Founders' Week

Next week is Founders’ Week, the week where we celebrate the joy in learning which our Founders developed, and where all students take part in a variety of activities, retreats and excursions both at a campus and a whole school level. 

It is important that students attend school all week – not only are the activities fun, but there will also still be some core learning happening. We ask that parents ensure their children attend each day, it is not an opportunity to have a longer holiday. 

The whole school timetable of events can be found by clicking on the image above or you can go to the Class Information page on our website.

End of Term Items

• Semester 1 Reports – these will be released through SEQTA Engage on Thursday 3 July. If you are unable to access SEQTA please contact the primary admin and they will help you to log in. 

• Parent Teacher Interviews – These will take place on Monday 21 July, throughout the day as it is a pupil free day. An email containing the sign-up links will be emailed to families this week. It is important to stay in regular contact with your child’s teachers so please take advantage of this opportunity to meet with them.   
• Founders Week: Week 10 - This is always an exciting week where we come together as a whole school for Mass on Monday morning and then for the whole day on Friday. Camino walks, excursions and incursions have all been planned to take place during the week so it is important that you are aware of the timetable which will be emailed out next week and can also be found on our school website. Please note that this is not an optional week, students are expected to be at school. 

Save the Date

Whole school open night – Thursday 31 July, 4:00pm - 7:00pm. 

Come along and see the great things happening on both campuses.

A quick reminder that if you collect your student from school early could you please inform your bus driver (or bus contractor) that they will not be catching the bus home after school.  The other option is to ask admin staff to pass a message onto their other children that this particular family member will not be on the bus with them in the afternoon.  This wiil eliminate buses waiting for a child that is not at school or other students having to race around looking for them.  Thank you.
