Dear Families,

It has been wonderful to be able to get back to school assemblies and prayer celebrations, even if we have not been able to invite families to them yet. The students have been doing a wonderful job of sharing a little of what they have been doing in class with the rest of the school as well as providing some light entertainment. In Week 2, the Year 5s recounted their favourite moments about their recent camp. While last Friday the Year 2s impressed everyone with their skills in 3-digit addition and counting by 9s. Yesterday, Year 6 led the school in a reverent Prayer Liturgy to mark the Feast of the Assumption. During this term we are trying to return to normal school life as much as possible, while still staying within the rules and restrictions as set by Catholic Education. Parents are still more than welcome to come onto school grounds and we would love to see the families of award winners in particular every second Friday.

Staffing

I am pleased to announce that Mrs Rachel Hind will be joining our staff from Week 8. Rachel will replace Mrs Krystle Burnett in the Library. Shes come with a wealth of experience and knowledge and we are looking forward to her bringing her ideas and enthusiasm to the role. This week is Mrs Burnett’s last week with us, we will miss her and wish her well.

This week, I have also been able to offer Miss Samantha Pigram a permanent contract with the school. Sam has worked with us in a variety of roles throughout the school, most recently as a Year 5 teacher. This is wonderful news to Miss Pigram and for STA. We also welcome Ms Brittaney Ford to our staff. Ms Ford completed her final year practicum with Year 1 last term and will works across the school a few days each week

Take care and God bless

Yours in Faith

Leah Taylor
Principal
