Uniform:
We are anticipating a cooler change in the weather in the coming weeks as the season transitions. Soon, the red jumpers will make their appearance at Holy Spirit Catholic School. Now is a great time to retrieve them from the closet, wash them to soften them up, check that they still fit and please make sure they are labelled clearly so they can be returned if lost.
We have a small stock of secondhand school jumpers in various sizes available, and for a gold coin donation to Caritas, you are welcome to visit our friendly office staff. Additionally, School Locker has new jumpers available for purchase if you need one. Best and Less also often sells plain red jumpers and pullovers. We would prefer that jumpers be red, but we understand that you may need time to find them. In the meantime, we would like our little ones to stay warm, so they are allowed to wear an alternative colour until a red jumper can be purchased.
It’s wonderful when our students adhere to the uniform, as it helps us stand out for all the right reasons. Holy Spirit Proud!
Season 1 of Interschool Sports commences this Thursday. We would like to acknowledge our teachers who are taking on the important role of coaches over the next six weeks. Teams from Years 5 and 6 will have the opportunity to represent our school in hockey, netball, and rugby league. The selected students have demonstrated Our SPIRIT Way values and will have the opportunity to further develop and showcase these attributes while competing against other schools.
Interschool Sports offers a fantastic chance for students to explore new athletic activities, even if they're already part of a club team. Beyond the clear benefits of getting active, participating in sports fosters better social interactions, emotional regulation, and teamwork skills. It provides students with valuable lessons in leadership and collaboration, essential qualities for lifelong learning. If your child is taking part in Interschool Sports this season, don't forget to ask them about the highlights of their games!
