It has been a wonderful start to Term Two! We have a very busy and fun term ahead! As we continue through the term, let us remain committed to fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for all members of our school community.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
We wish our Year 3 students who are celebrating their Sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturday 4 May, all the very best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, as you embark on a new part of your sacramental journey. We thank Mrs Gumina and Miss Letizia, for their support and guidance with the Year 3 students.
Illness
This a gentle reminder to please keep your child home if they are unwell. This in turn has an impact on the other students as well as the staff. While it can be hard to know whether to keep your child at home when they are not feeling well, there are some signs to look out for. Keep your child home if they have:
- fever (a temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius)
- nausea with vomiting
- diarrhoea
- sore eyes with pus or mucus
- sore throat
- bad cough
- rash or skin sores, especially on the face, hands and feet
If your child is feeling generally unwell and has a runny nose, low energy levels or little appetite, you may want to keep a closer watch. Assess their health for a few hours before deciding whether they should stay home for the day. It is very important to keep children home when they are sick to minimise the risk of spreading illnesses to other children, staff members and their families. In particular, viruses spread quickly when there is close contact and cause many of the diseases that are common among young children, especially when a child is coughing, sneezing or has a runny nose. Your consideration of this matter is greatly appreciated.
Parking
Student safety in their transition to and from school is of utmost importance. To ensure safe and efficient traffic flow surrounding our school, please ensure that you are following the before and after school procedures. To reduce traffic congestion, we need your support to ensure our school is a safe and efficient place for student drop-off and collection. We ask for your cooperation to help alleviate traffic congestion by being mindful of others and ensuring that our children are safe at all times.
Only parents and families who have a child in Pre-Kindy, Kindy and or Pre-Primary can park and use the ECE Car Park. This is NOT a drive through so please make sure you respect this space as child safety is a priority for all concerned. All other families who have a child in Years 1-6 will need to use the Loop Car Park for drop off and pick up.
Students in Pre-Primary – Year 6 are dismissed from class at 3:00pm. Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students will be dismissed from class at 2.45pm. Please be prompt and ensure you clearly communicate with your child how they will be getting home each day and from where they will be collected.

One Big Voice – Save the Date!!!
Our school choir has been selected to participate in the One Big Voice Festival at RAC Arena on Thursday, August 22, 2024, commencing at 6.15 p.m.
One Big Voice is a choral festival that promotes a love of singing, friendship, and acceptance and develops relationships with other children who share a love of music.
This year over 3000 students from 80 schools will be involved in the One Big Voice Festival and will sing a selection of inspirational and fun songs.
We will be continuing our preparation of the 10 songs over the next term on Friday mornings at Choir at 8:10am. Please try to drop your child off by then to the music room.
If your child is not in the choir and you think this would be a good activity for them, we still have 10 places available. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you.
