Principal’s Report
We welcomed Assumption College Kilmore students to
our school this week, working in classrooms across the
school. These students perform outreach work in
communities across the state as part of their school
program. It was wonderful watching these young people
interact with our students and the enjoyment our
students took from meeting new faces.
A quick reminder to please update phone numbers,
addresses etc. with the front office if they have changed.
Also we understand that some families have court orders
of various types and we ask that as these change, if they
are relevant to the school, please provide updated copies
of these also.
Have a great weekend.
