Principal's Report
Campbell Community Event
Our Campbell Community Event scheduled for Friday 20 October is certainly starting to take shape. We have 5 food vans booked, the ADFA band have conducted a site visit and our Parish Pastoral Council and TeamKids have committed to setting up a Kids Corner with face painting, glitter tattoos and craft!
In the coming week, we will be sending home 10 flyers with each family. We would encourage you to share these flyers with family, friends and colleagues so that we can really make this a community celebration to remember!
5/6 Camp
Gwen Tarleton, Vanessa Miller, Ariana Strmota and I are currently in Stanwell Tops for our 5/6 Camp. The camp is an opportunity for our students to push themselves out of their comfort zone, come together as a team and discuss their future leadership potential both in transition to high school and moving into Year 6. We look forward to sharing photos of our trip!
Parent Engagement Grant
We are still waiting for the area outside 5/6W to be complete and ready for the wicking garden beds to be installed. Keep an eye out on Compass in the event that we call a mini working bee one afternoon next week!
Students Leaving St Thomas More's in 2023
At this stage, we have only received official notification from 4 families that their children will not be continuing at St Thomas More's in 2024. If your child is in Kindergarten to Year 5 and they are leaving in 2023 we would ask that you email the front office or myself by the end of this week.
Community Council Email
To continue our goal of improving parent engagement the Community Council have created a designated email for parents to contact us. The council's email is: STM.communitycouncil@cg.catholic.edu.au. We would encourage any parents with suggestions for council matters to email the council on this email address.
