Rostrun Quarter Final
Congratulations to Siena D (6 Charcoal), our Quarter Finalist selected as one of three winners at last night's Rostrum Public Speaking Competition. Siena goes on to the semi-finals in the coming weeks. The quality of each speech presented was excellent. Thank you to Mrs Maria Radic for her coordination of the event and opportunity for the children involved.
Year 6 Assembly
Congratulations to Miss Maddie Greenwood and the Year 6 CSYMI students on presenting a very meaningful prayer liturgy with a focus on HOPE. The children were a credit to the school, encouraging us all strive to do our best and walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
Hats On
It is that time of year when we return to the wearing of sunhats when outside during a break or at sport sessions. I am happy for the children to continue to wear their beanies on a cold morning, if they would prefer. Don't forget to pack the hat.
Have a lovely weekend
Carmel Maguire
Principal
