Welcome to Term 3!  Throughout the holidays and despite lockdown, the move to our new administration block was completed.  The addition and refurbishment of this block is the final stage of our current Master Plan.

The location of the office near the Hatchett Street entrance, will be more convenient for parents and carers.  Thank you for your patience throughout the completion of this project.

Many grandparents and elderly family members assist with the care of children. Hopefully, the location of the office will assist all who collect children during the school day.

For the safety of our students, all entry gates will be opened at 7.45 am and locked by 8.45 am.  After that time, the only way to enter or exit the school grounds will be via the school office. Thank you to all parents and carers for wearing masks and checking in this week, it is great modelling for students to see adults complying with rules - a teachable moment!

Supervision of students by staff members commences at 8 am, prior to that time the OSHC (Out of Hours School Care) is available. Supervision of children prior to 8 am is the responsibility of parents and carers. 

The safety of children is everyone’s responsibility. Last week on 5 July, a new law was introduced. This law makes it the responsibility of all adults to report sexual offences against children to the police. Please see the letter attached HERE

As we continue to plan for key events to take place, please keep in your thoughts and prayers all families affected by Covid-19. While we may experience some minor inconvenience to our daily routines and practices, we are fortunate that the impact of Covid-19 has been minimised for Townsvillians.

In Week 3, we will be celebrating Catholic Education Week. Part of our celebrations include a Colour me Crazy Run on Sunday, 1 August. This is an event for our students and family members. As we could not hold this event last year, we are looking forward to this fun-filled, family event.  

This term, like others, proves to be filled with events, so please make sure you keep informed by reading the newsletter, following us on Facebook or accessing information via Compass.

I look forward to working with you and your child in the term ahead.

God bless,

Geraldine
