From the Principal
SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL UPDATE
Our Council meets every term. Members are parents who nominated to be part of the council. The Principal, a staff member & the Parish Priest are ex-offico members of the council. The council acts as an advisory panel for principal on school policy, enrolments, finance etc.
The School Community Council met recently. On the agenda was the increased level of enrolments and that I have requested the Catholic Education Office to let us have a third Kinder in 2026. We also discussed the need for a building project to build new classrooms as we continue to grow. The Council has been discussing the school uniform and it is hoped that we will add an option for the girls summer uniform of those who wish to wearing a shirt and pair of shorts. This would be in addition to the uniform choices. We are also investigating a warmer option for winter sports top. We will keep you updated about these additions to the uniform. The school council oversees the running of the Uniform Shop and Canteen and makes sure that both are financially viable. The council thanks Mrs Martin for her work in running the uniform shop especially with high demand from all our new students. They also grateful for the wonderful service provided at our canteen by the Canteen Manager Di and her assistant Coreena. We especially owe a debt of gratitude to the volunteers who help out at the canteen & uniform shop.
Council also discussed our fundraising goal for 2025. We are hoping for continued improvement of our playground and are looking at installing some natural wood product equipment at the back of the oval that would blend in with our natural bush area.
We have 2 fundraisers this term - our school disco & running the canteen at the Northern Region Athletics Carnival. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciate.
The disco is on 13th June & NR athletics carnival is on 20th June.
Let the office know if you are available to help out .
