Our school is a place of faith and learning
Dear Parents and Families,
This morning,Year 5MC celebrated their Class Mass. It was lovely to see families join children as they continued their Lenten journey, reflecting on the ways they have chosen to commit themselves to following Christ during this Lenten season.
A reminder, that the Parish Children’s Mass will be celebrated on Sunday March 29th, 2020 at the Cathedral. Please note the date change. All families are invited to attend. Mass will begin at 9.30am.
Families of children wishing to receive the sacraments of either Reconciliation, First Eucharist or Confirmation are asked to complete their sacramental enrolment forms. Forms are to be returned to Jenny Fitzgerald, Sacramental Co-ordinator at the Sale presbytery by March 26th, 2020. We are very happy to accept enrolment forms and forward them to Jenny. Invitations and information packs went out to children last week.
Thank you to families who have donated Easter eggs or items for the Easter raffle. Items can be left in the foyer at school. Raffle tickets went home yesterday and the P&F look forward to your support. The children always look forward to this event.
Our Cross Country will be held on the last day of term. Children have been practising at school. For our new families, the Cross Country will be held at the Catholic College ovals. Children from Foundation classes to Year 6 will be participating. We plan to have all events completed by 1.15pm so that children can return to school to catch country buses. School will finish at 2.15pm on the last day of term.
Please know that we will not be having meet and greet interviews this term.
An invitation is always extended to families to discuss the progress and wellbeing of their child with the classroom teacher. It is best to make a time that suits you both. If you have not had a chance to call in and meet or greet your child’s teacher, or visit your child’s classroom, you may like to do so in the following weeks or early Term Two. Formal interviews will be held in June and reports will also go out at the end of Term Two. If you are unable to attend the school, you are welcome to chat to your child’s teacher via phone at the end of the school day. We have a number of families who have met their child’s teacher both formally or informally throughout the term. Please do not hesitate to speak with teachers for a current update about what is happening within the classroom and how your child has settled into the school year.
Enjoy your long weekend.
