Principal's News Week 7
Dear Families
A special greeting to all our fathers, grandfathers and special people in our community who celebrate Father’s Day this weekend. I am sure you are all looking forward to celebrating this Sunday with your families, starting with a scrumptious breakfast in bed.
Unfortunately we are not able to celebrate together due to Covid-19 but we will celebrate as a community with a special Father’s Day montage that will be published on Facebook on Sunday. If anyone has a photo they would like to share please ensure you email it through by COB today (Thursday).
Canteen News
It is sad news that both Jo Summerfield and Sue Lever have decided to resign their positions as Canteen Managers. Both Jo and Sue have been a long-standing members of our school community - Jo starting in 2005 and Sue in 2007. I would like to publicly thank both Jo and Sue for their dedication and support of the school over their many years of service and wish them both well in their future endeavours.
The canteen will close after the lunch time service on Thursday 17 September and will hopefully re-open in Term 4 after we recruit a new canteen manager. Please note that the canteen will not be open on Friday 18, Thursday 24 or Friday 25 September.
If you are interested in the position or know of someone who may be interested, please direct them to the Catholic Education website:
Alternatively you can contact me directly kate.markcrow@cg.catholic.edu.au.
ANU Tax Clinic
ANU are running free tax clinics. It is a student-led FREE service, with tax professionals attending each appointment.
We are targeting clients who are:
- Currently unrepresented (do not have a tax agent);
- Are an individual or a sole trader; and
- Reside in the ACT and surrounds.
Appointments are by phone or zoom. Here is our web site for further information: https://www.rsa.anu.edu.au/rsa/anu-tax-clinic/
Year 6 Day Camp
Unfortunately due to Covid-19, overnight camps have not been able to go ahead. Year 6 will visit Birrigai on both Monday and Wednesday next week, participating in an outdoor leadership program. Along with this the children will also have a Mini Olympics day on Tuesday and a retreat day for their Confirmation on Thursday next week. I hope the children enjoy themselves and have a fun week of activities next week. A special thanks to the Year 6 teachers for organising this great initiative.
Targeted Kindergarten Health Checks
Canberra Health Services are offering a targeted kindergarten health check, focusing on vision and hearing. These health checks are performed in clinics at the City Community Health Centre on Mondays and Fridays and there will be appointments available during the school holidays. Appointments can be made by phoning the Central Intake Line on 5124 9977.
Peace and Best Wishes
