Parent Education Well-Being Night a Great Success!
Our recent Parent Education Well-Being Night was a huge success, with over 70 parents attending! We've received a great deal of positive feedback from those who were able to join us and have some great ideas moving forward, including longer sessions, break times and other topics parents would like to touch on.
A huge thank you to our dedicated Well-Being Team - Mrs. Maria Wilson, Mrs. Fiona Hayward, Mr. Mick Marshall, Mrs. Jessica Watts, and Mrs. Nat Hurrell - for their hard work in organising this valuable event. To our parents, Hayley Guffogg and Emma Hockham, for coordinating catering with our Parent Assembly support. We'd also like to extend our gratitude to our fantastic presenters, Mrs. Rebecca Jamieson, Mrs. Bronwyn Shipton, Mrs. Janita Thomson, and Mrs. Amy Bourke, for sharing their knowledge and expertise. Finally, thank you to all the staff members who generously assisted with babysitting, making it possible for parents to attend.
The children enjoyed a night of friendship, movies and pizza. A big thank you to Big Brother Pizza who generously opened it’s door to cater for our school.
Celebrating the Assumption of Mary
Today, our students came together to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. This special day commemorates the belief that at the end of her life, Mary was taken into heaven, body and soul.
To mark this significant day, all our students and staff attended 12 p.m. Mass. It was a beautiful opportunity for our school community to reflect on Mary's deep faith and her special place in our Catholic tradition. Children also participated in singing, learning about Mary and other classroom activities.
Best wishes from the leadership team

Todd Woodbridge Cup Success
On Thursday, 32 of our enthusiastic Stage 2 students proudly represented our school at the Todd Woodbridge Cup, held at the Kendall Tennis Centre. Competing against Kendall Public School, our students showed incredible participation, enthusiasm, and true sportsmanship throughout the day – both with each other and their opponents.
A big congratulations to our Green Team, who played with determination and teamwork to take out the overall win! They’ll now advance to the Regional Finals in October – we can’t wait to cheer them on!
A big thank you to Mrs Maria Wilson for organising the teams, Mrs Sonya Steep for supporting and guiding our students on the day, and to all our wonderful parents for encouraging their children’s involvement. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Wendy, Ryan, Elwood, Kylie, and Catherine from Kendall Tennis Centre and Tennis Australia for making this fantastic opportunity possible.
Well done to all involved – what a great day of tennis, teamwork, and school spirit! 
Mrs Jessica Koenig.

Father's Day Stall - Urgent Action
Our SCG will be running a Father's Day Stall later this term. To ensure we buy enough stock, we ask that all families wishing to purchase a $10 gift pack, order these through Flexischools by Friday, 15th August. This will guarantee your child's gift.
Thank you to Catherine Dollery and Emma Hockham for putting in the work behind the scenes to make this happen. I'm sure more helpers will be appreciated on the stall day, where children will pack the gift back themselves with a mug and decal, socks, chocolates and a pen or coaster with decal.
All excess funds will be used towards our Father's Day Breakfast which will be held on Friday, 5th September from 8 am-9am, followed by a Father's Day liturgy.
Father's Day Breakfast
Orders are open on Flexischools for the Father's Day Breakfast, which will be held on Friday, 5th September from 8 am to 9 am, followed by a Father's Day liturgy.
All families receive one complimentary Bacon and Egg Roll but this MUST be ordered on Flexischools for $0. This is covered by the School Community Group using funds raised. Any additional B&E rolls can be purchased for $5 each. Families often buy one for children or grandparents who attend the breakfast and then have a game of handball or other playground games before the liturgy.
