Harmony Day
On Monday 21 March we will celebrate Harmony Day. Harmony Week (21 March - 27 March) celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.​ How we will celebrate Harmony Day.
Students may come dressed in traditional clothing from their family’s heritage or background or wear something orange. Orange shirt, hair ribbons, socks etc. (This is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Day).

OSHC - Aspire
We have been able to obtain the services of Aspire OSHC to enable the after-school care service to continue at St Francis of Assisi school. From Monday 21 March, Aspire will continue to operate out of the School Hall, Monday to Friday, during school terms. We look forward to working in partnership with Aspire to continue to provide these much-needed services for our families. If you would like to continue with the after school service this term or would like to enrol for Term 2, please feel free to contact the School Office for an enrolment form.

Staff changes
Mrs Mansbridge will be on leave until the end of term. In her absence, Mrs Karen Agius will be teaching Year 2 on a Monday and Tuesday. Mrs Kathy Zaffonato will be teaching Year 2 from Tuesday through to Friday. On Tuesdays, Mrs Agius and Mrs Zaffonato will on class together. Please keep Mrs Mansbridge in your thoughts and prayers as she undertakes some major surgery.
