Term 2 Thursday, Week 4 21 May 2015 Dear Parents, Tomorrow is a busy day at our school with an Athletics Carnival run in conjunction with an Archbishop’s visit. You will be relieved to hear that the Archbishop will not be participating in any events. Rather his purpose will be to meet the Year Six children who are preparing for the reception of Confirmation the following week. It does give you a quick glimpse into the busyness of school life! Thank you to the parish team, our Year Six Teachers and our REC, Mr Luke Maher, who have spent considerable time preparing these children. I would like to sincerely thank Mrs Penny Vanzwol and Mrs Mel Shannon who jointly presented a Parents as Partners course on Tuesday morning and evening. We were delighted with the response with over 60 parents attending throughout the day. The feedback following the sessions was very positive and confirms a discussion at our recent Community Council meeting, whereby members requested more offerings of this type. Tuesday’s attendance was a clear affirmation of the support for these courses. May God bless you and your family.
