Dear Community,

We are very pleased to have our first sacramental program underway for 2020. The Reconciliation Information Night was held this week and I would like to thank Mrs Collins for her flexibility in arranging the night and program in line with COVID restrictions. Thank you to Fr Sijo and Mr Hughes for their support as well. 

Thank you to our Garden Viewing committee for the work that they have started to undertake. I look forward to this positive community event in October. They will be looking for helpers on the day and we kindly request that you get behind this event and support it the best you can.

Some of our staff members have been unwell lately, resulting in absences from school. They must also be tested for COVID before returning to school. We are conscious that some classes have had a number of casual teachers teaching them and we can assure you that we always strive to limit the impact that this has on the teaching and learning here at St Anne's.  If you have any questions, please contact your child's classroom teacher. 

The renovations are nearing completion in our Primary Classrooms. The builders will tidy up their work site, leave and then return at a later date to begin the secondary classrooms; Wood/Metal, Food Tech and Science. This is looking like it may start at the beginning of next term. We look forward to sharing a virtual tour of the new Primary classrooms in the coming weeks. 

Our student numbers are looking healthy for next year in both Kindergarten and Year 7 and I would like to thank the community for their support. It has been really nice meeting families for enrolment interviews lately. It was also nice to hear from a new enrolment that our school has a positive reputation, reaching as far as West Wyalong in this case. 

Thank you to everyone that completed the School Satisfaction survey this term. We have received the results and look forward to celebrating the positives and recognising the constructive feedback moving forward. 

Take care,

Grant Haigh
