Welcome back

We have had a great start back and look forward to a busy Term 3.  With COVID restrictions still in place we will continue to ask families to social distance in the foyer with only 4 families using this space.  All people who enter through our wooden door are asked to check in using the QR code CBR App.  Thanks in advance for your assistance as we continue to align our procedures to current Health and Catholic Education advice. 

If your child is unwell and has flu like symptoms, please keep them at home. 

Parent/teacher interviews

Parent/teacher interviews will start next week.  An sZapp message was posted that includes a link to book a time to see your child’s class teacher.  The children will take their portfolios home for you to look at before the interview.  We encourage you to sit down with your child to look at all the great learning that has taken place in Semester 1.  Included in the portfolio is a feedback form.  Please take the time to fill this out and return it at your parent/teacher interview along with the portfolio.  The children will continue to fill their folder this semester and it will be sent home at our Christmas celebration at the end of the year. 

If you require assistance to book in a parent/teacher interview time, please contact us. 

Enrolment for 2022

Our official enrolment period has now closed, and we have offered places for our 2022 families.  In addition to this we have contacted families to join us soon for enrolment interviews.  These will be held at our Preschool and at St Thomas the Apostle in Kambah.  We look forward to welcoming our new families at the beginning of their Preschool experience. 

Staffing changes for this term

This term Winnie will be on leave.  We will warmly welcome Imogen who currently works in After School Care and Steph who works in the Bilbies to join the Possums at the end of each week.  Steph will work the alternating Wednesdays and Imogen will work Thursday and Fridays. 

NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. In Selina’s Welcome to Country at the NAIDOC mass she called for all people to help heal country by planting a tree. This simple yet practical idea is a great way for us all to be involved.
