Dear Parents and Carers,

This week as we enter into the cold of winter I just wanted to share a prayer from a book I am currently reading called ‘Wil of God’ (please note Wil is not a spelling error in the title) by Carrie Wilson Link.

Lord, open my eyes to see beauty,

Open my ears to hear truth,

Open my mind to seek wisdom,

Open my mouth to seek kindness

And open my heart to love.

Sacrament of First Reconciliation

Last Thursday evening a number of children in our school and parish received the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We offer them our congratulations and blessings at this time.

We extend our thanks to the Parish team and the staff on Stage 2 for their time and commitment in helping parents to prepare their children.

We once again express our gratitude to Fr Richard who is a wonderful spiritual leader and guide.

Enrolments Period

Enrolment period for Kindergarten 2020 is finishing Friday 31st May. Enrolment forms and information are available from our school website.

Hats Off for June and July

Winter is upon us and hats are put away for the months of June and July (unless we are going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time). There are school beanies available through the clothing pool should your child need a little extra warmth.

Winter Uniform

Just a reminder that the transition period for changing into Winter Uniforms has now passed. Could you please support the school by encouraging your child to come dressed in the correct uniform each day.

We have attached the Winter Uniform Guide as it appears in our School Handbook for your information.

Drive Through

Just a reminder for all drivers of some important rules if you are using this option to drop your children in the mornings:

• Children must exit the vehicle from the left hand side only.
• This drop-off area at the back of the hall (marked by the large yellow cross and no parking) is appropriate for the children who can exit the vehicle independently. Please do not leave your vehicle to assist your child to leave the car. If your child has not yet reached this stage, please park your car in the normal bays and escort them to the safe area between the hall and school.
• Please drive to the front of the zone as far as traffic permits. This will allow for more vehicles to use the zone and in so doing will help to prevent a backlog occurring.

NAPLAN

Thank you to Mrs Wode for coordinating and organising the event for Sacred Heart. As many parents are aware there were extra challenges associated with this year’s administration.  We extend our thanks to the staff involved in this process for their calm and professional management of the changes and associated challenges.

Yours faithfully,

Anne Staines

Principal
