connect morning. All families are very welcome to engage with our Parents & Friends group. It is a fantastic way to become involved in your child’s school community, and to have a say in how our community develops over time! In the evening, I strongly encourage all families to come along to our WELCOME Gathering. The first hour allows for open classrooms. This will be a great opportunity to both witness first-hand, some of the children’s learning, have a chat with their teacher and then enjoy some time catching-up with old and new friends, with our Picnic on the Green. For details of this and other school events, have a look at the SZapp calendar.
At the beginning of every school year, our community welcomes many new faces! This year, we welcome:
| James Anderson | Sophie Meys |
| Rose Burvill | Emese Mihaly |
| Emily Cooke | Hannah Milne |
| Lily Cooke | Sienna Mueller |

Thank you for downloading SZapp. It will be the primary source of information regarding our school community as we seek to deliver our families with more proactive, streamlined communication in 2019. (The Seesaw app remains the conduit between classroom and home.) SZapp has replaced Skoolbag as it has improved functionality to allow us to provide a more "one-stop-shop" platform. To ensure you receive up-to-date information, check that your Notifications are turned on (refer to the link below if you're unsure).

Happy 2019 to our beautiful school community! It was so lovely to celebrate the Beginning of the Year Mass on Friday 8th February morning. I must say, I just love standing at the microphone, looking over our students and staff- all gathered together in our Church. It is such an honour to work in the Catholic system where these occasions are among the highlights of the year. I, along with all the school staff, take great pride in bringing our community together for masses and liturgies: meaningful encounters with God.
Well done to the Year 4/5 Class (Mrs Wicks and Mrs Pike) for running the mass so smoothly and a big thank you to Fr Michael who, as always, did an amazing job in connecting with all of those present and bringing the celebration to life.
Congratulations again to the school leaders who received their badges. They all have big jobs that we are confident they will carry out with excellence.
“But a few seeds did fall on good ground where the plants grew and produced thirty or sixty or even a hundred times as much as was scattered.
Then Jesus said, ‘If you have ears, listen!’.”

You can also use the app to pay for OSHC as well as second-hand uniform, Playgroup and other school payments.
