Dear Community,

We warmly invite all our dads, grandfathers, and family members to our Fathers' Day Breakfast next Friday, starting at 8:00 am in the school hall. Enjoy delicious bacon and egg rolls with a coffee van on site to kickstart your morning! (Please RSVP on QKR for catering purposes).

This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Fathers' Day as a school community. After breakfast, parents are welcome to visit their child's classroom and see the fantastic work happening at Sacred Heart.

Following the classroom visits, we invite everyone to our significant Fathers' Day Mass in the Church at 9:30 a.m. This is a special moment when we, as a whole school community, come together to give thanks and celebrate the special men in our lives.

Staffing Update

Mrs. Kerry Wode, our Assistant Principal, will return after five weeks of Long Service Leave next Monday. We’re excited to welcome Kerry back and hope she has enjoyed her well-deserved break.

I want to extend a huge thanks to Mrs. Katie Imbriano, who has done an outstanding job as Acting Assistant Principal during Kerry’s absence. Additionally, Mrs. Laura Stumbles has been fantastic as Acting Coordinator, not just for the past five weeks but for a total of 15 school weeks this year. Their dedication and support have been invaluable, and I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and commitment to our students, staff and families.

Confirmation next weekend

Many Year 6 students are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, a significant milestone in their faith journey. Confirmation is a significant Sacrament in the Catholic Church, where our young people receive the Holy Spirit, strengthening them to live out their faith with courage and commitment.

Next Friday, our Year 6 students will participate in a Confirmation Retreat Day at Sacred Heart Church. This retreat will provide them with an opportunity for reflection, prayer, and spiritual growth as they prepare for their Confirmation weekend, which will take place next Friday and Saturday.

We ask our community to pray for these students and their families during this special time. We also want to thank Fr. Emil for his dedication and work in preparing our students for this important Sacrament.

Community Council Meeting

This is a friendly reminder that our Community Council meeting is this evening at 6:00 p.m. in the school library. It is an open meeting, and we warmly welcome all members of our school community to attend.

The Community Council plays a vital role in shaping the direction of our school, and your input is invaluable. Whether you’re a regular attendee or joining us for the first time, we would love to have you there.

In faith and partnership,

David Austin

Principal
