Principal's Message
Welcome to Week 1 Term 3
Welcome back everyone. I hope you were able to enjoy some downtime with your children and are ready for the adventure of term three
“Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure.” St. John Paul II
This term has so many exciting activities available for us all and I am sure that everyone will get on board and enjoy Semester 2.
50th Anniversary Ball – September 4th 2021
The Ball committee has confirmed dates and that the Ball will be held at the Canberra Southern Cross Club in Corinna Room 1 on September 4th. This is a once in fifty year event, with a three course meal, prizes, a drinks package and a band, like the one found here -https://youtu.be/BJsgWvpkjQk - All for the reasonable price of $110.
The event will follow Covid-19 guidelines
A flyer will be sent out soon with all the information of how you can book, get table groups together and what the theme/dress code will be.
The invitation will be for all those who are over eighteen and have or have had a connection with our community. This means, former students, staff and parishioners and next years Kindergarten families are all invited.
Colour Run – Raise funds for new student desks and chairs
Our Colour Run Walkathon has been officially launched this week. As such the children will have brought home information today that explains the purpose of this fundraiser. You will note that the targeted resources for the raised funds have changed.
The children should hand you a flyer and introduction letter. The first step is just to register online. The class that has the most registrations will win a pizza party, what a great way to start!
The good news is that the school has found sufficient funds in its existing budget to purchase the proposed reading resources for the school. Therefore the school will target new furniture for the children using the Colour Run funds. Thank you for your support for this important fundraiser.

Events Calendar
On Monday your child will bring home the school’s Semester Two Event Calendar. This calendar highlights some of the important events and the classes responsible for organising them. As we had no real events last year due to Covid, this will be a new system for many parents. More information will follow this calendar to help people coordinate some of the fun events (Father's Day, Disco, Ginger Bread House Making etc) that are planned for our students.
God bless you and your family
