Welcome back to all our Defence families and a big welcome to all our new families joining us here at Holy Spirit.

What a start to the year! Unfortunately, due to this weather, I have not been able to meet all our new students yet, but I look forward to seeing them in the coming weeks.
Defence Club will hopefully start up in Week 3 and this will be held in our McCauley Room Hub on Mondays and Thursdays during second break. This is a great opportunity for our defence kids to meet up and have some time together being creative, playing games or just hanging out with new friends.

For those of you new to the school, please reach out to me via email if I can be of any assistance. I am also more than happy to take a phone call and have a chat. Likewise, to our existing families, please get in touch at any time and let me know if there is anything I can do to help with the new school year. If there are any postings or exercise movements pending, that can also be great for me to know so that I can provide support to your children where possible.
