Staff Walk Through - Primary Building

Last Thursday afternoon, staff were invited to have their first look at the refurbished primary building. Having been in regular site inspections since construction started, it was fantastic to see the reaction of staff. After a long 18 months in demountables, or doubling up in the library, staff are very excited to see the space and potential in what is a very different building to the one they left in 2020. At this stage, project completion is only about 5 weeks away!!

Congratulations to all Students

I would just like to acknowledge the settled way students have returned to school this term. With a few minor issues, generally students have accepted that we haven’t been able to use the big band and sometimes the little bank as well. This creates ‘pressure’ on the back playground but I am quite proud of the attitude of students and how they have worked together to accommodate everyone while adhering to the school rules.

Traffic on Powell St

Towards the end of last term, regular reminders, and a police visit, almost put a complete stop to cars lining up on Powell St prior to 2.45pm. This however has changed and I am again seeing traffic at a standstill all the way back to Woodlawn Ave - yesterday this was the case 10mins before the gates were to be opened. This is illegal and subject to quite high infringement notices if police come by. Gates to the presbytery carpark do not open until 2.45pm.

School Uniform - Black Leather Shoes

Reminder that our uniform stipulates black, leather shoes to go with the Winter and Summer uniform. We are seeing a number of students now wearing what is more like a black jogger. I ask that parents make every effort to ensure students are in the correct uniform at all times.

School Uniform - Clearly labelled

Please check items of uniform as we have had quite a few jackets and hats that have been clearly labelled with the student’s name that have gone missing. It is very easy for children to pick up the wrong thing but we would like to have them returned to their rightful owner.
