Dear Families,

On Saturday night a group of Year 4 students and their families gathered to prepare for First Eucharist. I would like to thank Skye McPadden and the Year 4 teachers for supporting students in this preparation. We will continue to keep these children in our prayers.

For those of you needing to purchase school uniform, in particular jumpers, the second-hand uniform pool has barely worn jumpers in a large range of sizes. The SCC open the second-hand uniform pool on Monday mornings and Wednesday’s after school. Other uniform items are also available.

As colds and flu continue to circulate, we have a number of staff away either sick, or with sick children. While we do our best to find relief staff to cover these absences, it is not always possible. This week, we have even had relief staff calling in sick! This means that on occasions we will need to split a class. When a class is split, they are provided with independent work either on Google Classrooms or in a booklet. We try to share this around as much as possible, so no one class is disadvantaged. Again, this will never be perfect but we do our very best. You may also hear of special guest teachers, including me, taking classes. Our priority is always for teaching and learning and looking after the wellbeing of students. Placing members of the Leadership Team in class may mean that we are not available during the day to respond immediately to questions, phone calls or requests and I thank you for your patience.

Take care and God bless

Yours in Faith

Leah Taylor
Principal
