Dear Parents/Carers,

As we approach the final fortnight of Term 3, there’s a real sense of energy and anticipation around the school. With just two weeks to go until the holidays, students and staff alike are working hard to finish the term strong — while also looking forward to a well-earned break. It’s been a busy and rewarding term filled with learning, growth, and community spirit. From classroom successes to sporting achievements, there’s much to celebrate.  

Many thanks to Anderson Blampied, Abbie Blampied, Zoe Otaegui, Alicia Otaegui, Jemima Hutchins, Tully Hutchins, and Ridley Hutchins who generously assisted with various ministries during the parish Mass on Sunday. It was truly heartwarming to see our students so actively involved in this special occasion. Their presence and participation were deeply appreciated by the parish community, with many parishioners and Father Hilary expressing how touched they were by the students’ contributions.

On Tuesday last week, I had the privilege of joining local St Mary’s Parish volunteers for very important training focused on Safeguarding. Safeguarding refers to the actions taken to promote the welfare of children and vulnerable people, and to protect them from harm. The training provided valuable insights into how we can all contribute to creating safe, respectful, and supportive environments — both within our parish and across our broader school community. It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on our shared responsibility and commitment to the wellbeing of the young and vulnerable.

As we get closer to the end of term, it’s a timely reminder to ensure that students are dressed appropriately for school each day. This includes wearing the correct socks, shoes, and jumper as part of our uniform policy.

We appreciate your continued support in helping maintain our school’s standards and sense of pride. Thank you!

Remember my door is always open.

Principal
