Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

The Yr 5/6 students have been researching social services available to children and youth, of which, there is quite a spectrum. The students have presented their research to the class and I have had the privilege of observing their short presentations. I was struck by the new knowledge they had gained and the genuine empathy and respect the students displayed when presenting these services. It’s so important that our young people know about the services they can reach out to when feeling worried, anxious, sad or in need of personal support.

Here are a few ways you can tell if your child is at risk of developing mental health concerns:

  • Regularly anxious or distressed
  • Struggling to overcome recurring problems
  • Unable to sleep, eat or concentrate
  • Avoiding regular social or family activities
  • Demonstrating/experiencing challenging behaviours at home/school/community

If needed you can reach out for support available to you and your children. Listed below are just a few -

CatholicCare | (02) 6162 6100

St Vincent de Paul | 6234 7381

Kids Helpline | 1800 551 800

Mental Health Line | 1800 011 511

Beyond Blue | 1300 224 636

Lifeline | 13 11 14

Mensline | 1300 789 978

Battle for Australia

Our Yr 6 school captains, Tara and Thomas, will represent our school at the 75th Anniversary of the end of the 2nd World War, and of Victory in the Pacific Day at this time of the year.  This year it will be held at the Australian War Memorial in their Last Post Ceremony on BFA Day. Tara and Thomas will lay the wreath. The AWM will be live streaming the ceremony on YouTube and Facebook. Brenda Galvin, our DSM, will accompany the captains.

Yours sincerely,
