Principal's Message Term 2 Week 6 2024

Dear Parents,

As we push past the halfway mark of Term 2 and as the weather gets more inclement and the days shorter the King's Birthday public holiday could not come at a better time. It's a chance to rest, reset and fight off any of those minor illnesses that float around at this time of year. Over the last few weeks we have experienced a spike in staff absences due to illness. Thank you for your understanding as class groups are split to ensure the class programs are maintained. A reminder to please keep children at home if not well or have flu or Covid symptoms. 

Staffing News
After a long association with Mother Teresa School, both as a parent and staff member, we farewell Mrs Jan Rawlins at the end of the term. As a community we thank Jan for her hard work and dedication, particularly in her role as learning support teacher in the Diverse Learning team. Her expertise will be greatly missed and we wish her and her family all the best for the future.
Miss Erin O'Leary will be returning to 2 Lime in a part time capacity from Wednesday next week. Miss Carly Salmon continue to work with 2 Lime, ensuring consistency and continuity in learning is maintained. Welcome back Miss O...We missed you!

Parent Conferences and Semester 1 Reports 
The booking schedule for the Term 2 parent meetings is now open via the Compass Conference tab. These meetings are important as they will provide information of your child's progress prior to reports being issued in Week 10. Please note in line with a Catholic Education decision there will be no formal comment on the mid-year report. 

School Hall extension project
Following a recent meeting with the architect responsible for leading our project it will commence towards the end of Term 3. More information once the tender process is complete and a clear timeline is developed. This will be a great addition to our school for many years to come.

Kinder interviews for 2025
Kinder interviews for the class of 2025 have commenced. All new families will be invited to meet prior to the end of term. Children who are siblings will be invited to attend their interview early next term. 

Wishing all of our families a safe and enjoyable long weekend.

God Bless

 

Craig and Lina
