Congratulations to Chloe B, Chloe L and Mikaylah for their recent efforts at the State Championships for Hockey that were recently held in Townsville. The girls represented Northern and our school with true Holy Spirit grit. Even on those cold mornings last week, they braved the elements to play fantastic hockey with their team mates. Well done girls. Holy Spirit is very proud of you. Congratulations also to Mrs Logan, who was the convenor for these championships.

This week saw Holy Spirit use Compass to release the report cards for the first time. Can I congratulate all those families for their organisation to have this ready. Congratulations also to our students on the fantastic effort that was evident throughout this semester. It is always wonderful to read the efforts that students are putting into their schoolwork and the life of our school. We have amazing students at Holy Spirit.

Finally, I would like to wish our school community a safe and relaxed school holidays. Term 3 begins again on Monday July 15.

Happy days.

Paul Martin
