Principal's Report
Tell Them From Me Survey
We have had 25% of our families complete the Tell Them From Me Survey. We would like for all families to take the opportunity to give us feedback for growth across the school and have your say on agendas in home learning, canteen, fundraising targets and school events. The survey window has been extended and will now close next Friday.
The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You can access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device here:

Finance Transformation
We have now moved to our new finance system which means that Compass will be the source of all financial information for families and our bank account is no longer active. Families will receive a statement tomorrow with your new biller codes for paying fees. We would strongly encourage families to use Bpay, rather than making payments through Compass, as Compass payments incur transaction fees that reduce funds to the school. Catholic Education has provided the following letter to support families with our new system:
NAIDOC Week Grant
We are so pleased to have been successful in securing a $2000 NAIDOC Week Grant through the National Indigenous Australians Agency. This will support all our students to learn more about Indigenous culture through our NAIDOC Week activities with Aaron Chatfield from Dreamtime Connections. With this grant, Aaron will also be working with the Gang Gang Gang to help them learn about traditional plant uses in preparation for creating our Bush Tucker Garden. We are very grateful to the National Indigenous Australians Agency for supporting us in these endeavours.
Disco
We look forward to the Disco tomorrow evening from 6:00pm - 7:00pm. Thank you to TeamKids, Paris Dounoukos and our 3/4White families for their coordination of the event. Thanks also to Woolworths Majura for sponsoring our treat bags!
Parent Teacher Interviews
Bookings for parent teacher interviews have now opened on Compass. The interviews will be an opportunity to discuss your child's progress with their teacher before Semester One reports are published. We would encourage all families to book an interview, particularly as Semester One reports will not include a general comment.
