Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we navigate through this term, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all parents for your understanding and support during this challenging time. We have seen many teachers and students affected by the flu, and your patience and kindness towards one another have truly made a difference. Thank you for fostering such a supportive environment within our school community.

I would also like to express my appreciation to our wonderful teachers, parents, and students for your compassion and teamwork as we care for one another during this period. Your collective efforts exemplify the spirit of community that we cherish at St Thomas Aquinas.

A special thank you goes out to the Vinnies Night Patrol team, who visited our school last week. Your efforts to help our students understand the invaluable work you do with vulnerable members of our community are greatly appreciated. The opportunity for our students to explore the van and learn about helping others in kind and compassionate ways was truly enlightening. Additionally, I want to thank everyone who contributed winter woollies as a donation to St Vincent de Paul. Your generosity has provided a practical and much-needed gift to those in need.

Our Olympic Games displays in each classroom and corridor are looking fabulous! We are indeed blessed with talent that extends beyond Paris! The green and gold day celebration was a highlight of our week, and it was wonderful to see our students embracing the spirit of the games in such fine form.

Lastly, I want to congratulate our Kindergarten children on celebrating 100 days of kinder last week! The creative display of grey hair and walking sticks gave us all a humorous glimpse into the future. These memories are precious, and I encourage you to keep those photos for posterity—they will surely become a reality soon enough!

Thank you for being a vital part of our St Thomas Aquinas community. Together, we continue to create a nurturing and enriching environment for our children.

Warm regards,
