Hello Parents and Carers,

This Thursday evening we are offering a parent information night on ‘tips’ you can use at home when reading with your child. The focus will be on specific strategies that we commonly use in the classroom on a daily basis. All parents of students in Kindergarten to Year 3 are invited to attend, but all K-6 parents are most welcome. The evening will be conducted in the Year 2/3/4 classroom starting at 6:00 – and finishing before 7:00pm. Babysitting will be provided and tea and coffee will also be available. The evening will involve some discussion and include video examples of strategies. We hope to see you there.

Last term our Year 6 leaders held a pyjama day to support St Vincent de Paul’s Winter Appeal and successfully reached their target of $200, thanks to a very generous donation. This means that teachers needed to take on the challenge of purchasing an outfit from St Vincent de Paul to wear to school. No, we are not wearing silly items but, instead, showing options for recycling clothing at a reasonable cost. Well done Year 6!

Satisfaction surveys should have landed in your email box today. Your input is appreciated by St Mary’s and Catholic Education. Surveys will need to be completed by 9 August. Please let the office know if you have not received it. Thank you in advance.

Have a good week everyone.

Kind Regards

 Jannine
