Principal’s Message
As we work towards the end of the Term we reflect on our successes while also reflecting on the challenges we have faced. These challenges focus around the adjustments that parents, teachers and students have worked through during COVID. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents and caregivers who have been extremely patient and supportive with all the restrictions. Unfortunately we have seen events postponed or even cancelled. Working with CEWA and the Health Department, our priority has always been and will continue to be the health and safety of our staff, students and parents. I would also like to thank the parent body for the positive feedback on various issues, whether it is through conversations with parents or through email. This signifies the strong connection we have with the school community. As a school community, let us continue to pray for family and friends who have been affected in any way by COVID.
Our Year 6 students are approaching the final stages in their preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. On Wednesday the students participated in an all-day retreat lead by the youth group 24/7. This was an opportunity to consolidate all they have learnt about the sacrament through various activities. Students valued this time as they have begun to understand what it means to be initiated into the Catholic Church.

Eamon, the son of my editor, Allyn Johnston, has the opportunity to ‘talk back’ about postcards.
Allyn travels a lot for work and sends him postcards from the places she goes. Eamon looks for
hem in the mail, and he and his dad read them together for comfort while she’s gone. The
postcards become a topic of conversation. His dad talks about them ands Eamon talks back to

Coming up in our ELC room we will be looking into the negative impact climate change has on our planet and what
positive actions we can take to help improve our carbon footprint. We will make a chart together of things we can do
