Open Day for Kinder 2023

Thursday, 3 March

4pm - 6pm

For new families, and the not so new,

come and see what St Therese Catholic School has to offer.

Covid Restrictions Update

Please refer to the Covid Letter sent earlier today outlining changes that will start to come into place from next week.

Safe Driving during busy times

Reminder to parents that it is illegal to cross an unbroken white line and travel up the wrong side of the road. This has occurred at times on Powell St which is highly dangerous. Fines will apply if witnessed by Police or Council Rangers. I would encourage parents to contact police especially if you have video footage or are able to capture a number plate.

Wet Weather Traffic

As highlighted yesterday, wet weather brings out a lot more traffic in and around the school. Please be patient and allow for additional time when travelling through any school zones between 2.30 and 3.30pm. Please also be conscious of local traffic especially residents who may be trying to exit driveways.

Hair Styles

Just a reminder that our school policy states that girls must have their hair tied back and boys should have an even cut that does not come over their collar. Hair should not be a distraction by constantly falling over the child’s face. 

Personalised Planning (PP) Meetings

Mrs Vezinias has been in touch with relevant families whose child(ren) have a Personalised Plan. The purpose of these meetings, held at least twice per year, is to work together on setting realised goals for the students and to ensure they are being supported to achieve the best possible outcomes. These meetings will be held over the next couple of weeks.

P & F Volunteers Needed

The P & F only have another 5 meetings scheduled for 2022. These are currently being held in the school hall on Tuesday evening from 7pm to about 8.30pm. At each meeting, a Principal’s Report is tabled outlining significant events of changes that are happening at the school. It is also a chance for me to gain feedback or to test some initiatives to gain a parent’s viewpoint. The P & F also plan, organise and run fundraising events which ultimately puts resources back into the school - significant financial support in recent times from the P & F have resulted in Little Bank improvements, classroom readers, iPads, Stage 1 verandah seating as well as funding some ‘special’ days for students over the past two turbulent years.

The P & F are currently looking for two parents, or two teams of parents, who could fulfil the following roles. No experience is necessary, just the gift of your time. This is a great opportunity for new families to the school to become involved. If you would like to know more about these roles, or to nominate yourself, please contact Louise in the office.

Special Family Mass - the Sunday @ 10am

All families are invited to join in this special Mass. It is a great opportunity for children to see their friends after Mass and for parents to make new connections.
