Staff Spirituality
What is a Staff Spirituality Day? At St Francis of Assisi, we believe the spiritual growth of our staff is an integral part of Catholic education, as staff lead students' spiritual growth. As a Catholic school, we support our teachers and support staff to deepen their faith and connection with God. All school staff are encouraged to develop their faith and understanding. They are provided with opportunities such as:

• Annual Staff Spirituality Days
• School prayer and reflections
• Spirituality retreats
• Staff immersion experiences

Tomorrow, our staff will be engaged in a Staff Spirituality Day. Through prayer, purpose and passion, staff are supported in their calling to enable each student to achieve the 'fullness of life' (John 10:10).

Welcome to St Francis of Assisi
This week, we welcomed the Cao and Picciolo families to our St Francis of Assisi school community. Welcome Roman (Year 4), George (Year 5) and Joshua (Year 5). We hope you have enjoyed your week.

We look forward to working in partnership with you and your family.

Lost Property
Parents and carers, we have a large number of jumpers and jackets in the lost property tub. Please let your teacher know if your child has misplaced any of these items. Any items not collected by the end of Term 3 will be washed and placed in the clothing pool.

On behalf of the school community, we congratulate the Hadaya family on the birth of their baby girl. A sister for Serena (Year 1) and Tahlia (K2024). Welcome, baby Liyana. Congratulations also to the Stiles-Shutz family on the birth of their baby girl. A sister for Alira (Year 4) and Harvey. Welcome, baby Luna.

Safety around our School

Student safety is paramount at all times. Please observe parking restrictions that are in place on local streets and observe all speed limits in place around the school. The areas where there is an unbroken, continuous yellow line must be kept clear so that drivers and pedestrians have a clear view of each other and road safety is maintained. If you park on the opposite side of the road, please use the school crossing to collect your child. The local council enforces parking restrictions and safe practices around our school. Thank you for keeping our children safe.

Just a reminder
As we head into the final month of Term 3, please check your Compass and Seesaw notifications, social media posts and newsletter for upcoming events. Thank you for all your support.
