Dear Parents and Carers

We have much to celebrate over the last few weeks. Firstly a big thank you to the Year 3 students and their families for attending the Year 3 Mass on Sunday. Mrs Curran said it was such a delight to see the children at mass with their families. Thank you to Miss Jackson for supporting the parish choir with our student choir. This coming Sunday we have a chance to celebrate Sacred Heart Feast Day. Normally we celebrate this at school but this year, in light of the fact that we have been Sacred Heart for 100 years we encourage every family to join us at the 9am mass on Sunday the 26th June. Morning tea will be served after the mass.

Some of the other things we have been able to celebrate this term have been:

Goal Setting Meetings and Reports 2022

As you would be aware we changed the assessment and reporting sequence this year at the request of parents in 2021 who felt that the meetings and reports at the end of Term 2 were a little late in the year to give a full picture of how our students were progressing. Our goal setting meetings are complete and reports should go out this Friday. There should be no surprises from these and no need for further meetings this week as the reports should reflect the goal setting and conversations you and the teachers have had over the last few weeks.

Parents and Friends Meeting Tuesday 28th June 7pm

As you may be aware there are several members of our P and F who will finish at the school at the end of the year. They are looking for other members for 2023. Next week's meeting would be a good opportunity to attend a P and F meeting, to meet the P and F committee and to see the work that they do in the school.

Lunch Clubs

Thank you to the teachers who have volunteered to take lunch clubs each day. We hope that this will help facilitate our students' playing skills: negotiation, conflict management and turn taking are some of the skills we are trying to develop in all students at the school.
