DCO name change to Defence Member and Family Support
On 1 July Defence Community Organisation (DCO) will change their name to Defence Member and Family Support (DMFS).
The new name reflects their vision, what they do and who they do it for. While their name is changing, there will be no changes to the services or programs offered to ADF members and their families.

Craft Groups
Our craft group is up and running on Thursdays in the library during playtime. There is also our craft group on Tuesdays for students with a parent away, whether it be on deployment or course. I am also including in this group any students who might just need some quiet time during lunch or feel they are having a little help settling in. So please let me know if you would like me to invite your child to our Tuesday craft/Lego sessions.
We are currently working on colouring bookmarks, which I will laminate for the kids, in our Tuesday Craft Group, but it’s a slow process as we tend to get busy talking and the colouring gets forgotten!
Please feel welcome to visit me at school or contact me on 6249 8869 or, alternatively, send an email to brenda.galvin@cg.catholic.edu.au
