Dear Parents and Carers

Thank you to the Year 5 parents led by Tėa Hatzis and Shalome Ruiter for organising such a successful Mother's Day Breakfast this morning. Many mothers, aunts and grandmothers attended our special morning and Mother's Day Mass. We wish all our mothers and those who care for our children a very special day on Sunday.

This year it is time for the school to enter into a new cycle of School Review and Improvement. The last review was held in 2015. From that review came the recommendations that informed our current School Strategic Plan. It is time again to gather data from parents, senior students, teachers and a Review Panel in August in order to refine our new Strategic plan. Next week you will be sent a link to a survey for parents asking for feedback regarding the schools current and future direction. students in Years 4,5 and 6 will be invited to take the survey as well. All surveys are anonymous and optional. If you do not want your child to take the survey there is an option to withdraw them. The questions will ask about the Catholic Mission of the School, the academic learning and student wellbeing. The link you will be sent will send you to the TELL THEM FROM ME survey site.

School Uniform

Next week children should all hopefully be in winter uniform. Cowan and Lewis are our new suppliers. Online ordering is available at their website and direct purchases can be made at their store at Turramurra.
