From the Principal

Dear Parents & Carers,

Welcome back! Term 3 is well underway and students have returned to their normal weekday routine with ease. 

Staffing

This term, we welcome Samantha Park and Bailey Robinson to our staff. Samantha and Bailey will support our secondary classes. I have advertised for a school cleaner as well. 

Principal

Last term, the announcement of my replacement was made. Mrs Louise Grant will lead the school from 2025 onwards. Mrs Grant will visit the school at the end of this term and again in term 4. 

Uniform

Thank you for your support with our uniform. Students have returned looking very smart. A reminder that our new tracksuit pants are available and that these need to be worn, or the old version. There is a two year change over period for the old tracksuit pants to be phased out. Plain navy tracksuit pants are no longer an option for students to wear at school. 

Community Council Meeting

Our next CC meeting is on in Week 3, Tuesday 6th August at 7pm. Our meetings are held every Week 3 & 7 each term. 

Feast Day St Anne & Joachim

On July 26, the Feast Day of St. Anne and St. Joachim, we honor the lives of Mary’s parents, the earthly grandparents of Jesus. As existing information about Saints Anne​ and Joachim comes from the Gospel of James and Catholic legend, ​there is debate over the details of their lives. But regardless, it can be agreed that to be the parents of Jesus’s earthly mother, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim must have been faithful, devoted parents indeed. The patronage of Saint Anne includes grandparents, couples without children, women in labor, and women unable to conceive. Likewise, Saint Joachim is considered the patron of grandfathers, fathers, and grandparents. 

Anne, in Hebrew, means "God has given grace." According to existing accounts, she was barren for much of her life. One day in her advanced years, she conceived Mary, the mother of Jesus. Saint Anne dedicated the life of her child to the service of God when she was only three – a decision that was undoubtedly formative in the shaping of the future Mother of God. (nationalshrine.org)

Take care,

Grant Haigh
