From the Principal

Welcome back to Term Three! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful and refreshing winter break with family and friends. I have enjoyed listening to student’s holiday stories about relaxing fun at home, family gatherings, fun in snowy locations and even trips that have escaped our wintery blast. As we return, we look forward to a term filled with learning, laughter, and community spirit.
This Friday, we begin with a special celebration — the Grandparents’ Mass with our Foundation students. It’s a beautiful opportunity to honour the love and wisdom of our extended families. Next week, we look forward to engaging in meaningful conversations during Parent Teacher Interviews, strengthening our partnership in your child’s learning journey.
There’s great excitement in the Middle and Senior School with Term Three hosting basketball action, and there is fun for you parents with the ever-popular Trivia Night set to bring fun and fellowship. We also hold in prayer the students preparing to receive the Sacrament of Eucharist later this term— a special milestone in their faith journey.
Let’s embrace the busy nine weeks ahead with joy, purpose, and gratitude.


Parent Teacher Interviews
Parent Teacher Interview bookings are now open on PAM. Interviews will be held across two afternoons in Week 2 of Term 3 - Monday 28th July and Tuesday 29th July. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress in more detail. Please arrange an alternative time with your teacher if these afternoons do not suit. Please log onto PAM to book a suitable interview time as soon as possible.
2B and 5/6B interviews will be held at another time due to staff leave. These dates have been communicated directly to those families.
CATHOLIC SCHOOL CULTURE
Foundation Grandparents Morning

Foundation Grandparents/Special Friends are invited to join us this Friday the 25th of July at 9.30am for the Grade Prep Grandparents / Special Friends Mass at St Patrick’s Church in Wall St Camperdown. This will be followed by a shared morning tea at St Patrick’s School, Dimora Avenue concluding at approximately 11am.
We would love to see as many Grandparents / Special Friends attending this mass as possible, as it will be a wonderful opportunity for the Foundation children to include you in their school life.
