We have had a great attendance and have enjoyed getting to know our 2024 Foundation students over the past weeks. Next Monday, 20th November will be our final Orientation Day, with the children once again bringing their lunch along and spending an extended time at school. We look forward to welcoming all these children to our Foundation Classes next year.

Mark your diaries for the exciting event from 5.30 – 7.45pm at St John’s Hall and school grounds.  Individual and class art works, an auction, raffle, live music & food trucks.

Adorn your school uniform with the craziest socks you have and bring along a gold coin in support of Caritas Missionary works.

This month’s edition of ‘Respectful Relationships’ encompasses the foundation upon which positive interactions, understanding, and empathy are built within a school community. Fostering an environment that values and promotes respect in all interactions among students, teachers and staff, is essential for creating a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels heard, valued and supported.

This edition outlines the importance of effective communication, active listening, empathy, and conflict resolution skills, all of which contribute to the cultivation of a healthy and harmonious educational setting.

What a great time we had. A busy few days full of new experiences and challenges, yet still time for making new friends. When asking what the highlight was for students, the responses were varied and full of enthusiasm. Everything from the MCG, Art Gallery, The Zoo, the walk to the Netball & Hockey Centre, even Urban Camp itself and of course the train trip. The bus trip home held lots of sharing about purchases from the Queen Vic Market.  We knew we’d arrive home tired and we certainly did!
