Grandparents and Special Friends Day
Tomorrow, Friday 11 November, we invite you to join us for our 2022 Australiana-themed Grandparents and Special Friends Day.
The day will commence with Mass at 9.15am in St Mary's Catholic Church. If you would like to sit with your child/grandchild in the Church please collect them from their classroom at 9.00am.
Following Mass, morning tea will be served by our Parents and Friends Association in our Multi-purpose Hall. We request that all families send in a plate of food to share.
At 10.50am we will move into our Hall for our Remembrance Day Ceremony and Australiana-themed performance.
After the presentation, you are welcome to have a walk through the school buildings to view our recent developments.
Japanese Cultural Activity Day
Thank you, Mrs O'Brien, and all the teachers, for preparing and facilitating an informative and fun Japanese Cultural Activity Day last Friday.
In mixed-grade groups, the students cooked rice balls and yakitori, practised shuji calligraphy, listened to Japanese folktale stories, did Manga drawing, created Hokusai art, and made origami lanterns and fans.
2022 Australian Primary Principals Conference (APPA)
Last week I participated in the 2022 APPA Conference in Sydney. Alongside 700 Principals from all over Australia, I heard a large variety of guest speakers all sharing their amazing stories and messages on the theme of equity and diversity.
The engaging and thought-provoking sessions dug deep into inclusion and diversity and how this affects our families, communities, staff and students.
For me, some of the highlights included talks from Amna Karra-Hassan, founder of the first-ever women's AFL team in Western Sydney, Craig Foster AM Socceroo and Social Justice and Human Rights Activist, Dr Ricahel Harris OAM, Anesthetist and cave diver at the Thailand Tham Luang cave rescue, Mitch Wallis, Heart on your sleeve founder and mental health advocate and Hannah Dviviney leading Disability advocate. The event was hosted by ABC's 'Q&A' Stan Grant.
I would like to thank all the staff for filling my role in my absence, especially Mrs Therese Skelly and Mrs Sally-Anne Croker.
IEU Union Strike
I have been informed that some IEU (Independent Education Union) members will be participating in one hour of protected industrial action in the form of a work stoppage on Tuesday 15 November from 8.30am - 9.30am.
All students will come to school as normal that day. I will provide playground supervision and then will take the opportunity to practise some of the whole school Christmas concert songs.
School Disco
Our end-of-year school disco for Years 3-6 is scheduled for Thursday 24 November at 5.30pm to 7.00pm in the Old Hall. Year 6 organise and run the disco. This year, Year 6 have chosen the theme Movie or TV Character. Entry to the disco is $2.00 and drinks and snacks will be available.
