Dear Families,

I would like to extend a special thank you to all those who attended our Awards Assembly on Friday. It was a momentous occasion where we recognized and celebrated the exceptional achievements of our students. The dedication and hard work demonstrated by our students have been truly commendable, and it is heart-warming to see the support and encouragement they receive from their teachers and parents. Your presence at the assembly made a significant impact on our students, reinforcing the importance of their accomplishments.

I am constantly amazed by the dedication and commitment of our teachers, who go above and beyond to provide a nurturing and enriching learning environment for our students. Their passion for education is evident in the achievements and growth of our students. I am grateful for their unwavering support and their continued efforts to inspire and empower our students.

3 Way conferences will be held in Week 9 and parents are encouraged to book in a time that they can meet with their child’s teacher with their child to discuss Semester 1 outcomes. Please visit the Compass Parent Portal to gain access to the times that are available. I would like to thank teachers for opening up times outside the core school hours to enable these meetings. 

Reports will be distributed to families via Compass on Monday of Week 10, 1 July 2024.  Please ensure that you have access to Compass and if you are experiencing difficulties please email the front office on office.staquinas@cg,catholic.edu.au for assistance. It is essential for all families to have access to the app as it is our main source of communication.

Further, I would like to acknowledge the parents of our students. Your partnership and involvement in your child's education are invaluable. Your unwavering support, encouragement, and active participation contribute significantly to the success and well-being of our school community. We are truly grateful for your commitment and collaboration.

As we continue our journey together, let us remember the importance of unity, collaboration, and a shared vision for the education and growth of our students. Together, we can create a nurturing and inspiring environment where our students can thrive and reach their full potential.

As mentioned previously, I would like to stress the importance of arriving at school on time. We have had an increase of students regularly arriving to school late. This not only disrupts the class as a whole but also your child missing key learning notices by not attending our morning assemblies and/or the start of their class lessons. Please be aware that our morning assembly commences at 8:50am with class rolls being marked by 9:00am. The drive-thru gates will be closed by 8:55am and those students arriving after this time will be required to be signed in by an adult at the front office. Please note that students cannot sign themselves in on arrival.

Students from Year 6 will be celebrating their Confirmation this Thursday evening with Father Richard Thompson, Vicar General. This is an important milestone for those students participating in the Sacrament of Confirmation and I ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they continue their Confirmation journey.

Thank you once again for your presence and support. I look forward to the exciting times ahead as we continue to work together to provide the best possible education for our students.

Yours in Faith,
