Principal's Report
Kinder 2025 Orientation
Last Thursday we welcomed our 2025 Kindergarten students and their families. The children spent the morning in the Kinder classroom connecting with their peers and getting a taste of what BIG school is like. A school presentation for their parents and carers was provided in Holy Faith Hall to welcome them, tell them about the opportunities available at St Thomas More's and how we will inspire and nurture their child to grow. Thank you to Jo Gale, our Kinder parent contact for 2025 who spoke and welcomed the families, inviting them to engage with our school community. Danielle Ridgway, our DSM presented information regarding how our Defence families are supported. Team Kids also presented information about their program and provided morning tea for families while they got to know each other.
Colour Run - Help us upgrade our bubblers!
In consultation with the students and our community council, we will be allocating the funds raised at our Colour Run to upgrading our current bubblers. It will be wonderful to have bubblers at varying heights and with the facility to fill drink bottles. We are currently sourcing sponsorship for the event and will launch the booklets next week, allowing the students two weeks to gather sponsors.
If you know of, or belong to, a business that would be interested in donating prizes or funds, please get in contact with the front office.
Confirmation
We celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday as a Parish and School Community. Archbishop Chirstopher Prowse celebrated the Mass with Father Anthony and confirmed the candidates. We congratulate Alyssa Skinn, Luke Cowan, and Bianca Manna.
