The End of Term is Here!

 Good afternoon parents,

Welcome to the last week of 2020...it has been a very busy few weeks and whilst this one feels like a lot...we can do it!

Unfortunately though, I haven't recovered as well as I would have liked, so I will be taking Monday off just to make sure that I can see out the week...this is absolutely not what I want to be doing and rest assured I may have thrown a few toys about it! I am a horrible patient! I know its important to rest and make sure I am back at 100% for a fantastic last few days.


I would like to thank you all for an amazing year...I have thoroughly enjoyed working with these beautiful children and they have been one of my favourite classes ever...I do know that you aren't supposed to say that but its true. I am giving them back to you a little taller, heavier and hopefully better at the learning things!! We have laughed and learnt and laughed some more...it certainly has been a year to remember!

A few reminders for this week...

Books - these will be coming home in stages this week. Can you please make sure that your child has packed a reusable bag for each day to make life easier for all and to ensure that all is not left until the last day.

Christmas Concert - Tuesday 8th December - please make sure that your child is dressed as per Mrs Sherborne's instructions and at our class by 5.20pm. We will move down to meet you there at 5.30pm. Please make sure that you are dressed comfortably and remember that it is an alcohol free event.

Excursion - Wednesday 9th December - Please make sure that your child has returned their permission slip. They are to wear their teal sports uniform and are to make sure they BYO recess, hat and water. It is looking like it will be a warm day so extra water is good! We will be cleaning our drawers, tables and chairs in the morning before hopping on the bus at 10am.

Christmas Eve Mass - The 6.00pm Christmas Eve children's mass is being held here at school this year. 

Vinnies Boxes - If you haven't already can I ask you to make a small donation to our box. These will be presented at assembly on Friday.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas Concert on Tuesday...thank you again for your care and support. It has been so greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards and very best wishes for a wonderful holiday...enjoy the no lunch boxes!

Caitlin xx

Good afternoon! The last week has arrived...I can't believe it either! Term 2 has been such a busy and productive time, the students have worked like troopers producing some amazing pieces of work! We are very proud of the learning habits they have developed and the maturity they are showing as we grow closer to Year 5. In saying this, it is time for a well-deserved break! REMINDERS - WEEK 10 Father Ian and Mr Wilkie Farewell Mass   - Tomorrow Father Tony Chiera will be celebrating Mass with us in the hall to wish Mr Wilkie and Fr Ian a happy farewell and retirement. The mass will begin at 1.30 pm and afterwards there will be an afternoon tea for the parents and parishioners to share together. It has been asked if families in Years Four to Six provide a plate for this afternoon tea and take it to the hall in the morning. We thank you for your support with this. Pencil Cases Refill   - At the end of this week we will be sending the student's pencil cases ho

Week 9...The Last One!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the final week, if you are like me, I can remember October and then suddenly the term is at its end!  It has been a busy one here, I was lucky enough to head to the Player's night on Thursday down at Shark Park and then was also able to head to the Volunteers Breakfast on Sunday...had the best chat with Bob Murphy, he is one funny cat!  What a great opportunity for our town to have the players in, they were so appreciative of the opportunity to come and connect with their fans and were a pleasure to be around! I would like to say the biggest and most sincere thank you to you as a parent group, you have been so supportive of myself and your children and we have had a thoroughly brilliant year as a group!  To see how much the children have grown and changed is such a privilege and I am going to miss them all very very much. I wish you and your families, a enjoyable and restful break, I am sure we will see each other on the beach or around town betwe
