Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences
Thank you for attending our recent parent-teacher-student conferences. We appreciate you taking the time to meet with the teachers and hope the conferences provided valuable insights into your child’s progress. Setting goals plays a vital role in guiding your child's learning path. As we move forward, we encourage you to have conversations with your child about their goals for next semester. Together, let's support our students in their goal-setting process. Please remember that you may contact your child's teacher at any time.

community and partners in their child’s education.”

Term 3 School Supplies and Personal Belongings

As students prepare to return for Term 3, parents are asked to ensure that their child's pencil case and school supplies are replenished. Having all their supplies each day supports the learning process. The holiday period is also a good time to check that all personal belongings have names on them. In particular, jackets, drink bottles and school hats.

School Uniform - Semester 2

As we approach Semester 2, it is important that the students continue to wear the full school uniform. Please check your child's uniform, including their school hat, school shoes and joggers. Many thanks to those parents who ensure their children have haircuts that meet the expectations for students at St Francis of Assisi. Students are required to wear their hair in a neat and tidy manner. Thank you for continuing to support our uniform policy.

Boys haircuts should be of an even cut
Hair should be brushed and combed
Hair should not be in a condition as to invite comment
Long hair is to be tied back or plaited off the face and should not extend to cover the eyes
Navy, blue or yellow headbands, hair ties, ribbons or scrunchies are to be worn in the hair
Extreme styles, colouring or dyeing of hair is not permitted.

St Francis of Assisi acknowledges and respects the Dharawal people, past and present, the traditional custodians on whose land we educate our students.
