Please find a link to a letter from the Director of Catholic Education, Ross Fox about two planning days in Term 3. The letter gives the timing of these planning days which will be pupil free.

Arrangements will be made for the supervision of those students who need to attend school. The school will provide you with further details well in advance of the days.

I greatly appreciate your understanding of the need for this response in this challenging context.       ACT Pupil Free Days T3 2022

I would like to thank the ELC families, staff, children and the wider parish community for your support during the first half of our preschool year. Together we have faced many challenges. Having said this, the recent family reflection forms have highlighted the many positive experiences and parts of the programs that have been a highpoint for the children which, in some cases, have helped to connect families to their child’s learning. The positive relationships the ELC staff have made with the children and their ability to create environments and experiences that cater for all children was another point that many families made.   Your feedback will feed into our Quality Improvement Plan and aid the critical reflections which guide future pedagogy, routines and practices. We value your ongoing feedback and encourage those families who have not yet returned their reflection form to please do so. Thank you all!

Term 3 Dates

Term 3 begins on Monday 18 July for the Turtle and Stingray classes and Thursday 21 July for the Lobster class. The pupil free days at the school do not affect the ELC.

Gymnastics

Thank you to Woden Valley Gymnastics Club for another fabulous term. Many families have asked if there is an opportunity to run another gymnastics program this year. We will seek an expression of interest from families next term and if there is enough interest we will offer gymnastics again in Term 4.

Kenny Koala

This week we had a visit from Constable Kenny Koala to help teach us about community safety. Kenny has been educating children for generations. Emilia was excited to share a photo of her mum as a young child with Kenny.
