Congratulations to those students who received Principal and Value Awards at the Celebration of Learning assembly last Friday. We are very proud of you all!
Staff Development Day - Friday 6 JuneEach year, the staff participate in professional development to support them in their roles as educators. This week's Staff Development Day focus aligns with our annual improvement plan, "Growth in learning for all students through the use of quality assessment practices." It is a pupil-free day. Thank you to our parents and carers for organising care for their children on this day.
Welcome to St Francis of Assisi
This week, we welcomed the Mills and Commins families into our school community. Welcome, Oliver (K Blue) and Karter (2 Blue). The staff and students have enjoyed meeting you, and we look forward to working in partnership with you and your families.Thank you to our class teachers and all the staff for making Oliver and Karter feel so welcome.
We have noticed quite a few students arriving late for school. Starting the day on time, being organised, and following a routine are part of the formula for a successful day. Being on time for school is not just a matter of minutes on the clock; it is a fundamental aspect of personal and academic development. Students arriving late to school miss engaging with others before school, key announcements that are given out during the morning assembly, and preparing for the day ahead. It is important that parents and carers set an example for their children by ensuring they are on time for school. Please reach out if you need any support.
St Francis of Assisi acknowledges and pays respect to the Dharawal people, past and present, the traditional custodians on whose land we educate our students.
