Dear Parents and Carers,

I would like to thank our parent community, our students and our staff for adapting to the dynamic nature of 2020 and welcome everybody back for Term 4.

We have had an exciting start to the term with our new classrooms cleared for usage and we waved good-bye to classrooms in the hall. The new space is a wonderful learning environment and the décor and windows present a calm and crisp feel. The new laser projectors and iPad Pro bring the digital world into our rooms and our teachers are exploring ways to use this technology to enhance the learning experience for our students.

This term is historically a very busy and while there will be some adjustments, most of the usual Term 4 events will take place. Some events to look forward to are; school photos, St Mary’s School Feast Day, book week dress-up & parade, Year 5/6 day excursion, intensive swimming program, end of year performances & yearly awards, and Year 6 graduation mass and dinner.

I would like to emphasise the importance of contacting the school if you have any concerns at all. For classroom queries, it is always best to make contact with your child’s teacher through the office. For general school issues my door is always open and I welcome constructive feedback to ensure we are providing the best possible service for our students.

I am looking forward to the exciting term that lies ahead.

Regards

Phil Nielsen
