PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back everyone. We hope that everyone was able to enjoy a well-earned break from school and were able to take the opportunity to relax with family and/or friends. We have had a calm and smooth return to school for Term 2.
Assemblies and School Events
This term we are welcoming parents back to school assemblies and whole school events with the easing of some COVID -19 restrictions.
Friday Afternoon Assemblies
Please feel welcome to join us if your child is receiving an award or your child’s class are leading the assembly. Adults will need to adhere to the Social Distancing requirements during this time and register attendance through the ACT App.
Whole School Events
Parents will be welcome to join us for whole school events. To record attendance Parents/Carers or Grandparents are required to RSVP so we can keep to the number limitation for events. They will also need to register through the Canberra App per the ACT governments requirements.
ANZAC Day
“ANZAC” was the name given to a combined force of First Australian Imperial Force and New Zealand Army troops who landed on Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula at around dawn on Sunday, the 25th day of April, 1915, barely nine months after the outbreak of World War I.
On every 25th day of April for the past 100 years, “ANZAC Day” has been observed in Australia and New Zealand, becoming an honoured and sacred institution along the way.
Monday will be a public holiday in the ACT so Sacred Heart will celebrate this important event on Tuesday morning after the children have taken their bags to the classroom. Further details are included in today’s Newsletter.
Mothers’ Day
We will be celebrating the gift of mother’s and special women in our lives on Friday 7th May from 8.55am. This will be followed by an opportunity for parents to visit classrooms. More details be sent home soon.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Peake (Miss Bartley) on their marriage at the end of last term.
Professional Learning on Monday
On Monday staff participated in professional learning to develop fluency tasks in mathematics. We also spent time completing the next CATALYST unit online. This involved further learning on Cognitive Load Theory and High Impact Teaching Strategies.
School Photos
Thank you for your support in having all children organised for the annual school photos on Tuesday morning. This made for a very efficient process.
Take care and God bless,
