PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Dear Parents, Thank you for all of your support and encouragement with the children at the Athletics carnival. We were blessed with the weather and everyone had a great day. Special mention to our winning team Taylor, who came from behind late in the day to take a resounding win. Congratulations also to Lee who won the field events and received the Spirit Award for the best organised team. To Miss Wise and all of her helpers, well done and thank you. Special thanks to Mrs Biundo and her team of helpers who organised the sausage sizzles and also Mr Brendon Maine who helped out with the set up, and pack up on the day.

Final Scores were: Taylor 1474 Hewitt 1332 Lee 1327 Henley 1323

We have had a number of visitors over the last two weeks, who have wanted to see our contemporary classrooms in action. We had visitors from St Benedict’s School Board and P&F last Friday, a teacher from St Thomas’s Margaret River last Wednesday. We also have visitors from Geraldton and Bassendean coming next Tuesday. On Sunday at the Family mass we have a number of children receiving the Eucharist for the first time. We hope and pray that they enjoy and remember this special day. Thanks to all of the teachers who have had a part in the preparation of these children over the last 6 years at school.

Some of this content was also used recently at the Catholic Schools Curriculum Conference which was attended by over 1000 teachers from across the state. Chris Dunning – Principal
