Earlier this week I attended the National Catholic Education Conference in Melbourne with 40 other representatives from the Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese. While it was an excellent conference, I hear I missed a fabulous Mother Teresa Day of celebration and fun. Thank you to all the families who purchased golden tickets. The funds raised will support needy children overseas. This year we raised over $6000. 

Congratulations to the staff and children in our ELC. The creative art pieces were amazing. 

NAPLAN results were sent home during the week. Where a child lives between two homes a copy was posted to the other parent.  

Future of Education Equity Fund - Helping with the cost of schooling and everyday needs

The ACT Government is committed to helping all children and young people participate in programs and activities that support their educational and wellbeing needs.

The Future of Education Equity Fund can provide financial support to eligible families, helping students access everyday essentials at school.

The Future of Education Equity Fund provides a one-off, annual payment to low-income families to help cover the costs of education expenses such as school uniforms, school excursions, sport equipment and activities and music lessons.

The Equity Fund has replaced the Secondary Bursary Scheme, expanding its support to families with students in years P–12. It supports low-income families with students enrolled in an ACT preschool (attached to a school) or school (as well as independent students), who meet the eligibility criteria.
