Welcome to the Parent Memo for Term 3 Week 10.

Thank you to all families for their continued support of our school during these uncertain times.  We hope to have more parent involvement next term but at this stage nothing is confirmed and we will certainly communicate with everyone when we know of any changes.

We will be seeking volunteers to assist our new canteen manager so please get in touch if you are able to help out.

We wish all our students and their families a safe and happy holiday break. We hope you have the chance to rest and recharge during the holidays.  If you are travelling, please take care and stay safe.  Please follow the official health directions at all times. We recommend that you make yourself aware of any COVID-19 hot spots that may impact your travels or affect your return to school next term.  

We look forward to welcoming all students back for the first day of Term 4 on Monday 12 October 2020.

A reminder that commencing in Term 4, students are required to wear full summer uniform as outlined below.  In addition all students must wear the school hat at all times when playing outside.

Our clothing pool remains closed at this stage, but we do have a parent volunteer filling out email orders and payment may be made through QKR!

If you would like to purchase any second hand uniform please email office.stfranciscalwell@cg.catholic.edu.au with the items you require.  Orders will be filled where possible each Friday and sent home with your eldest child.

Our rescheduled School Photo Day will be held on Monday 19 October (Monday of Week 2).

Photo envelopes for each student have been sent home today.  Online ordering is the preferred payment method using the unique 'shoot key' assigned to each child.

Spare envelopes are available in the front office if required.  Spare envelopes do not have a shoot key - any parent requiring a shoot key for their child will have to call MSP on 6255 9208 or email canberra.office@msp.comm.au to obtain the shoot key (for example separated families needing extra envelopes or misplaced envelopes).

Sibiling envelopes are available at the front office if required.  A discount applies to families with three or more children.  After purchasing individual packs for each child, a sibilings presentation pack of your choice will be free.  Only children who present a siblings order form to the photographer on photo day will have their family/sibilings photo taken.

All children are to wear full summer uniform for photo day - no sports uniform on this day please!

The Community Council will be running a new and exciting fundraiser - Billy G's Gourmet Cookie Dough.

Further information will be sent out to all families once our online fundraising page has been established.

The preferred method of ordering is online, however cash orders will be accepted.  Paper forms will be available at the front office next term if you would like to place a cash order.

We expect delivery of our cookie dough in mid-November.

Thank you in advance for your support of this fundraiser!

A reminder that Term 3 fees are now overdue and prompt payment would be much appreciated.

If you require a copy of your Term 3 fee statement, please get in touch and I will email it through.

Kind regards

Due to an increase in the price of hats from our supplier, we will now be selling school hats for $20.00 each at the front office.

This is the same price as Savvy but with the added convenience of having the hats available at the office.  Payment may be made by cash, QKR or EFTPOS.

Book Week has been rescheduled to Term 4 from Monday 19 to Friday 23 October 2020.

Further information about book week activities and the book week parade will be communicated closer to the time.
