Welcome to Week 7!
First Holy Communion
The Sacraments are central to our spiritual journey, guiding us in faith and unity. Please keep our Year 4 students in your thoughts and prayers as they will be celebrating their Sacrament of First Holy Communion this Sunday at 10am at Christ the King Church. We sincerely thank our dedicated Year 4 teachers, Mrs Tilzey and Miss Lomma for preparing the students so well for this very special occasion. We also thank our staff for supporting these students and teachers at this time!
Sickness
As you are aware, there is a spike of various illnesses in the community as winter sets in and many sick children have been attending school. Please keep your children home if they are sick in order to reduce the spread of illness at school. Please also continue to remind your children to use safe hygiene routines such as regularly washing of hands.
It would be appreciated if parents could email or phone the school office before 9am, in order to notify staff of their child’s absence from school. Please do not wait for a message from the school. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
Report Time is Approaching!
The Mid-Year Reports for students will be available for parents on SEQTA Engage at the end of Term Two. Could you please check your login details NOW to ensure that you have access prior to the reports being released in Week 11.
New families from Year 1 to Year 6 and all Pre-Primary families have received a welcome email last week directing you to set up your account for SEQTA Engage. Both parents have been sent the email, however, if you are happy to operate just one login for both parents, you don’t need to set up the second one. If you have remembered your username but have forgotten your password, please click on the Forgot your password? link and an immediate email will be sent to you. The email will expire within one hour, so please action this immediately. If you can’t see the email in your Inbox, please check your Junk or Spam folders as sometimes these emails will appear there as they are sent in bulk. Please contact admin@ctk.wa.edu.au if you have any concerns.
Leave of Absence Letter Reminder
As per the School Education Act 1999 “students are expected to attend school each day that it is open for instruction”. Any absence during these years may have a significant impact on student achievement. Where advanced notice of any extended absence, (four days or longer), the “Leave of Absence Form” is to be submitted. The form should be completed and submitted to the Principal at least one month prior to departure date (we acknowledge at times there may be extenuating circumstances). Please access the Extended Leave Form from the front office.
