From the Principal Desk
Each year the staff participate in professional development to support them in their roles as educators. The focus of our Staff Development Day this term aligns with our annual school improvement plan in the area of Mathematics. This Staff Development Day is a pupil-free day. Thank you to our parents and carers for organising care for their children on this day.It is important that our schools conduct Evacuation and Lockdown drills every term. The purpose of these drills is to ensure that in case of an emergency, our students, teachers and staff remain calm and know the procedure of where to go and what to do in the unlikely event that an evacuation or a lockdown occurs. Last term, we completed a successful Lockdown drill. Later this term, staff and students will be involved in an Evacuation drill.
Canteen helpers
Thank you so much to those parents who have volunteered to help in our canteen. Please let the Office know if you are able to lend a hand. Thank you.
Lost Property
Our lost property basket is overflowing. Items with names are returned. Items without names usually remain in the lost property basket. At the moment, we have unclaimed jackets, hats and drink bottles. Please ensure every item your child brings to school is labelled. Also, please take a few minutes to check your child's items, at times, the students can pick up another child's jacket, hat etc.
Farewell Sr Grace Cini
After five years at St Patrick's Parish Port Kembla and more than fifty years teaching thousands of children at St Francis of Assisi, Sr Grace will be moving to Adelaide, where she will enter into retirement and receive some additional care. The parish of Port Kembla will acknowledge her contribution to their parish at the 9.30 am Mass on Sunday 5 June. Sr Grace will visit our school on Wednesday 7 June, where she will join us for morning tea. We wish Sr Grace all the best as she prepares for this new chapter in her life. Best wishes, Sr Grace!
COVID-19 Updates
In recent weeks we have had some members of the community test positive to COVID-19. Please continue to monitor your children for symptoms and keep them at home if they are unwell. As we enter the winter months and flu season, please be vigilant about the early signs of influenza. Thank you for your ongoing support and vigilance.
